When you picture a dinosaur, what does it look like? For Jingmai O'Connor, paleobiologist and associate curator of reptiles at the Field Museum of Chicago, the dinosaurs she studies look a lot more like birds."If you looked at an artist's reconstruction of something like Velociraptor or Microraptor ... you would see that it pretty much looks the same as a bird," Jingmai says. "In terms of the plumage, the soft tissues covering the body, it would have looked very, very birdlike."In this episode, Short Wave delves into the dinosaur-avian connection. Which dinosaurs had feathers? Were they using them to fly? And once and for all – what are those ancient dinosaurs' relationship to birds today? Have other dinosaur questions you want us to unravel?

This group of predatory dinosaurs includes such famous names as Deinonychus, Microraptor, and Velociraptor, and they're among the most well-studied and popular dinosaurs of all time. This episode, we'll discuss what sets these dinosaurs apart, as well the much-discussed and -debated questions surrounding their relationships to birds, their distinctive claws and wings, and their hunting strategies. In the news: ant-mimic spiders, fishapod spinal column, early dinosaur growth, and a fossil tapeworm.

This week I speak with Jingmai O'Connor (Staff Page | Instagram), Associate Curator of Fossil Reptiles (a.k.a. Priestess of Dead Dino-Birds) at The Field Museum in Chicago, about the magnificent strangeness of Mesozoic flying reptiles, the perverse anthropology of paleontologists, and much else. Contrary to expectations for a show with “fossils” in its title, I don't ordinarily interview people who actually dig up prehistoric creatures, but as I make perhaps too obvious in this enthusiastic get-to-know-each-other session, I still care deeply for the treasured mysteries that lie in store beneath our feet and love the people who devote their lives to studying the ancient biosphere — even if the system's crooked and we fight about as much as dinosaurs themselves.Here's to Jingmai and her singular life and mind! Do yourself a favor and acquire her book When Dinosaurs Conquered The Skies, truly a treat for all ages, and then if you want to leap like Microraptor into the thicket of her publications you can scope her work on Google Scholar.  (And shout out to her friends Rextooth, who do in fact make awesome dino comics.)✨ Support The Show:• Subscribe on Substack or Patreon for COPIOUS extras, including private Discord server channels and MANY secret episodes!• Make one-off donations at @futurefossils on Venmo, $manfredmacx on CashApp, or @michaelgarfield on PayPal.• Buy the music of Future Fossils (in this episode: “Olympus Mons” & “Sonnet A”) on Bandcamp.• Buy the books we discuss at the Future Fossils Bookshop.org page and I'll get a cut.• Browse and buy original paintings and prints or email me to commission new work!✨ PLUS!

(image source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microraptor)Host Matthew Donald and guest co-host Christina Eilert discuss Microraptor, a beautiful ebony gem that went butterfly-mode and had four wings instead of two. Show-off. From the Early Cretaceous, this 2-foot dromaeosaurid might have been capable of true flight, but also might not have, which would be embarrassing. You went through all this effort to have four separate wings rather than the usual two and you still couldn't fly?! What a waste of evolution's time.Want to further support the show?

We've already mentioned Gigantoraptor this series so let's get down to the other end of the etymological scale and look at Microraptor. This little dromaeosaur was one of the first fully feathered dinosaurs to be found and is famous for its ‘four wings' with long flight feathers on the legs and the arms. There's loads of good specimens of this animal so it is perhaps no surprise that there has been lots of research on it and, by extension, lots of arguments about its lifestyle, evolution and especially, how well it could fly.  This week we are joined by Kobi Omenaka @kobestarr https://stripped.media/ who asks Dave  about many dino appearances in film BUT crucially, what IS Godzilla?   Links: A blogpost of Dave's on Microraptor feathers: https://archosaurmusings.wordpress.com/2012/03/16/heads-and-tails-microraptor-feathers/   And a much longer one about feather attachment and preservation: https://archosaurmusings.wordpress.com/2010/02/13/microraptor-in-uv-and-feather-attachment/

