Nests9
  • The article establishes how dinosaur egg nesting styles correlate with current crocodile covered nests as well as modern, exposed open-bird nests. (ucalgary.ca)
  • Brooding birds, which incubate their eggs in open nests, tend to have low eggshell porosities compared to crocodiles and megapode bird species that incubate in buried nests," explains Tanaka. (ucalgary.ca)
  • The study's results show that most dinosaurs, including the long-necked sauropods, primitive meat-eating theropods and possibly plant-eating ornithischians, produced low porosity eggshells and therefore, were highly likely to bury their eggs in nests much like their crocodile predecessors. (ucalgary.ca)
  • Advanced theropods like the maniraptorans featured high porosity eggshells, suggesting that they laid and incubated their eggs in open nests in a similar fashion as their most closely related living birds. (ucalgary.ca)
  • The researchers concluded that it was probably not until modern-looking birds that open nests with fully exposed eggs came to be, meaning that there was a shift in the type of nest, and probably incubation style of dinosaurs, during their evolution toward birds. (ucalgary.ca)
  • Because buried nests needed to be built and incubated on the ground, open nesting and brooding may have allowed advanced theropods -including birds - to incubate eggs in a greater diversity of locations and occasionally away from ground predators, potentially contributing to their evolutionary success," says Zelenitsky, referring to birds as the most diverse living species with more than 10,000 unique types. (ucalgary.ca)
  • In view of all the nests brimming over with eager mouths, it is a good thing that deciduous woodlands provide an incredible wealth of food for the birds that live there. (todayinsci.com)

Leeches4
  • The trochilus or trochilos (Greek: τροχίλος, trokhílos = "runner"), sometimes called the crocodile bird, is a legendary bird, first described by Herodotus (c. 440 BC), and later by Aristotle, Pliny, and Aelian, which was supposed to have enjoyed a symbiotic relationship with the Nile crocodile: it was said to pick leeches from the crocodile's throat by Herodotus, and to pick the crocodile's teeth by Aristotle. (wikipedia.org)
  • hence it happens that, while all the other birds and beasts avoid it, with the trochilus it lives at peace, since it owes much to that bird: for the crocodile, when he leaves the water and comes out upon the land, is in the habit of lying with his mouth wide open, facing the western breeze: at such times the trochilus goes into his mouth and devours the leeches. (wikipedia.org)
  • feeling the need of the trochiIus as "doctor", it swims to the bank and lies there with its jaws agape, whereupon the bird enters and removes the leeches, while the crocodile remains perfectly still so as not to harm it. (wikipedia.org)

Plover8
  • The story that the trochilus cleans the mouth of the crocodile is considered a fable, but many travellers and naturalists have been reluctant to reject it, and there have been attempts to identify the trochilus with several species of plover, lapwing and sandpiper, and to explain its curious behaviour. (wikipedia.org)
  • Topsell says that the crocodile reopens its mouth because the bird carries sharp thorns on its head which prick the crocodile's palate, and Andrew Leith Adams says that the reminder is conveyed to the crocodile by the horny spurs of the bird, which Alfred Brehm identified as the Egyptian plover. (wikipedia.org)
