Dinosaurs are a diverse group of reptiles that originated in the mid-Triassic and rapidly diversified into all of the large-bodied terrestrial vertebrate ecological niches in the Late Triassic and dominated this landscape for 150 million years. One of the largest controversies surrounding the dinosaurs were whether they were "warm-blooded" (high metabolic endotherms) or "cold-blooded" (low metabolic ectotherms). This study is to determine the thermal physiology in terrrestrial vertebrates, using oxygen isotopes to unlock the thermal physiology of Permian and Triassic terrestrial vertebrates.

恐龙是一个多样化的爬行动物类群，起源于三叠纪中期，并在三叠纪晚期迅速多样化，形成所有大型陆生脊椎动物生态位，并在这片土地上统治了 1.5 亿年。 围绕恐龙的最大争议之一是它们是“温血动物”（高代谢恒温动物）还是“冷血动物”（低代谢变温动物）。 这项研究旨在确定陆生脊椎动物的热生理学，利用氧同位素来解开二叠纪和三叠纪陆生脊椎动物的热生理学。
