Abstract in brief

Ceratosaur theropods, dominant in the Southern Hemisphere until the Late Cretaceous, originated in the Early Jurassic, which contributed to their diverse body forms and ecological roles.
The main groups, Noasauridae and Etrigansauria (including Ceratosauridae and Abelisauridae), show significant differences in body structure; while Abelisaurids lost grasping ability, their reduced forelimbs may have served display purposes.
Variations in soft tissue and head structures among abelisaurids suggest adaptations for headbutting and display behaviors, and their ability to thrive in semiarid environments with high diversity helped them become successful in their evolutionary history.]
