Feathered dinosaurs, flying dinosaurs, crown dinosaurs, and the name “Aves”
The taxon name “Aves” is currently used for several different clades, a situation that violates the fundamental nomenclatural principle that, to minimize ambiguity, each taxon name should refer to a single taxon. To clarify this situation, we explore some general issues concerning the properties of the three classes of phylogenetic definitions, including: how names can be tied to clades through...
متن کاملDinosaurs
How have anoles evolved such diverse morphologies? This is an exciting time in anole biology because recently the genome of the green anole, Anolis carolinensis, was completely sequenced (http://www.broad.mit. edu/models/anole/). The completion of an anole genome opened a new avenue of research into the genetic changes that accompany adaptive radiation. Researchers would like to know how many, ...
متن کامل3d-modelling of Dinosaurs
The paper gives a detailed report on investigations of dinosaur skeletons being conducted to collect data on dinosaurs’ life history. A large quantity of physiological data can be derived if the properties of living animals are inferred, e.g. body volume (body mass) and body surface area, using the methods of comparative physiology. These values can be determined through the use of some modelli...
متن کاملEstimating the diversity of dinosaurs.
Despite current interest in estimating the diversity of fossil and extant groups, little effort has been devoted to estimating the diversity of dinosaurs. Here we estimate the diversity of nonavian dinosaurs at approximately 1,850 genera, including those that remain to be discovered. With 527 genera currently described, at least 71% of dinosaur genera thus remain unknown. Although known diversi...
متن کاملThe Extinction of the Dinosaurs
Dinosaur extinction is still a major enigma of Earth history. In this review article, extinctions in the geological record will be briefly mentioned. Many of the imaginative theories for the extinction of the dinosaurs will also be presented. Within the uniformitarian paradigm, the meteorite impact theory, once considered 'outrageous', now is the dominant theory. However, the volcanic theory is...
