Periosteal bone growth rates in extant ratites (ostriche and emu). Implications for assessing growth in dinosaurs
Abstract
The first quantitative experimental data on growth dynamics of the primary cortical bone of young ratites demonstrate the following. 1) From hatching to 2 months of age, cortical thickness remains constant, thereby expressing equilibrium between periosteal bone deposition and an endosteal bone resorption. 2) Radial growth rates of the diaphyseal bone cortex are high (10-40 microns.day-1 on average--maximum 80 microns.day-1) in the hindlimb (femur, tibiotarsus and tarsometatarsus). Wing bones are smaller and later developed. They have lower rates of radial osteogenesis (2-14 microns.day-1). 3) High growth rates are linked to densely vascularized primary bone belonging to the reticular or laminar tissue types. Growth rates fall when bone vascular density decreases. These results emphasize the importance of examining a large number of skeletal elements in order to build a precise knowledge of the general relationship between bone growth rate and bone tissue type. They also stress the potential of bone growth rate quantification among extinct tetrapods, including non-avian dinosaurs.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
