Use the extant phylogenetic bracket method to test the hypothesis that male coelurosaur dinosaurs were the primary providers of care for eggs and young

What will be an ideal response?


The extant phylogenetic bracket is formed by crocodilians and birds, and it provides a basis for discussion without giving a definitive answer to the question. Biparental care is assumed to be present in all of the extant species of crocodilians and is the familiar mode of parental care for birds. But among paleognathine birds, males provide parental care.
