An article published in the journal “Journal of Biogeography” describes a research that led to recreate the possible outline of the migrations of dinosaurs during the Mesozoic era and concluded that there was particularly a very important one from today’s Europe in the Cretaceous, between 146 and 100 million years ago. These results were obtained by applying for the first time network theory to paleontology.
