Biogeography of paravian dinosaurs

This comprehensive article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline and either hook could be used. I did wonder about the accuracy of the first hook, but I see that our article Bird states that "Based on fossil and biological evidence, most scientists accept that birds are a specialised subgroup of theropod dinosaurs". The article is neutral and I detected no copyright or plagiarism issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:22, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