At various times in previous episodes we have talked about what various dinosaurs ate and bits of data about diet, but this time we're going to take a more systematic look at how palaeontologists work out the diet of ancient animals. We go through the obvious ones like sharp teeth and finding bits of stuff inside them to microscopic traces of damage on the enamel, the structure of teeth and elemental isotopes that linger for a hundred million years. All good clean fun (unless you are the dinosaur being shredded by a hungry carcharodontosaur).  We don't have a guest this week - so there is no better time to find @Iszi_lawrence and @Dave_hone on social media (use #terriblelizards) and stalk us. Also don't forget to check out our Patreon many thanks! Links: An old blogpost by Dr John Whitlock on wear marks on teeth and how that can be used to work out the diet of sauropods: https://archosaurmusings.wordpress.com/2011/04/14/guest-post-grazing-giants-sauropod-feeding/   A post about Dave's paper describing a Velociraptor that ate (part of) a large pterosaur: https://archosaurmusings.wordpress.com/2012/03/04/velociraptor-scavenging-azhdarchid/

It may have been small, but Microraptor was a menace to anything small enough to be considered a meal. The most amazing feature of this carnivore was the four wings and jet-black body! 

Some early predatory birds and feathered dinosaurs had multiple wings on both their arms and legs. These creatures were known as microraptoria, or Microraptor. One of the largest of these multiple winged creatures was known as Sinornithosaurus, which was suspected to be venomous by certain grooves running down the outer surface, towards the rear of the tooth, a feature seen only in venomous animals, such as snakes and the venomous Gila Monster lizard. North American folklore also speaks of multiple winged creatures with venomous fangs and talons. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/myneighbormothman/support

Dinosaurier sind faszinierend. Viele von uns wissen das noch aus ihrer Kindheit, als wir gespannt in Büchern geblättert und mit Modellen gespielt haben. Schade eigentlich, dass sie ausgestorben sind… Sind sie das? Was wäre, wenn sie noch leben? Was wäre, wenn sie unter uns sind, wir sie jeden Tag sehen und hören? Und was wäre, wenn sie ganz anders ausgesehen haben, als wir denken? Die dritte Folge biophon erzählt die Geschichte der Dinosaurier bis in die Gegenwart - auf der Basis wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisse anstelle populärer Dinosaurier-Filme - und zeigt, warum wir unsere Vorstellungen dieser Tiere möglicherweise grundlegend verändern müssen.Coverbild: Tyrannosaurus on a watering hole, (c) Damir G.

Allgemein unstrittig ist, dass die Vögel der diapsiden Entwicklungslinie der Amnioten entstammen (siehe auch Reptilien). Als ihre nächsten lebenden Verwandten gelten die Krokodile. Gemeinsam bilden Krokodile und Vögel die Diapsiden-Untergruppe der Archosauria. Die Skelette der ersten Vögel stammen aus Ablagerungen des Oberjura (ca. 150 Mio. Jahre vor heute) und zeigen nach Ansicht der Mehrzahl der Forscher eine enge verwandtschaftliche Beziehung zu kleinen Raubdinosauriern (Theropoden) aus der Gruppe der Maniraptora. Nach den Regeln der Kladistik sind Vögel damit ebenfalls Dinosaurier. Die Maniraptora galten allerdings lange als reine Bodenläufer, da ihr Fossilbericht, speziell die Ausbildung der Gliedmaßen aller bis dahin bekannten Vertreter, eine solche Lebensweise nahelegte. Die Anhänger einer Nicht-Dinosaurier-Abstammung der Vögel weisen deshalb unter anderem darauf hin, dass fliegende oder gleitfliegende Tiere immer von baumlebenden Vorfahren abstammten, die sich zunächst zu Baumspringern entwickelt hätten. Die Vögel müssten deshalb zwingend von baumlebenden Diapsiden abstammen und könnten deshalb keine Dinosaurier sein.[4] Erst im Jahr 2000 wurde Microraptor entdeckt, eine sehr wahrscheinlich baumlebende und gleitfliegende Gattung gefiederter Theropoden. Wenngleich Microraptor in der Frühen Kreide (ca. 130 Mio. Jahre vor heute) und somit deutlich später lebte als die ersten Vögel, zeigt seine Entdeckung, dass die Maniraptora auch baumlebende Formen hervorbringen konnten, und stützt die These der Zugehörigkeit der Vögel zu dieser Gruppe (und damit zu den Dinosauriern). Aber auch die Debatte, ob sich die Vögel aus Bodenläufern oder aus Baumspringern entwickelt haben, ist noch nicht entschieden(.https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%C3%B6gel#Abstammung_von_Dinosauriern)

