OverviewAI-generated summary

Adam P. Cossette's research focuses on the systematic study of fossil crocodylians and their evolutionary history. His work involves describing new fossil specimens and re-evaluating existing classifications to understand the relationships and diversification of extinct crocodilian lineages. Cossette has investigated the early evolution of character traits within alligatoroids and the phylogenetic placement of species within the crocodylidae family.

His research has contributed to understanding the paleobiogeography and faunal changes of crocodylians in different regions, including North America and Africa, during the Cenozoic era. Cossette also examines the influence of ontogenetic growth on the cranial morphology of crocodylians. His publication record includes studies on the giant alligatoroid *Deinosuchus* and the alligatoroid *Bottosaurus*, as well as crocodylids from Kenya.
