When Dinosaurs Defy Science: A New Study Shakes Up Ecological Theories
When you throw dinosaurs into the mix, sometimes you find that a rule simply isn’t. A new study led by scientists at the University of…

Research indicates that a group of five three-horned dinosaurs lived and died together. From The Land Before Time to Jurassic Park, the famous horned dinosaur…
Researchers think they have discovered critical flaws in the studies advocating for aquatic hunting behavior in Spinosaurus. Nathan Myhrvold of Intellectual Ventures, US, and his…
Fossils of pony-sized duckbill dinosaurs from Morocco have been discovered by an international team of scientists. Their analysis reveals a surprising connection between the dinosaurs…
Scientists have discovered that terrestrial ecosystems are more prone to collapse from significant animal life loss than marine ecosystems, with the impacts lasting longer on…
Research conducted by UChicago paleontologists and their partners reveals significant flaws in previous theories suggesting that the sail-backed giant predator Spinosaurus actively hunted its prey…
Birds can fly— at least, most of them can. Flightless birds, such as penguins and ostriches, have adapted to life without the need for flight….
Dinosaurs might have used feathers on forelimbs and tails to flush and pursue their prey – a new hypothesis integrates morphology, behavior and neurobiology. What…
New findings, including the discovery of Eoneophron infernalis, suggest that dinosaurs, particularly caenagnathids, were not declining in diversity before the asteroid impact, contradicting earlier theories…
New research suggests feathered dinosaurs used proto-wings and tail feathers to flush out prey, supporting the ‘flush-pursue hypothesis’ for the evolution of bird wings and…
Newly discovered Tyrannosaurus mcraeensis, potentially T. rex’s closest relative, lived 71-73 million years ago in southern Laramidia, indicating the early evolution of giant tyrannosaurs. A…
A research team from USC Dornsife has made significant discoveries regarding the drastic changes caused by a surge in greenhouse gases and escalating temperatures, which…
A CT scan of a lesser-known, herbivorous dinosaur’s skull shows that although it might not have been particularly “brainy,” it possessed a distinctive set of…
Restudy of fossils collected in New Mexico digs up key clues about T. rex’s origins in North America. A new study published in Scientific Reports…
Nanotyrannus was a smaller, longer-armed relative of T. rex, with a narrower snout. A new analysis of fossils believed to be juveniles of T. rex…
These tracks pre-date the oldest bird bone by around 60 million years. Ancient animals were walking around on bird-like feet over 210 million years ago,…
McGill researchers challenge the current understanding of dinosaur extinction by unearthing a link between volcanic eruptions and climate change. What wiped out the dinosaurs? A…
Free-thinking computers reverse-engineered the fossil record to identify the causes of a cataclysm. To address the long-standing debate about whether a massive asteroid impact or…
