Bighorn Basin Paleontology: How the Largest of the Largest Dinosaurs Came to Be
The long-necked dinosaurs known as sauropods are by far the biggest land animals ever to walk the earth, rivaled in size only by the largest whales today. What led to the exceptional size of the sauropods? Where, when, and how did their titanic sizes evolve, and how did sauropods grow? And why haven’t other groups of reptiles, mammals, or birds evolved such immense sizes? These questions will be answered with the ever-growing fossil record and the field of paleo-histology, which is the science of studying bones and other tissues under the microscope.
Dr. Michael D’Emic is a paleontologist and Associate Professor at Adelphi University in New York. He earned his doctorate at the University of Michigan studying the evolution of long-necked dinosaurs. His research takes him around the world to visit museums and excavate fossils. He has been excavating fossils in the Bighorn Basin with students and colleagues since 2007.
Mike has published numerous articles on dinosaur evolution, including a recent cover article for Scientific American. When not working, Mike enjoys hiking in New York’s Catskill Mountains with his wife and daughter.

Corvids and Conifers: The unusual case of the Pinyon Jay
zhlédnutí 174Před 5 měsíci
Intended as an insult, the expression “bird brain” is generally used to refer to someone with limited intelligence. But are birds really that simple-minded? Hardly! This expression is a disservice to this incredible and diverse class of organisms. The pinyon jay (Gymnorhinus cyanocephalus) belongs to a particularly intelligent group of birds comprising the Corvidae family, which includes crows,...

Great Grey Owls and the Subnivean
zhlédnutí 123Před 5 měsíci
Red foxes are one thing, but with their silent flight, Great Grey Owls pose yet another threat to mice, voles, and shrews of the ephemeral subnivean zone. Learn how these magnificent owls hunt their prey during winter and how you can look for traces of predation on the snowy landscape.
Canids and the Subnivean Zone
zhlédnutí 50Před 5 měsíci
While mice, voles, and shrews live inside the insulated subnivean zone, predators hunt them from above. Canids or members of the dog family are especially notable. Amongst them, the most iconic is perhaps the red fox (Vulpes vulpes). Learn what adaptations help this canid hunt prey it can't see!
Who lives in the Subnivean Zone?
zhlédnutí 77Před 5 měsíci
Now that we know the subnivean zone is an ephemeral ecosystem that forms during the winter when there is at least 6-8 inches of snowfall, let's look at who lives here.
What is the Subnivean Zone?
zhlédnutí 111Před 5 měsíci
In winter, some animals migrate, put on more insulation, or hibernate. Others, take to an area referred to as the subnivean zone. Join us to learn what the subnivean zone is and how it forms.

David Haines Presents Golden Eagle Research in Yellowstone National Park
Thank-you for explaining the ecology of the Whitebark Pine and white pine blister rust. I just finished watching a Parks Canada's very recent (Alberta/British Columbia Rockies) blog on Parks Canada's progress in planting Whitebark seedlings that had been germinating in-vitro, (I guess?) after seed harvesting in-situ. Whitebark Pine is one of my favourite conifers. Thank you for the depth.
How can we get in contact with Mr. Mionczynski?
Wow. Really enjoyed thank you
What a wonderful presentation.
Incredible information . Thank you
I need some of this herb , antimicrobial , wild parsley .
A brilliant man.
Thank you Doug Smith
this is wonderful presentation, protect North America's wildlife, protect habitat, the era of extirpation is over
long live the mighty Cougar, bounced back on it's own after achieving game status from the bounty era
Thank you Dr. Smith. I am learning about the Wolves. I will purchase your book. The hunters in your video clips remind me that all the hunters are one thing in common. After hunt animals, took proud pictures with big smiles and showcase bloody dead animal bodies with rifles/arrows. Enjoy kill/ watch dying animals. Sick people.
Of course paleo Indians caucasian Hebrew Israelites 10 lost tribes here rest of you is bastards that followed Ephraim to the promise land and God going pluck you off our land. SOON
if humans drove mamoths to extinction, explain me why ALL the other megafauna, including the big dangerous predators went as well ?
Just think for a second that the extinction is not because of hunting but a catastrophic event. Possibly many events that changed the environment. There is a story missing.
Wow totally ignoring all the evidence against clovis first ... Like no clovis style points or technology in the Siberia/ land bridge area and new sites dated 40000 bp ? 😂😂😂
Sticking with Clovis first huh?......
Yup, him and CV Haynes are die hard Clovis First cultists.
@@squatch545 I have a hard time thumbs-up on Clovis first Smitty....
I have found Paleo period points, knives, and other artifacts in southern NM
Excellent presentation on an important subject most people just have a blank spot on.
Lee st. In Louisville KY a mammoth was found 20 ft down with 9 clovis points
didnt they find a mamoth in california,that had smashed bones to extract the marrow?...a human interaction for shure,...it was dated to over 30,000 yrs.
"First currently known people", saying "first people" sends up instant red flags of skepticism. Professional archaeologists are always claiming they have things pegged down and it only serves to preserve misinformation. Why the aversion to the possibility that people were in the Americas long before the mammoth were gone.
I think the black mat layer is something that must be discussed in a lot more detail since it is found all over the world at approximately the same time period. No doubt the Clovis people killed a lot of animals, but I doubt if they were ever able to kill them all. I think that the only obvious reason for the mass extinctions of the large mammals and the Clovis people almost at exactly the time is some type of extremely large comet or meteor strike. Very likely more than one.
Thanks for this. Dr. Smith a wolf GOAT.
Smith's
That much ochre brought in and spread seems unusual for a campsite so short lived. Is it possible people returned there for rituals, especially if this was when the mammoths were truly almost gone? I realize its an impossible question to answer but I've seen sites where pictographs had been ritually overpainted over long (multigenerational) periods. Nice presentation. Thanks.
Dr. I have found some things here in carbon county I believe u would be very interested in. I can email you describing what found with photos attached.
Thank you for sharing this valuable knowledge.
InstaBlaster...
Yeah no kidding about the fish stories there Dr Smith. Also the wolf conspiracy theories would make Alex Jones blush. CWD is going to be the crash of 29 for the outfitters and hunting guides.
Thanks for recording and uploading this! I was unable to attend, but interested in the topic, so it was nice to have an alternate way of listening to the speaker.
Ann we have discovered that this is a way to reach people that can't always attend our presentations. Thanks for liking us!
