Oxygen isotopes suggest elevated thermometabolism within multiple Permo-Triassic therapsid clades

The only true living endothermic vertebrates are birds and mammals, which produce and regulate their internal temperature quite independently from their surroundings. For mammal ancestors, anatomical clues suggest that endothermy originated during the Permian or Triassic. Here we investigate the ori...
