This is Round Two of the NERS Stories of the Year Reader's Poll. To reiterate, or for those of you who've joined us late, I am going to select the most interesting stories from this blog over the last year by getting people to vote across a series of nine polls. Each will focus on a different theme and the last one will round-up missed stories and late-comers.
The animal behaviour poll is still going strong and this one will look at palaeontology. Here's your selection:
Breaking the Link - Darwinius revealed as ancestor of nothing
Raptorex shows that T.rex body plan evolved at 100th the size
Dinosaur proteins, cells and blood vessels recovered from Bracyhlophosaurus
Tianyulong - a fuzzy dinosaur that makes the origin of feathers fuzzier
The plague of tyrants - a common bird parasite that infected Tyrannosaurus
What's your favourite palaeontology story of the year?
