maip, cause its the shadow of death that kills with cold wind
citipati, cause its the lord of the funeral pyre (even tho we have oviraptor ^^;)
i can mess around with rex / tarbo ontogeny to get like lythronax and teratophoneus and thanatotheristes thats okay

Until we find good preserved evidence of beak tissue overlapping teeth in some prehistoric animal, I think Wang et al. (2017) is the baseline assumption.

Why does Limusaurus replace its teeth with beak tissue during ontogeny? Why not keep both?

"watching you" is more quotable and deeper, but the image of the sizzling egg is more visceral and, uh, searing.

Humans had eyes long before language. It's ontogeny.

Selection has been strong on ruff males to become big. Today’s ruff males are 70% larger than females nowadays. Growing apart happens during the first week after hatching (at hatching males and females have the same size). See here: nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... 4
Development of intraspecific size variation in black coucals, white‐browed coucals and ruffs from hatching to fledging
Most studies on sexual size dimorphism address proximate and functional questions related to adults, but sexual size dimorphism usually develops during ontogeny and developmental trajectories of sexu....

You hardly ever get to say "ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny." Today's the day!

Interesting article about how the human brain developed from two different systems for monitoring and managing life-critical activity […]

K-Pg大量絶滅を生き延びた新鳥亜綱(Neornithes)のうち、現生種の95%を占める新鳥類(Neoaves)は、絶滅直後の超高速な爆発的放散により、不完全系統分化(ILS)やヘミプラシー、古代の系統間交雑(古網状交雑)が多発し、DNA解析のみでは解けない「硬い多不分岐」を形成しています。
最新ゲノムで提唱されたエレメンタヴェス(Elementaves 元素鳥類)やテルラヴェス(Telluraves 陸鳥類)の妥当性検証に向け、下顎や脳頭骨、耳道構造などの未開拓部位の3D化石データ(micro-CT)や発生学(Ontogeny)を統合した新たな形態行列の構築が提言されています。

This whole gender thing comes from ignorance of genetics and ontogeny plus a mistranslation of the Bible, which recognized 5 to 7 genders, one of which was essentially “we don’t know what it is.” I think we all fit in that category.

Rosen's frame is equivocal about learning systems: "if the adapted system is considered in isolation, its behavior will generally be anticipatory rather than reactive." ofc, humans are riding learning systems as both ontogeny and phylogeny. there must be an evolution of syntax supporting systems.

A new study by Varricchio and @heathcaldwell.bsky.social describes the pelvic and hindlimb anatomy and growth of a North American troodontid dinosaur. The largely consistent anatomy across growth stages constrains intraspecific variation and suggests low developmental plasticity.

Thinks "premature" discoveries are often those that just answer unfashionable questions. Mendel figured out transmission genetics when everyone around him was obsessed with ontogeny, so they didn't really care about his writing when it was published.
