The predatory ecology of Deinonychus and the origin of flapping in birds.

The predatory ecology of Deinonychus and the origin of flapping in birds.

Most non-avian theropod dinosaurs are characterized by fearsome serrated teeth and sharp recurved claws. Interpretation of theropod predatory ecology is typically based on functional morphological analysis of these and other physical features. The notorious hypertrophied 'killing claw' on...
