- •
Pleistocene Rusingoryx atopocranion are first known mammals with hollow nasal crests
- •
Rusingoryx ontogeny and evolution are broadly similar to lambeosaurine hadrosaurs
- •
The best-supported nasal crest function is phonic modification
- •
Combination of convergent ontogeny, evolution, and function may explain crest rarity
