Thought
questions for Hsieh and Lauder (2004)
- for
lab this week
1. Does surface tension play a role in
water-running ability among lizards?
2. What is the primary locomotor challenge when running on
water?
3. How does size affect water running ability?
4. What types of morphological adaptations might basilisks
have that
facilitate their water-running abilities?
Thought questions for
The Thanksgiving Day Dinosaur - for lecture this
week
1. A close evolutionary link between dinosaurs and birds
has been proposed since the 1800s. What scientists have
supported this view?
2. How does the morphology of the fossil species
Archaeopteryx
support the link between
dinosaurs and birds? Be ready to discuss some of the
details of this anatomy.
3. What is the competing hypothesis for bird sister
relationships proposed by Feduccia and Martin? What
evidence do they use to support this view?
4. Confusciusornis
and Sinornis are two Cretaceous birds. What do each of
these specimens suggest about the evolution of the bird
body? Be ready to discuss specific examples of anatomy in
these two species.
5. What went wrong with the publication of the fossil
bird Archaeoraptor?
We will discuss the Origin of Flight
section next week