Everybody starts somewhere, and most animals start inside an egg! Eggs are about as old and as varied as animal life itself, and when they show up in the fossil record, they can be very telling. In this episode we discuss what goes inside an egg, what makes them so special and useful, and what we can learn from their patchy fossil record. In the news: early archosaurs, more on Dilophosaurus, Microraptor feathers, and a large dolphin.

Palaeontology is more than just going out into the field, digging up bones, and putting them back together. A good understanding of biology, geology, and even engineering can help to figure out how extinct animals lived and especially how they moved around. To further comprehend how we can use knowledge of engineering in palaeontology, especially with respect to understanding extinct animal flight, we spoke to Colin Palmer from the University of Bristol, and the University of Southampton. His background in engineering provides a unique set of skills and angle to studying pterosaur flight.

In this Best Dinosaur episode, FU includes cassowaries, ‘Labrodon’, liberal Hollywood, and gull feet. News from Darren & John includes Darren the cruisemeister, Big Book, what’s at Tet Zoo, FROGS, Tet Zoo's birthday, and no news from John. News from World of News whips by with the two minute rule in effect, with Rue Pei et al. new Microraptor, bird phylogeny papers, Koschowitz et al. vs Mayr on feathers, Aquilops, dwarf elephant, no polar bear in yeti DNA.Cash for questions include what the best dinosaur is, the social structure of dinosaurian groups, and the rights and wrongs of keeping whales and reptiles in captivity.For Popular tat: Dawn of the Planet of the ApesDarren: ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆John: ★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆(Surprise.)Download here.

The Society of Vertebrate Paleontology are this year holding their annual conference in the Westin Bonaventure Hotel, Los Angeles. The SVP were formed in 1940 by thirty-four paleontologists, the society now has more than 2,300 members representing professionals, students, artists, preparators and others interested in vertebrate paleontology. It is organised exclusively for educational and scientific purposes, with the object of advancing the science of vertebrate paleontology. At this event, we’re aiming to continue our daily reports, following on from our coverage of GSA, bringing all those who can't attend a flavour of the conference.

Darren and John knowledgeably discuss the aerodynamics of Microraptor, the new tail of Jeholornis, a little about crocodyliform crocodylomorphs, and Eoraptor. The film this week is Dudzilla, which John excitingly vaguely recalls wasn't all that bad - Darren disagrees.Download here.

The Mesozoic Era saw the spectacular rise and fall of many groups, particularly in terrestrial vertebrates. These include birds, squamates, crocodiles, and pterosaurs, who wove a complex tapestry of evolution through the 185 million years of the Mesozoic, some even persisting until now. Dave Hone, now of Queen Mary in London, has extensively studied the ecology of many of these now-extinct organisms, especially theropod dinosaurs, to gain rare insights into how they would have lived millions of years ago. You can keep track of his research by following his blogs at the Guardian and Archosaur Musings webpages.

Hosts: Ed Brown, Penny Dumsday, Elf Eldridge. Topics covered: Pregnancy is hard enough for humans, but a study shows the high energy cost to pregnant dolphins. Paleontologists in China have discovered the remains of a bird inside the stomach of a Microraptor dinosaur. The successful embedding of an LED in a contact lens paves the way for head-up-displays and augmented reality. A 70-million year old nest has been found, with the remains of 15 baby protoceratops dinosaurs. The switch to an agricultural society has led to a shortening of the human jaw, and therefore crooked teeth. Elf Eldridge is a Physics PhD student at the MacDiarmid Institute where he works on developing nanopore technology. He is also a science communicator, a blogger for the SciBlogs network and co-host of The Official Sciblogs Podcast.
