Heat transfer in a realistic clutch reveals a lower efficiency in incubation of oviraptorid dinosaurs than of modern birds
3+ mon, 3+ week 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,…...
