Evolution Of Sauropod Bauplan

Improved Essays
Sauropods have been popularized through their presence in various movies, books, and short stories. These dinosaurs diversified in the Jurassic period with fossils found throughout the world. Despite this, the Sauropods’ evolutionary path spanning from origin to extinction remains unclear. Upon review of many papers on the evolution of Sauropod bauplan, it was found that there are several different lineages that contribute to the Sauropods’ long necks and tails, large body size, and small head (Sander et al. 2011). Although, the development of their evolutionary characters has not been truly understood, it has shown that this trait was adapted for success because they were among one of the most long-lived dinosaurs. Although these sauropods

    Microraptor utilized its streamlined body and wings in order to glide which further support the theory that the evolution of dinosaurs led to birds. Similarly, the fossil record shows how early members of the theropod developed a wishbone chest, the fusing of both right and left collarbones, which allowed for the stabilization of the shoulders that allowed for higher shock absorbent. Furthermore, it shows how theropods utilized hollow bones to intake oxygen during inhalation and exhalation. Similarly, birds have duel purposes for their hollow bones as it allows them to intake oxygen during inhalation and exhalation to fuel their high energy lifestyle as well as allowing for their body to be as light as possible for sustained flight. By using this evolutionary chain developed after the discovery of these unknown fossils, one can see how the gradual evolution of dinosaurs lead to the development of birds.…

    As the Earth goes through time, we began to see that the species that were developing were slowly evolving into the modern day turtles that we see now. They began to lose their rough scaly shell with the N. argentina and the N.oweni and began to develop a more smooth texture, needed for swimming. This is where we discover the genus Meiolania (“small roamer”). The species within Meiolania have been known to be on earth until about 2000-3000 years ago living between the Oligocene-Holocene eras and it mainly resided within Australia, Lord Howe Island, New Caledonia and Vanuatu varying in different sizes while in different areas. Meiolania had a very unusually shaped skull that hosted many knob and horn like bulges.…

    Michael Crichton wrote the original “Jurassic Park” and Steven Spielberg captivated us with the 1993 Blockbuster that has turned into an impeccable franchise (Anderson, 2015). At ten years old, I merely went to see the movie a dozen times before my parents no longer would give into my paleontology obsession. “No one’s impressed by a dinosaur anymore,” are the lines expressed by park manager, Claire, in “Jurassic World” (Anderson, 2015). The franchise has spawned a mega-brand that has like any other, experienced highs and lows. Did I mention “Jurassic World” was just named the #3 highest-grossing film of all time, by Newsday (2015).…

    The purpose of this article was to uncover the evolutionary lineage of the giant short-faced bears, also known as Tremarctinae which are found in North and South America. The hypothesis for the article was that although the Artodus, which are the North American short-faced bears, and Arctotherium, which are the South American short-faced bears have the same survival traits they evolved autonomously of each other. This means that the two species have deviated from each other, but still evolve the same traits to sustain themselves or fill their vocation, which is called convergent evolution. Ancient mitochondrial DNA was used to trace the lineages from the fossilized bones and the DNA sequences were analyzed to distinguish how the bear's molecular…

    A species called Lutrogale palaeoleptonyx was initially thought to be an ancestor, but it was later proven to be the ancestor of Lutrogale perspicillata. The Oriental small-clawed otter likely evolved from Aonyx aonychoides because their bodies are long, streamlined and short legged. They have muscular tails, webbed paws, and powerful hind legs. Their front paws have opposable “thumbs” for grabbing. The small, rounded ears have a valve structure enabling closure underwater thick pelts.…

    The Australian Salt-Water Crocodile [Crocodylus porosus] is an ancient group of achosaurs, which first appeared in the fossil record during the Late Triassic; over 200 million years ago. An ancestor of the Salt Water Crocodile, is the Isisfordia duncanii, which originated in Isisford Qld during the Mid Cretaceous period. The Isisfordia duncanii is essentially, the beginning of the lifestyle, known as “semi aquatic ambush predators” and despite being considerably smaller than the average Salt Water Crocodile, it bears a striking resemblance to its modern day counterpart. This new discovery has allowed for an insight into how this species resulted in the creation of the Salt Water Crocodile.…

