DAWNDINOS: ‘Testing the locomotor superiority hypothesis for early dinosaurs’
People: John Hutchinson, Andrew Cuff, Krijn Michel, Peter Bishop, Louise Kermode
“DAWNDINOS” is a five year research project studying the dawn of the age of the dinosaurs, funded by the European Research Council via an Advanced Investigator Grant to Professor Hutchinson. It focusses on form and function and combines evolutionary and biomechanical research that tests how the anatomy of extinct dinosaurs and their relatives (archosaurs; “ruling reptiles”) was related to their movement and behaviour.
