Sauropod dinosaurs were the largest animals ever to walk the earth, and they represent a substantial portion of vertebrate biomass and biodiversity during the Mesozoic Era. The story of sauropod evolution is told in an extensive fossil record of skeletons and footprints that span the globe and 150 million years of earth history. This generously illustrated volume is the first comprehensive scientific summary of sauropod evolution and paleobiology. The contributors explore sauropod anatomy, detail its variations, and question the myth that life at large size led to evolutionary stagnation and eventual replacement by more "advanced" herbivorous dinosaurs. Chapters address topics such as the evolutionary history and diversity of sauropods; methods for creating three-dimensional reconstructions of their skeletons; questions of sauropod herbivory, tracks, gigantism, locomotion, reproduction, growth rates, and more. This book, together with the recent surge in sauropod discoveries around the world and taxonomic revisions of fragmentary genera, will shed new light on "nature's greatest extravagances." |

Dokument aus dem Jahr 2010 im Fachbereich Biologie - Evolution, Note: -, - (-), Veranstaltung: -, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Dinosaurier von L bis Z werden in dem gleichnamigen Taschenbuch des Wiesbadener Wissenschaftsautors Ernst Probst vorgestellt. Bei jeder Dinosaurier-Gattung erfährt man, worauf deren wissenschaftlicher Name beruht. Es folgen Angaben über die Größe, das zeitliche und geographische Vorkommen, die systematische Stellung und über die wissenschaftliche Erstbeschreibung. „Dinosaurier von L bis Z“ beschreibt die wichtigsten Gattungen der „schrecklichen Echsen von Labocania bis zu Zupaysaurus. Über „Dinosaurier von A bis K“ informiert ein anderer Band. Ernst Probst hat sich durch zahlreiche populärwissenschaftliche Bücher einen Namen gemacht. Bekannte Werke aus seiner Feder sind: „Deutschland in der Urzeit“, „Rekorde der Urzeit“, „Dinosaurier in Deutschland“ (letzterer Titel zusammen mit Raymund Windolf), „Der Ur-Rhein“, „Der Rhein-Elefant“, „Deutschland im Eiszeitalter“, „Der Mosbacher Löwe“ „Höhlenlöwen“, „Säbelzahnkatzen“, „Der Höhlenbär“, „Monstern auf der Spur“, „Nessie“, „Affenmenschen“ und „Seeungeheuer“. |
