What Hans lacks in size and strength, he makes up for in smarts. The only problem is that his brilliance is often clouded by his accident-prone, erratic manner and man-chid priorities. Knowing that he can get lost in his work and push things too far, Hans lives by a set of rules. These help guide his actions and what he believes in. Without them, he could easily follow the same dark path of his brother, Jack. Think of Matt Smith’s 11th Doctor (Doctor Who).

She’s a quick thinker, cool under pressure, and will crack a joke any time or place. Annie also has a tendency to avoid her own personal problems and dodges the obligations of burgeoning adulthood.

  • Re-Evaluation of the Haarlem Archaeopteryx and the Radiation of Maniraptoran Theropod Dinosaurs Christian Foth1,3 and Oliver W
    Foth and Rauhut BMC Evolutionary Biology (2017) 17:236 DOI 10.1186/s12862-017-1076-y RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Re-evaluation of the Haarlem Archaeopteryx and the radiation of maniraptoran theropod dinosaurs Christian Foth1,3 and Oliver W. M. Rauhut2* Abstract Background: Archaeopteryx is an iconic fossil that has long been pivotal for our understanding of the origin of birds. Remains of this important taxon have only been found in the Late Jurassic lithographic limestones of Bavaria, Germany. Twelve skeletal specimens are reported so far. Archaeopteryx was long the only pre-Cretaceous paravian theropod known, but recent discoveries from the Tiaojishan Formation, China, yielded a remarkable diversity of this clade, including the possibly oldest and most basal known clade of avialan, here named Anchiornithidae. However, Archaeopteryx remains the only Jurassic paravian theropod based on diagnostic material reported outside China. Results: Re-examination of the incomplete Haarlem Archaeopteryx specimen did not find any diagnostic features of this genus. In contrast, the specimen markedly differs in proportions from other Archaeopteryx specimens and shares two distinct characters with anchiornithids. Phylogenetic analysis confirms it as the first anchiornithid recorded outside the Tiaojushan Formation of China, for which the new generic name Ostromia is proposed here. Conclusions: In combination with a biogeographic analysis of coelurosaurian theropods and palaeogeographic and stratigraphic data, our results indicate an explosive radiation of maniraptoran coelurosaurs probably in isolation in eastern Asia in the late Middle Jurassic and a rapid, at least Laurasian dispersal of the different subclades in the Late Jurassic. Small body size and, possibly, a multiple origin of flight capabilities enhanced dispersal capabilities of paravian theropods and might thus have been crucial for their evolutionary success.

    springer.com Earth Sciences : Paleontology Agnolin, Federico, Novas, Fernando E. Avian Ancestors A Review of the Phylogenetic Relationships of the Theropods Unenlagiidae, Microraptoria, Anchiornis and Scansoriopterygidae Although consensus exists among researchers that birds evolved from coelurosaurian theropods, paleontologists still debate the identification of the group of coelurosaurians that most closely approaches the common ancestor of birds. The last 20 years witnessed the discovery of a wide array of avian-like theropods that has considerably amplified the anatomical disparity among deinonychosaurians, some of which resemble Archaeopteryx more than Deinonychus. Among these newly discovered theropods that show remarkable bird-like characteristics are the four-winged theropods Microraptor and Anchiornis, and the unenlagiids Unenlagia, Buitreraptor, and Rahonavis. A bizarre group of minute-sized coelurosaurs, the Scansoriopterygidae, also exhibits some avian similarities that lead some authors to interpret them as more closely related to birds than other dinosaurs. With the aim to explore the phylogenetic relationships of these coelurosaurians and birds, we merged recently published Springer integrative databases, resulting in significant changes in the topological distribution of taxa 2013, IX, 96 p. 18 illus., 6 within Paraves.

