I feel like the news is in the details here, that non-biologists won't really understand or appreciate. Because as far as I know it's not news that small mammals co-existed with dinosaurs.

I distinctly remember learning (as a kid) that mammals survived it because they were small, could breed often, and produced lots of offspring... so they could evolutionally adapt quickly.
