如果要把恐龙或任何其他已灭绝的生物群体当作它们曾经是的生物来研究，那么已灭绝生物和现存生物的系统学必须是一致的。这延伸到物种的水平，被视为系统学的基本组成部分。这是本书所报道的专题的基本概念。1986年在加拿大阿尔伯塔德拉姆海勒的泰瑞尔古生物学博物馆举行了题为”恐龙系统专题讨论会”的专题讨论会。28篇论文中的13篇构成了这本书的核心。该研讨会是专门为查尔斯C。斯滕贝格和洛里斯罗素的前言回顾了他对加拿大阿尔伯塔恐龙的研究。下面是一个简短的前言，其中说明了研讨会的目的是研究性别二型性，个体发育，个体，变异和任何其他可能影响恐龙特定标本分类命名的因素。在Carpenter和Currie的题为”系统学和形态学变异”的导言中，变异的反复出现的主题是在上下文中设定的。随着标本数量和种类的增加以及概念的改变，恐龙已经从更严格的生物学角度进行研究，这是对变异在恐龙系统学发展中所起作用的扩展性评论。这本书中发表的13篇论文都经过了同行评审，大多数都在原始演讲之后进行了修改和更新。有些人直接攻击序言中所表达的专题讨论会的中心主题，有些人则离题太远，有些人几乎根本不攻击。它们排列在九个部分或章节中。第一，方法，包括两个文件。第一本是《恐龙系统学中的分支和等级》，保罗·塞雷诺详细分析了这两种方法在恐龙研究中的应用，并提出了他支持恐龙系统学中严格的分支系统的基础。在第二篇论文《恐龙形态学研究中的形状分析》中，Ralph E.查普曼通过分析食肉龙的头骨、Bagaceratops的个体发育、Protoceratops的两性异形、Plateosaurus的不对称性以及对几个属的厚头龙科头骨的复杂分析，解释并说明了形态测量和形状分析。Weishampel和Chapman在第二节中对板龙的研究以及Goodwin在第五节中对厚头龙类头骨材料的分析中也使用了形态测量技术。第二节至第八节依次讨论了蜥脚类、兽脚类、鸟脚类、
If dinosaurs, or any other groups of extinct organisms, are to be studied as the living creatures they once were, the systematics of the extinct and living must be consistent. This extends to the level of species, viewed as the basic building blocks of systematics. This is the basic concept around which the symposmm reported in this volume was organized. The symposium entitled" The Dinosaur Systematic Symposium" was held in 1986 at the Tyrrell Museum of Paleontology, Drumheller, Alberta, Canada. Thirteen of the twenty eight papers presented form the core of the book. The symposium was dedicated to Charles C. Sternberg and a Foreword by Loris Russell reviews his work on the dinosaurs of Alberta, Canada. Following is a short Preface in which the purpose of the symposium is stated to be to examine sexual dimorphism, ontogeny, individual, variation and any other factors that may influence the taxonomic designation of a particular specimen of dinosaur. In the Introduction entitled" Systematics and Morphological Variation" by Carpenter and Currie the recurrent theme of variation is set in context. It is an extended review of the role that variation has played in the development of dinosaur systematics as the numbers and varieties of specimens have increased and concepts have changed as dinosaurs have come to be studied from a more strictly biological point of view. Each of the thirteen papers published in this book was peer reviewed and most were modified and updated following the original presentations. Some attack the central theme of the symposium expressed in the Preface directly, others tangentially, and some almost not at all. They are arrayed in nine sections or chapters. The first, Methods, includes two papers. The first of these, Clades and grades in dinosaur systematics, Paul Sererno analyzes in some detail the uses that have been made of each two approaches in studies of dinosaur and presents the bases for his support of a strictly cladistic system in dinosaur systematics. In the second paper, Shape analysis in the study of dinosaur morphology, Ralph E. Chapman explains and illustrates morphometric and shape analysis by analyses of carnosaur crania, of ontogeny in Bagaceratops, of sexual dimorphism in Protoceratops, of asymmetry in Plateosaurus plus a complex analysis of crania of several genera of pachycephalosaurids. Morphometrlc techniques are also used in a study of Plateosaurus by Weishampel and Chapman in section II and by Goodwin in his analysis of pachycephalosaurid cranial material in section V. Sections II through VIII treat in sequence systematic problems of taxa within the Sauropodomorpha, Theropoda, Ornithopo-
