LOOP 4.1: Against the odds, we've all made it through the PTME. It's now time to focus on episode 4, with the reptiles and their adaptation to different environments. We touch upon biomechanics and crank up the VFX dial to 11. Life On Our Planet (LOOP) is a new 8-part series created for Netflix by Silverback Films and Amblin Television. This Steven Spielberg produced series, narrated by Morgan Freeman, is hugely ambitious in its scope, telling the story of life throughout the whole Phanerozoic Eon. Ancient organisms and environments are painstakingly recreated by the supremely talented Industrial Light and Magic, whilst modern natural history scenes add vital context to the story. This show has been worked on for six years, during which time countless papers were read and around 150 different palaeontologists contributed their time and knowledge. The whole production had culture of letting the scientific research dictate scenes, resulting in one of the most accurate on-screen representations of prehistoric life there has ever been. And how do we know all this? Well, our very own team members Tom Fletcher and Dave Marshall have been embedded within the LOOP team since day one! We are therefore in a totally unique position to reveal to you the work that went into this series, from both the production and research side of things. In this unofficial series, we've been granted exclusive access to many of the people responsible for creating LOOP, we explore what it takes to create a palaeontological documentary and we delve deeper into the science with some of the show's academic advisors. Each day, we will be releasing batches of interviews, each relating to a specific episode of LOOP. Image courtesy and copyright of Netflix.

Find the episode webpage at: Episode 35 - Return. In this episode, my terrific guest Drew Hagen joins the show to chat with me about: Billie goats, lawyers, Donald Gennaro, dying by dinosaurs, different types of compy bites, dinosaur accuracy, dinosaur behaviour, hermaphroditism, dilophosaurs, venoms, juvenile triceratops, sharing the podcast with friends and family, the Jungle River raft escape and the waterfall, plotting chance encounters around the park, seeing Jurassic Park for the first time, the Juras-Sick Park-Cast, John Hammond, Crichton writing believable science fiction, John Arnold's backstory, backstories, female leads in Crichton novels, and a viable, believable new interpretation of the velociraptors that makes the eggs out in the park make WAY more sense, and much more! Plus dinosaur news about: A new massopodan sauropodomorph from Trossingen Formation(Germany) hidden as ‘Plateosaurus' for 100 years in the historical Tübingencollection Osteohistology and taphonomy support social aggregation in the early ornithischian dinosaur Lesothosaurus diagnosticus Featuring the music of Snale https://snalerock.bandcamp.com/releases Intro: T-Shirt. Outro: Death of a Dream. The Text: This week's text is Return, spanning from pages 191 – 193. Synopsis: Driving in the gas-powered jeep, Harding, Gennaro and Sattler are impeded by a large, fallen tree. The radios are down, and they can't report the damage back to control. Meanwhile Arnold and Muldoon can't find Nedry, nor the jeep. Discussions surround: Problems with the narration, and the Island Layout. Corrections: Donald Gennaro has a background in investment banking (p. 49), and he may have been the type of lawyer who helps set up Limited Liability Partnerships and articles of incorporation, that sort of stuff. So, not "just a finance lawyer," though it's not entirely specified what types of law he practices. We're told their high-tech clients frequently need capitalization, and Gennaro aided with that, and specifically in the fundraising for InGen (p. 50). And as we were a bit confused on the compy venom, possibly because there is the source text, then the expanded cinematic universe and what's canon in the film ... there's too much to keep straight! In th enovel, on page 26, we're told, the compy venom "seemed to be a neurotoxic poison related to cobra venom, although more primitive in structure." The predator to prey ratio said earlier in the novel (p. 43) is 1:400 based upon African and Indian game park models. For example, 10,000 hadrosaurs, therefore, yield only 25 tyrannosaurs, according to that math. Jurassic Park, has more than one carnivore, and less than 400 total animals, therefore, both sides of that 1:400 ratio, so ... it's WAY out of equilibrium, and the foodweb would surely collapse in a matter of a few feeding cycles, probably in a month or something. The actual ratio is (if you factor out the compys and pterosaurs, because they're not quite preying on the other herbivores) the ratio is 46:175. That's 2 tyrannosaurs, 7 dilophosaurs and 37 raptors preying on the rest of the island - in fact, I might put the compys in the "prey" category as the raptors would probably eat those, especially as meals became more scarce. So that readjusts to 46: 240. Side effects: May cause confusion. Find it on iTunes, on Spotify (click here!) or on Podbean (click here). Thank you!

Heute kommt ein Dino vorbei, der hier bei uns zuhause war. Der Plateosaurus war der erste in Deutschland entdeckte Dinosaurier – und da möchten wir natürlich von Oliver wissen, ob eigentlich jede*r von uns Dinoknochen im Garten ausbuddeln könnte? Woher wissen Paläontologen, welche Knochen zusammengehören? Und haben Dino-Forscher eigentlich auch mal Löcher in der Hose? Wenn du auch eine Frage an Oliver hast, schick uns gerne eine Mail an podcast.dingdongdino@gmail.com

