Dinosaur Fossils Predict Body Temperatures
Perhaps the greatest mystery surrounding dinosaurs concerns whether they were endotherms, ectotherms, or some unique intermediate form. Here we present a model that yields estimates of dinosaur body temperature based on ontogenetic growth trajectories obtained from fossil bones. The model predicts that dinosaur body temperatures increased with body mass from approximately 25 degrees C at 12 kg ...
متن کاملBody Temperatures in California and Gambel's Quail
Tm• paucity of data on the body temperatures of small gallinaceous birds prompts us to report miscellaneous observations which we have made over the past several years on the body temperatures of the California Quail, Lophortyx californicus, a common resident in grassland and chaparral from southern Oregon to southern Baja Cal/fornia, and the Gambel's Quail, L. œambelii, a resident in the deser...
متن کاملIsotopic ordering in eggshells reflects body temperatures and suggests differing thermophysiology in two Cretaceous dinosaurs.
Our understanding of the evolutionary transitions leading to the modern endothermic state of birds and mammals is incomplete, partly because tools available to study the thermophysiology of extinct vertebrates are limited. Here we show that clumped isotope analysis of eggshells can be used to determine body temperatures of females during periods of ovulation. Late Cretaceous titanosaurid eggshe...

متن کاملBody size and vocalization in primates and carnivores
A fundamental assumption in bioacoustics is that large animals tend to produce vocalizations with lower frequencies than small animals. This inverse relationship between body size and vocalization frequencies is widely considered to be foundational in animal communication, with prominent theories arguing that it played a critical role in the evolution of vocal communication, in both production ...
