Aktuelle Artikel, die in den DinoThemen behandelt werden
Fast jede Woche wird im Durchschnitt ein neuer Dinosaurier beschrieben. Da ist es schwer up-to-date zu bleiben und nicht jeder hat Zugang zu den wissenschaftlichen Publikationen oder kann die englischen Texte lesen und verstehen. Dafür gibt es aber die DinoThemen, wo Jonas und ich, alle 14 Tage, die neuesten Nachrichten aus der Welt der Dinosaurier-Paläontologie aufarbeiten und in deutscher Sprache erklären. Wer aber trotzdem die originalen wissenschaftlichen Texte nachlesen möchte, der findet hier die Links.
