DID dinosaur eggs hatch quickly, like those of birds (which are dinosaurs’ direct descendants), or slowly, like those of modern reptiles (which are dinosaurs’ collateral cousins)? That is the question addressed by Gregory Erickson of Florida State University and his colleagues in a paper just published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. It is pertinent because it touches on the wider matter of just how “reptilian” the dinosaurs actually were. Researchers already know that many were warm-blooded, and that some had insulation in the form of feathers, even though they could not fly. Fast-developing embryos would drive a further wedge between them and their truly reptilian kin.
Czy dinozaury wykluwały się z jajek szybko, tak jak ptaki (ich bezpośredni potomkowie), czy powoli, tak jak obecne gady (drugorzędni kuzyni dinozaurów)? Takie właśnie pytanie zadał sobie Gregory Erickson z Uniwersytetu na Florydzie i jego współpracownicy, w pracy opublikowanej w Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Artykuł okazał się bardzo istotny, ponieważ zajmuje się obszarem bardzo obszernym - mianowicie, jak bardzo ‘gadzie’ były dinozaury. Badacze wiedzą już, że wiele z dinozaurów było stałocieplnych, oraz, że niektóre posiadały upierzenie mimo braku umiejętności latania. Dowód na szybko rozwijające się zarodki mogłyby wbić klin pomiędzy dinozaury a ich gadzich krewnych.

To investigate, Dr Erickson looked at two sets of fossilised dinosaur eggs. The first, from a Mongolian nest (pictured), was laid by Protoceratops andrewsi, a sheep-sized creature that lived 70m years ago. The second, from Canada, was laid by Hypacrosaurus stebingeri—a species contemporary with P. andrewsi that grew to something between the weights of a rhinoceros and an elephant.
W ramach badania, Doktor Erickson przyjrzał się dwóm zestawom skamieniałych jaj dinozaurów. Pierwsze gniazdo znalezione w Mongolii, należy do gatunku Protoceratops andrewsi, stworzeń osiągających rozmiary owcy, które żyły na ziemi ok. 70 milionów lat temu. Drugie gniazdo- znalezione w Kanadzie - należy do osobników gatunku Hypacrosaurus stebingeri, żyjących z tym samym czasie co P. andrewsi i osiągających rozmiary czegoś pomiędzy nosorożcem a słoniem.

In each case the researchers used an X-ray scanner to examine the teeth of embryos found inside the eggs. In cross-section, dinosaur teeth display growth rings, called von Ebner lines, that are reminiscent of the annual growth rings of a tree trunk. In all living species which have von Ebner lines those lines represent a day’s growth. It therefore seems reasonable to believe that this was true for dinosaurs as well.
W obydwu przypadkach badacze prześwietlili jajka, by przyjrzeć się zębom zarodków. W grupie reprezentacyjnej zęby dinozaurów posiadają warstwy, zwane liniami Ebnera, przypominającymi słoje roczne u drzew. U wszystkich żyjących obecnie gatunków posiadających linie Ebnera, warstwy reprezentują wzrost dzienny. Można by więc przypuszczać, że to samo tyczy się również dinozaurów.
