A paper published Wednesday takes recent research on how mammals move and applies it to dinosaurs. Its conclusions support theories that the massive meat-eaters hunted in packs and opens a window into the ecology of the ancient forests they roamed. “We’re trying to figure out how much energy is going into and flowing through paleo ecosystems,” said <strong>Hans Larsson</strong> of Montreal’s Ď㽶ĘÓƵ, one of the paper’s co-authors.</p></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-published-date field-type-datestamp field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><div class="custom-multi-date"><div class="multi-date first"><span class="label">Published: </span><span class="day">14 </span><span class="month">May </span><span class="year">2020</span></div></div></div></div></div> Thu, 14 May 2020 16:31:45 +0000 webfull 160681 at /channels /channels/channels/news/t-rex-was-champion-walker-super-efficient-lower-speeds-322130 <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>While smaller dinosaurs needed speed, huge predators like T. rex were optimized for energy-efficient walking, according to a <a href="https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0223698">study</a> published in PLOS ONE.</p></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-primary-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><img class="no-float" src="/channels/files/channels/styles/wysiwyg_medium/public/channels/image/t-rex_news_relsease.png?itok=xTjL1TZp" width="160" height="95" alt="" /></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-published-date field-type-datestamp field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><div class="custom-multi-date"><div class="multi-date first"><span class="label">Published: </span><span class="day">13 </span><span class="month">May </span><span class="year">2020</span></div></div></div></div></div> Wed, 13 May 2020 19:00:43 +0000 webfull 160665 at /channels