    New species of these dinosaurs had become more important. The most famous dinosaur of all, the Tyrannosaurus rex, finally came along during the end of the Mesozoic Era. It walked on two legs so it is a theropod. All theropods were carnivorous. Sea animals and life in the sea was very like how it was in the Jurassic period.…

    Long Neck Research Paper

    Scientists have long theorized that the long neck of modern-day giraffes evolved to enable them to find more vegetation or to develop a specialized method of fighting. A new study of fossil cervical vertebrae reveals the evolution likely occurred in several stages as one of the animal's neck vertebrae stretched first toward the head and then toward the tail a few million years later. The study's authors say the research shows, for the first time, the specifics of the evolutionary transformation in extinct species within the giraffe family. "It's interesting to note that the lengthening was not consistent," said Nikos Solounias, a giraffe anatomy expert and paleontologist at NYIT College of Osteopathic Medicine.…

    The creature that is being examined in this experiment is the now extinct Spinosaurus aegyptiacus, a dinosaur that lived in Northwestern Africa about 95 million years ago. The Spinosaurus (fig.1) was a creature that has been estimated to be anywhere from 13 to 18 meters (43 to 60) long, weighed 7 to 9 tonnes (8-10 tons), and is agreed to be by most paleontologists the largest carnivorous dinosaur of all time. It is thought to be a piscivore, although the Spinosaurus’ diet and lifestyle is very controversial. It was named in 1915 by the German paleontologist Ernst Stromer. It lived in North Africa, from the Bahariya Formation in Egypt to the Kem Kem Formation in Morocco.…

    Dimetrodon Response Paper The article “Dimetrodon Is Not a Dinosaur: Using Tree Thinking to Understand the Ancient Relatives of Mammals and their Evolution” by Kenneth D. Angielczyk attempts to demystify the evolutionary history of mammals using evolutionary trees and succeeds in doing so. The author begins with the Dimetrodon as an example to demonstrate the power in using evolutionary trees. It is revealed that the Dimetrodon, a synapsid that closely resembles a dinosaur, is more closely related to mammals than dinosaurs. The mention of this point is important because it suggests that a comparison of superficial features between two organisms is not enough to determine whether…

    These dinosaurs were made by humans, and the doctors made them a certain way. All of them were thought to be female so they wouldn't reproduce. Unfortunately that wasn't the case. The biologist and doctors did something wrong which caused the dinosaurs to reproduce. For the park that wasn't good because they didn't know what to expect from them since they didn't make those.…

    Australopithecus sediba existed 1.977 – 1.98 million years ago. The characteristics of this species vary greatly from modern humans, but certain similarities with tooth traits, the pelvis bone, and a broad lower chest resemble those of modern-man. Au. Sediba is a very good candidate for the ancestor to the Homo genus because of many of the similarities found in its skeletal structure. Smaller premolars, molars, as well as facial features were more similar to the Homo genus.…

    Essay On Thermoregulation

    • 737 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Thermoregulation is the process of regulating the internal body temperature of animals within a certain range. Endotherms, such as mammals and birds, thermoregulate internally by generating heat from metabolic processes and are able to keep their body temperature high and relatively constant, adapting to the environment to maintain homeostasis. This type of thermoregulation requires a high metabolic rate, that enables organisms to be more physically active without having to rely on the environment, hence increases evolutionary fitness. Ectotherms, such as reptiles and fish obtain heat from the environment and hence have a slower metabolism and can tolerate fluctuations in their internal temperature. Ectotherms thermoregulate by adjusting their behaviour, for example, laying in the sun or submerging themselves in water (Mrowka & Reuter 2016; Griebeler 2013; Grady et al. 2014;…
