a Body size frequency distributions of different crocodylomorph groups (mono- or paraphyletic), constructed using the full set of 240 specimens in the ODCL dataset. Underlying unfilled bars represent values for all crocodylomorphs. Filled bars represent values for Crocodylia, Notosuchia, Thalattosuchia, non-mesoeucrocodylian crocodylomorphs (excluding thalattosuchians), Tethysuchia and non-crocodylian neosuchians (excluding tethysuchians and thalattosuchians). b Body size distributions of different crocodylomorph lifestyles, shown with box-and-whisker plots (on the left) and a mosaic plot (on the right). The 195 species from the ODCL dataset were subdivided into terrestrial, semi-aquatic/freshwater and aquatic/marine categories (N = 45, 100 and 50, respectively) based on the literature. Body size is represented by log10 cranial length (ODCL, orbito-cranial length, in millimetres)
