T恐龙向T rex的进化转变
人人讨厌
鲜为人知的是:出身卑微
T恐龙petite(娇小)
后来的T rex是T恐龙体重的3倍
科学家提出:大气中的二氧化碳水平增长导致T rex暴涨
increased levels of atmospheric CO2——elevated plant productivity——herbivorous dinosaurs——T 恐龙
T恐龙变成巨型的T rex的先决条件
条件1 vs 研究人员的推测, T cold-blooded
maintain a constant body temperature( warm-blooded) 需要unrealistic hunting success& cooling down to avoid overheating
条件2 continent-sized landmasses to sustain population large enouth to avoid extinction
extensive geographic ranges&lower population densities
条件3 extinction of rivals/the hunting of different prey to compete with other large species
部分观点受到质疑,部分观点得到支持
质疑条件1:studies of bone: resemble warmed-blooded mammals>cold-blooded reptiles
质疑条件2:impossible to determine population size
支持条件3:fossil record uphold the prediction——free from competition
strongest support from the rise of T rex |
