• Slaying dragons: limited evidence for unusual body size evolution on islands (2011, unknown): “…carnivorous mammals is most often quoted as allowing the evolution of large size in birds (mainly through the evolution of flightlessness; e.g. Bunce et al., 2005; Murray & Vickers-Rich, 2004), reptiles (e.g. Case, 1978; Meiri, 2008) and small mammals (e.g. Angerbjörn, 1986; Adler & Levins, 1994).”
