Dinosaur reproduction and parenting
Abstract
Non-avian dinosaur reproductive and parenting behaviors were mostly similar to those of extant archosaurs. Non-avian dinosaurs were probably sexually dimorphic and some may have engaged in hierarchical rituals. Non-avian coelurosaurs (e.g. Troodontidae, Oviraptorosauria) had two active oviducts, each of which produced single eggs on a daily or greater time scale. The eggs of non-coelurosaurian dinosaurs (e.g. Ornithischia, Sauropoda) were incubated in soils, whereas the eggs of non-avian coelurosaurs (e.g. Troodon, Oviraptor) were incubated with a combination of soil and direct parental contact. Parental attention to the young was variable, ranging from protection from predators to possible parental feeding of nest-bound hatchlings. Semi-altricial hadrosaur hatchlings exited their respective nests near the time of their first linear doubling. Some reproductive behaviors, once thought exclusive to Aves, arose first in non-avian dinosaurs. The success of the Dinosauria may be related to reproductive strategies.

Mapping known reproductive behaviors of non-avian dinosaurs on a cladogram revealed that many reproductive traits of birds may have been derived from both archosaurian and dinosaurian ancestors.
“For example, by mapping the known reproductive behaviors of non-avian dinosaurs on a cladogram, including the social behaviors of nest attendance, parental protection, brooding, and communal nesting, Horner (2000) revealed that many of the reproductive traits of birds may have been derived from both their archosaurian and dinosaurian ancestors (see also Varricchio et al. 2008, arguing that”

Reptiles span a wide range of social tendencies, and some have been highly social hundreds of millions of years ago; dinosaurs had complex parental care, communal nesting, and gregarious foraging.
“They span a wide range of social tendencies, and some of them have been highly social even hundreds of millions of years ago; for example, dinosaurs had complex parental care, communal nesting, and gregarious foraging (see, for example, Horner, 2000; Varicchio et al., 2008; Padian et al., 2011; Fiorillo et al., 2014; Pol et al., 2021).”

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.