  • Chapter 8 Functional Morphology of the Oviraptorosaurian and Scansoriopterygid Skull
    Chapter 8 Functional Morphology of the Oviraptorosaurian and Scansoriopterygid Skull WAISUM MA,1 MICHAEL PITTMAN,2 STEPHAN LAUTENSCHLAGER,1 LUKE E. MEADE,1 AND XING XU3 ABSTRACT Oviraptorosauria and Scansoriopterygidae are theropod clades that include members suggested to have partially or fully herbivorous diets. Obligate herbivory and carnivory are two ends of the spectrum of dietary habits along which it is unclear how diet within these two clades might have varied. Clarifying their diet is important as it helps understanding of dietary evolution close to the dinosaur-bird transition. Here, diets are investigated by conventional comparative anatomy, as well as measuring mandibular characteristics that are plausibly indicative of the animal’s feeding habit, with reference to modern herbivores that may also have nonherbivorous ancestry. In general, the skulls of scansoriopterygids appear less adapted to herbivory compared with those of oviraptorids because they have a lower dorsoventral height, a smaller lateral temporal fenestra, and a smaller jaw-closing mechanical advantage and they lack a tall coronoid process prominence. The results show that oviraptorid mandibles are more adapted to herbivory than those of caenagnathids, early- diverging oviraptorosaurians and scansoriopterygids. It is notable that some caenagnathids possess features like an extremely small articular offset, and low average mandibular height may imply a more carnivorous diet than the higher ones of other oviraptorosaurians. Our study provides a new perspective to evaluate different hypotheses on the diets of scansoriopterygids and oviraptorosauri- ans, and demonstrates the high dietary complexity among early-diverging pennaraptorans. INTRODUCTION Epidendrosaurus ninchengensis (Zhang et al., 2002), Epidexipteryx hui (Zhang et al., 2008) and Yi qi (Xu Scansoriopterygidae is a clade of theropod et al., 2015).

Although this group has been frequently considered as deeply nested within Deinonychosauria and Dromaeosauridae, most of the features supporting this interpretation are conflictive, at least. Modification of integrative databases, such as that recently published by Hu et al. (2009), produces significant changes in the topological distribution of taxa within Deinonychosauria, depicting unenlagiids outside this clade. Our analysis retrieves, in contrast, a monophyletic Avialae formed by Unenlagiidae plus Aves. Key words: Gondwana, Deinonychosauria, Dromaeosauridae, Unenlagiidae, Avialae. INTRODUCTION Until recently, the deinonychosaurian fossil record has been geographically restricted to the Northern Hemisphere (Norell and Makovicky 2004), but recent discoveries demonstrated that they were also present and highly diversified in the Southern landmasses, suggesting that an important adaptive radiation took place in Gondwana during the Cretaceous. Gondwanan dromaeosaurids have been documented from Turonian through Maastrichtian beds of Argentina (Makovicky et al.

    From: Reviews and Criticism of Vietnam War Theatrical and Television Dramas (http://www.lasalle.edu/library/vietnam/FilmIndex/home.htm) compiled by John K. McAskill, La Salle University ([email protected]) S7274 STAR TREK (9/8/1966-9/9/1969) [TV SERIES] Series summary: Science fiction series set in the 22nd and 23rd centuries following the voyages of the starship U.S.S. Enterprise, representing the United Federation of Planets, as it explores the universe seeking new life forms, new worlds, and new civilizations. A number of episodes were written as allegories for by current events on the 1960s Earth, including the Vietnam War. City on the edge of forever (4/6/1967) Credits: director, Joseph Pevney ; writer, Harlan Ellison. Cast: William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, Joan Collins. Summary: Kirk, Spock and a landing party discover a “time portal” through which McCoy disappears. Something he does in the past annihilates the future in which the Enterprise exists, so Kirk and Spock must follow McCoy back to 1930s New York to set things right. Arriving in 1930, Kirk falls in love with Edith Keeler (Collins), a social worker and pacifist, only to learn that she must die in a traffic accident so as not to change the future they know. Spock speculates that if Edith had lived, her pacifist philosophy could have spread, delayed America's entry into World War II, and changed the outcome. This plot element was added to the script as it was rewritten in 1966 as a conscious reference to the contemporary anti-Vietnam war movement (c.f.
