| Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web. While unregistered users are able to browse the forum on a basic level, registering an account provides additional forum access not visible to guests as well as the ability to join in discussions and contribute yourself!

I just realized this has some crurotarsians in it, like in TA. Whoops. Soz JF Aetosauria - Elephant/Pig like forms Phytosauria - Crocodiles Prolacertiformes - Small scavengers, except for Shavopteryx descendants, and isolated large creatures Rauisuchia - Big carnivores, and some gallimimid like forms Rhynchosauria - Hippo like creatures Trilophosauria - Ungulate like life forms Younginiformes - Lizards Avicephala - Bird like, chameleon like in some forms Thalattosauria - Sea-lizards Sphenosuchia - Most non volant arboreal carnivores I'll get some work started on this soon. If anyoone would like to help, just ask. Website link: http://different-world.weebly.com/index.html Edited by SIngemeister, Sep 10 2010, 07:45 AM.

Hmm maybe the prosauropods could end up like the dodo... absolutely useless in defending themselves and practically doomed for extinction |

They won't be defenceless. There are still predators there, just no competitors for browsing. |

Could you say which ones are updated, because it is a bit tedious clicking on each link to find the ones with the updated material. |

Thanks, I like the Sphenosuchia page, especially the Screaming Custodian. Though I'm wondering if the Aetosaurs would be able to make it to the present day. |

Why shouldn't they make it? I think they would survive |

They're mostly in the 'large herbivore' niche, especially as browsers. They had competition with sauropods, but that ended up splitting into elephant/giraffe roles (respectively) |

That's what I mean, if they are large animals they are a lot more prone to extinction. |

They were hit quite hard by K-T, harder than most of the other surviving lineages, but survived a lot better than the sauropods. Less specialised to browsing. |

But they would of had some smaller species in order to survive the K-T. |

Of course there were smaller ones that did survive. They mostly kept the Sauropods out of the mid-range herbivore niche. Sauropods were mostly large herbivores, and thus were hit very hard. Prestosuchids and suchian Poposuchids were the dominant land predators alongside some non-avian dinosaurs, and thus were hit hard. Raiusuchids were generally smaller, whilst Ctenosauriscids seem to have incredibly amounts of luck on their side. |
