Taiwanese researchers built a life-size model of an oviraptor nest to investigate how these dinosaurs incubated their eggs. Their experiments indicate a hybrid method involving parental warmth and sunlight, differing from modern birds. This approach explains uneven heating and asynchronous hatching in nests.

A study of rare fossils reveals that Anchiornis, a feathered dinosaur from 160 million years ago, likely could not fly due to irregular molting patterns in its wing feathers. Researchers led by Dr. Yosef Kiat from Tel Aviv University analyzed nine well-preserved specimens from eastern China. The findings, published in Communications Biology, suggest flight evolution in dinosaurs was more complex than previously thought.

I paleontologi hanno identificato Xenovenator espinosai, un dinosauro carnivoro di 74 milioni di anni fa trovato in Coahuila, che collega grandi e piccoli carnivori della zona. Questo troodontide misurava circa 3 metri di lunghezza e cacciava nella formazione Cerro del Pueblo. La scoperta evidenzia la ricca paleontologia di Coahuila, con 15 generi documentati.
