Biomechanics of Running Indicates Endothermy in Bipedal Dinosaurs
BACKGROUND One of the great unresolved controversies in paleobiology is whether extinct dinosaurs were endothermic, ectothermic, or some combination thereof, and when endothermy first evolved in the lineage leading to birds. Although it is well established that high, sustained growth rates and, presumably, high activity levels are ancestral for dinosaurs and pterosaurs (clade Ornithodira), othe...
متن کاملFeathered 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 کاملOviraptor philoceratops Dinosaurs
Oviraptor philoceratops [2] was a small bird-like dinosaur that lived about seventy-five million years ago, during the late Cretaceous period. In 1923, George Olsen of the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) in New York City, New York, discovered the first Oviraptor fossilized skeleton on top of a dinosaur egg [3] nest in the Gobi Desert, Mongolia. Because of the close proximity of dinosa...
