Heat transfer in a realistic clutch reveals a lower efficiency in incubation of oviraptorid dinosaurs than of modern birds

3+ week, 19+ hour ago   (403+ words) It has been proposed that some reproductive traits specific to birds, such as thermoregulatory contact incubation (TCI), may also have been present in oviraptorosaurians, as inferred from clutch-associated oviraptorid adults with postures resembling avian brooding behavior. Nevertheless, prerequisites for TCI,…...

Newly dated 85-million-year-old dino eggs could improve understanding of Cretaceous climate

Newly dated 85-million-year-old dino eggs could improve understanding of Cretaceous climate5+ mon, 1+ day ago   (356+ words) In the Cretaceous period, Earth was plagued by widespread volcanic activity, oceanic oxygen depletion events, and mass extinctions. Fossils from that era remain and continue to give scientists clues as to what the climate may have looked like in different…...
