Product Name
What Bugged the Dinosaurs?: Insects Disease and Death in the Cretaceous (Hardcover)
Product Description

Millions of years ago in the Cretaceous period the mighty Tyrannosaurus rex--with its dagger-like teeth for tearing its prey to ribbons--was undoubtedly the fiercest carnivore to roam the Earth. Yet as What Bugged the Dinosaurs? reveals T. rex was not the only killer. George and Roberta Poinar show how insects--from biting sand flies to disease-causing parasites--dominated life on the planet and played a significant role in the life and death of the dinosaurs. The Poinars bring the age of the dinosaurs marvelously to life. Analyzing exotic insects fossilized in Cretaceous amber at three major deposits in Lebanon Burma and Canada they reconstruct the complex ecology of a hostile prehistoric world inhabited by voracious swarms of insects. The Poinars draw upon tantalizing new evidence from their amazing discoveries of disease-producing vertebrate pathogens in Cretaceous blood-sucking flies as well as intestinal worms and protozoa found in fossilized dinosaur excrement to provide a unique view of how insects infected with malaria leishmania and other pathogens together with intestinal parasites could have devastated dinosaur populations. A scientific adventure story from the authors whose research inspired Jurassic Park What Bugged the Dinosaurs?? offers compelling evidence of how insects directly and indirectly contributed to the dinosaurs demise.