DinoCast - de dinosauriër podcast met Maarten van Rossem en Gijs Rademaker
Plateosaurus heeft geen grote kammen of tanden, maar toch is hij bijzonder! Want dit was één van de allereerste dinosauriërs ooit, één van de eerste planteneters ook, en als je beter kijkt dan zie je het begin van iets heel groots. Letterlijk. Want dit dier is het begin van de reusachtige langnekken die de rest van de dinotijd zouden rondlopen.In alle dinomuseaDe kans is groot dat je nog nooit van Plateosaurus hebt gehoord. En eigenlijk is het raar dat je hem niet kent, want hij staat gewoon in de meeste dino-musea. In Naturalis is het de eerste die je tegenkomt, en hij staat ook in het KBIN in Brussel. Alle reden om méér te weten te komen over deze dino.Dino-evolutieWant, altijd als we het over Tyrannosaurus, Diplodocus of Triceratops dan lijkt het net alsof die dieren plots ‘verschenen zoals ze waren'. In werkelijkheid komen deze dieren natuurlijk voort uit weer andere soorten. In de loop van miljoenen en miljoenen jaren veranderen dieren, botje voor botje, tand voor tand. En in zo'n hele vroege dinosaurus als Plateosaurus, die leefde in het Trias aan.Zuid-DuitslandOm het verhaal te vertellen van Plateosaurus kunnen we natuurlijk het beste afreizen naar de plek waar deze dieren massaal zijn opgegraven. Tussen de heuvels in het zuiden van Duitsland liggen de beroemde steengroeves van Trossingen en Tübingen. Daar worden al meer dan honderd jaar Plateosaurussen uit de rotsgrond gehakt. Gebroken ellebogenEn die werden bijvoorbeeld vervoerd naar het naburige Stuttgart. In het Naturkunde Museum Stuttgart gaan we spreken met paleontoloog Heinrich Mallisson. Hij is wereldwijd één van de grootste kenners van juist dit dier, en hij weet het antwoord op de vraag waarom wetenschappers decennia lang de ellebogen van deze arme dino hebben gebroken. Ook spreken we met de Nederlandse onderzoeker Joep Schaeffer, die (ook in Stuttgart) zich buigt over de oudste Plateosaurusbotten en -documenten die er zijn.

What's a prosauropod? And can large plant-eating dinosaurs evolve from small meat-eating ones? (Spoiler Alert- Yes they can!) Morgan is ready to answer these questions and more when she tells you about the Plateosaurus.
Paleontologům se podařilo popsat téměř kompletní kostru mladého dinosaura, který žil před 220 miliony lety. Byl to býložravec, zařadili ho mezi plateosaury a dostal přezdívku Fabian. Zaujal hlavně tím, že se poměry jednotlivých částí těla rodičům podobal víc než mláďata jiných zvířat.

Fakultät für Geowissenschaften - Digitale Hochschulschriften der LMU
The evolution of the vertebral column is marked by profound morphological changes that have a strong impact on organismal biology. The vital functions of the axial skeleton range from protecting the neural structures through sustaining the body posture to physiological aspects such as breathing. Archosaurs (crocodiles, birds and dinosaurs), as a group, display a striking variety of body plans and vertebral morphologies. This dissertation aims to contribute to the understanding of the pattern and the genetic basis for the evolution of the vertebral column in archosaurs. The transdisciplinary project comprises five chapters. Framed by a general introduction (chapter 1) and the conclusion (chapter 5), the second chapter considers, from a morphofunctional point of view, the question of (1) why differences in the vertebral column evolved. The present thesis revealed a strong link between the digitally simulated flexion pattern of the presacral vertebral column and the axial movements of modern archosaurs during related activities such as feeding and locomotion: this correlation allowed the inference of the feeding range and locomotor options in the extinct archosaur Plateosaurus. This long-necked dinosaur was primarily adapted as mid-level browser, obtaining food that was at or above the horizontal level of its head. There is currently no evidence to unambiguously interpret the locomotion style of Plateosaurus. The morphofunctional analysis supported both a quadrupedal and a bipedal posture. The third chapter addresses, from a molecular biology point of view, the question (2) of how modern taxa develop their vertebral columns. It provides insights into the genetic basis for the embryonic development of the vertebral column in modern archosaurs, which includes the highly conserved Hox genes. The Hox gene expression pattern was detected in the Nile crocodile (Crocodylus niloticus) via whole-mount in situ hybridisation experiments. Hox paralog genes 4 and 5 are expressed in the cervical region of the crocodile. The anterior expression limit of HoxC-6 marks the cervicothoracic transition. The expression of Hox paralog genes 7 and 8 is restricted to the dorsal series. The same Hox genes are expressed along the anteroposterior body axis of crocodiles, chickens and mice, but the pattern of expression is different. The comparative analysis revealed two general processes that are accompanied by evolutionary differences in the axial skeleton: 1) expansion and condensation as well as 2) a shift of genetic activity corresponding to different vertebral counts. The strong association between the anterior limits of the expression of specific Hox genes and the borders between morphological regions of the vertebral axis in a variety of vertebrate species stimulated the work presented in the fourth chapter. It considers the question (3) of whether we can infer that the development of the vertebral column took place in extinct animals. The direct correlation between vertebral Hox code and quantifiable vertebral morphology shows that the genetic code is deducible from vertebral morphology in modern crocodiles, chickens and mice. Applying these findings to the fossil relative Plateosaurus revealed that the hypothetical Hox code for the dinosaur would be generally similar to the crocodilian Hox gene expression pattern, but with the variation that the anterior region is expanded, as in birds. The integrative analysis (morphology, genes and fossils) of the vertebrae greatly enhanced our knowledge of evolutionary processes and provided valuable information about the possible reasons, genetic basis and pattern for evolutionary changes of the vertebral column in extant and extinct archosaurs.
