Scientists recreated a dinosaur nest to solve a 70-million-year-old mystery

Did they depend on heat from their surroundings like crocodiles, or did they warm their eggs directly like birds? A new study in Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution explores this question by examining oviraptor nesting behavior and hatching patterns.
