Editing Allosaurus (section)

===Modern study===
The period since Madsen's monograph has been marked by a great expansion in studies dealing with topics concerning ''Allosaurus'' in life ([[paleobiology|paleobiological]] and [[paleoecology|paleoecological]] topics). Such studies have covered topics including skeletal variation,<ref name=DKS98>{{cite journal |doi=10.1080/02724634.1998.10011039 |last=Smith |first=David K. |year=1998 |title=A morphometric analysis of ''Allosaurus'' |journal=Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology |volume=18 |issue=1 |pages=126–142|bibcode=1998JVPal..18..126S }}</ref> growth,<ref name=PBetal06>{{cite journal |last1=Bybee |first1=Paul J. |year=2006 |title=Sizing the Jurassic theropod dinosaur ''Allosaurus'': Assessing growth strategy and evolution of ontogenetic scaling of limbs |journal=Journal of Morphology |volume=267 |issue=3 |pages=347–359 |doi=10.1002/jmor.10406 |pmid=16380967 |last2=Lee |first2=AH |last3=Lamm |first3=ET|s2cid=35111050 }}</ref><ref name=FC06>{{cite book |last1=Foster |first1=John R. |last2=Chure, Daniel J. |year=2006 |chapter=Hindlimb allometry in the Late Jurassic theropod dinosaur ''Allosaurus'', with comments on its abundance and distribution |editor=Foster, John R. |editor2=Lucas, Spencer G. |title=Paleontology and Geology of the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation |series=New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science Bulletin, '''36''' |publisher=New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science |location=Albuquerque, New Mexico |pages=119–122}}</ref> skull construction,<ref name="ERetal01">{{cite journal |last1=Rayfield |first1=Emily J. |last2=Norman |first2=DB |author-link2=David B.
