My cabbages!
An aurochs has broken into a vegetable garden. While curious kids and domesticated cattle watch, a courageous farmer attempts to chase it away.
This scene takes place in Poland around 1400 AD.

I'm a bit late to the party with these, but here are the newly described Nanotyrannus lancensis and Nanotyrannus lethaeus, friend-shaped as ever!

This exhibit is worse than I could have ever imagined. I actually had a really fun time discovering all the ways it could disappoint me! 😂

in honor of his heroic choice to help Cuomo go down in flames i vote we continue to allow Sliwa to wear his very funny beret
Curtis Sliwa claims to have been offered $10 million, across seven bribes, to drop out of the mayoral race. Last month, he said he’d leave the ballot if “a Mack truck hits me, and I get turned into a speed bump, and they can’t recover me in the I.C.U.”
Inside Curtis Sliwa’s Never-Ending Campaign
The Republican candidate for New York City mayor has been aggressively ramping up his campaign, even if it’s to the benefit of Zohran Mamdani.

lil crop of some birbs.
A bunch of the illustrations were sketches, most of them not in color. But coloring this rougher stuff was actually pretty fun~

I want to thank all my amazing coauthors -especially my mentor Darren Tanke (who first hypothesized the mating hypothesis in 1989 -DARREN, WE DID IT!-), the many institutions that helped me, and the paleoartist Emiliano Troco for the illustrations!

there are MANY "but", "if", and biological implications.
The paper is published in OPEN ACCESS so you can read and give me your thoughts 😀

After this evaluation, we realize that the mating hypothesis was the one explaining the pathological pattern at best.
The mounting male presses on the female tail, causing the vertebral lesions on top of the spine.

Knowing where we were going, we had to be sure. Or, at least, we had to consider EVERY OTHER SCENARIOS to explain what really looked like something related to sexual activity: predation, locomotion stress, strange and particular behavior, herd stepping... all of them were missing soemthing.

This is the condition for the tails we could check, we also have many other vertebrae in the dataset

Apsolutly fascinating paper. Very intresting ecological and behavioural implications for Hadrosaurids as a whole given this seems to be something seen in both Saurolophins and Lambeosaurins. Congrats on Dr Filippo et al.
Also the paper inspired me.

Via Finite Element nalysis, we discover that the spines were stressed by a heavy load coming from above, vertical-to-oblique (around 30-60° degrees).
Combine the fact that in that region there is the cloaca, plus the fact that, in articulated tails, the lesions were spread along many vertebrae...

We analyzed the dataset of pathological caudal vertebrae, noting a statistically significance of lesions in the anterior part of the tail. The spines are similarly broken in many different hadrosaur species from different regions and times. Hence, the cause was an event happening for all of them...

After many years of work, submission, tears and swat, we can finally reveal it - hadrosaurids were likely injuring the female partner during sex.
For many years, many hadrosaur caudal vertebrae are found possessing broken neural spines, healing, and this has puzzled many researchers...
