  3. Dinosaur DNA Yields a Surprise (Livescience.com)
      "Scientists used to think that relatively shorter genomes were associated with flight."

      "But the new finding by Chris Organ of Harvard University and his colleagues complicates this thinking and shows that the shorter genomes of birds originated in saurischian dinosaurs, the group of dinosaurs from which birds evolved and that includes Tyrannosaurus rex. So rather than being a characteristic of birds or flying animals, short genomes should be thought of as a characteristic of dinosaurs, including the killer theropod dinosaurs, he said."

  4. Dinosaur Embryo Fossils Discovered (Scientific American)
      "The oldest fossilized dinosaur embryos yet discovered are revealing tantalizing clues about dinosaur evolution, scientists say. Findings published today in the journal Science indicate that some of the prehistoric creatures started out on four legs before growing into bipedal behemouths. In addition, they further support the notion that newly hatched dinos did not fend for themselves and instead relied on their parents for food and nourishment."
