2024 marks 200 years since William Buckland reported his research on Megalosaurus, later recognised as the first non-avian dinosaur genus to be formally named by science. To mark this anniversary, we present a curated collection from the Nature journals spanning the breadth of dinosaur research published in the interim, focusing on the key questions of evolution, extinction, life history and behaviour, as well as historical gems from the archive.
