Our new 🦕 paper led by @es-ucl.bsky.social PhD student Sam Beeston shows that pneumaticity extends far into the tail in multiple sauropod dinosaur lineages, including brachiosaurids, suggesting that its evolution was probably complex across the clade: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Why did meat-eating dinosaurs like T. rex evolve such tiny arms? 🦖 A new study led by researchers at @es-ucl.bsky.social and @cam.ac.uk finds that it was down to their strong, powerful heads: www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2026/ma... #Trex #dinosaur #dinosaurs #evolution #NaturalHistory

Why meat-eating dinosaurs like T. rex evolved tiny arms

The evolution of tiny arms in several groups of meat-eating dinosaurs was likely driven by the development of strong, powerful heads, which were used to attack prey, according to a new study led by re...
