Da Inglese a Tedesco: Dinosaurs may have been doting parents
Testo originale - Inglese Dinosaurs may have been doting parents
A fossil of one adult Psittacosaurus dinosaur surrounded by 34 juveniles has provided the most compelling evidence to date that dinosaurs raised their young after hatching.
Previously discovered fossils of teeth found at the same site in China from Allosaurus dinosaurs of differing ages, and fossils of groups of young Maiasaura have hinted that dinosaurs may have indulged in parental care.
But what makes this 125-million-year old fossil find from Liaoning province more convincing is that the skeletons are complete, and crowded together in life-like positions with their legs tucked under and heads raised, indicating that they were buried alive rather than swept together after death.
Psittacosaurus are herbivorous dinosaurs, about one metre long, with parrot-like beaks and cheek horns. The newly unearthed juveniles are about a quarter of the length of the adult, and far bigger than hatchlings. This suggests that the adult had tended them for some time, says David Varricchio of Montana State University in Bozeman, US, who examined the ancient remains with Jinyuan Liu of the Dalian Natural History Museum, China, and colleagues.
“It looks like a creche,” says Chris Daniels, an evolutionary biologist at Adelaide University, Australia. “It would be unlikely that one or two adults could provide food for so many youngsters.”
Caring for young in creches is a type of parenting behaviour seen in animals such as Emperor penguins in which a few adults tend chicks from several families, while the parents collect food.
Birds and crocodilians, which also invest time and effort raising their offspring, share a common ancestor with dinosaurs, so the new finding suggests that sophisticated parenting is an ancient behaviour that evolved just once in these animals, rather than twice.

Traduzione - Tedesco Waren Dinosaurier fürsorgliche Eltern ?
Das Fossil eines erwachsenen, von 34 Jungtieren umgebenen Psittacosaurus hat den bis heute überzeugendsten Beweis dafür geliefert, dass Dinosaurier ihre Jungen nach dem Schlüpfen aufgezogen haben.
Früher entdeckte Fossilien von Zähnen von Allosauriern unterschiedlichen Alters, die an derselben Stätte in China gefunden wurden, und Fossilien von Gruppen junger Maiasaurier haben darauf hingewiesen, dass Dinosaurier sich vielleicht elterlicher Fürsorge hingegeben haben.
Der Fund dieses 125 Millionen Jahre alten Fossils aus der Provinz Liaoning ist jedoch überzeugender, da die Skelette vollständig sind und in lebensechten Positionen zusammengedrängt, mit unter den Körper gezogenen Beinen und erhobenen Köpfen, was darauf hindeutet, dass sie eher lebendig begraben wurden als nach dem Tod zusammengeschwemmt.
Psittacosaurier sind Pflanzenfresser, ungefähr einen Meter lang, mit papageienähnlichen Schnäbeln und Wangenhörnern. Die kürzlich ausgegrabenen Jungtiere haben ungefähr ein Viertel der Länge des erwachsenen Tiers und sind viel größer als frisch geschlüpfte. Das lässt darauf schließen, dass das erwachsene Tier sich geraume Zeit um sie gekümmert hat, so die Meinung von David Varricchio von der Montana State University in Bozeman in den USA, der die Funde zusammen mit Jinyuan Liu vom Dalian Naturkundemuseum in China und Kollegen untersucht hat.
“Es sieht aus wie ein Kindergarten“, sagt Chris Daniels, Evolutionsbiologe an der Adelaide University in Australien. „Es wäre unwahrscheinlich, dass ein oder zwei erwachsene Tiere so viele Junge mit Nahrung versorgen könnten.“
Die Jungen in Kindergärten zu betreuen ist eine elterliche Verhaltensweise, die von Tieren wie dem Kaiserpinguin bekannt ist und wo ein paar erwachsene Tiere sich um Küken von mehreren Familien kümmern, während die Eltern auf Nahrungssuche sind.
Vögel und Krokodilartige, die ebenfalls Zeit und Mühe in die Aufzucht ihrer Nachkommen investieren, stammen vom gleichen Vorfahr ab wie die Dinosaurier, daher legt der neue Fund nahe, dass hoch entwickelte elterliche Fürsorge eine sehr alte Verhaltensweise ist, die sich im Laufe der Evolution wahrscheinlich nur einmal und nicht zweimal in diesen Tieren entwickelt hat.
