Dinosaurs and the island rule: The dwarfed dinosaurs from Haţeg Island (2010, result): “The growth marks in the bones of Europasaurus suggest it achieved small size by a slowing of its growth rate, in contrast to the accelerated growth of giant sauropods (Padian et al., 2001; Sander et al., 2004).”
