❑ APRESENTAÇÃO DA PROVA:

         

Despite its fearsome, Velociraptor-like skull, a 161-million-year-old dinosaur the size of a duck would have been a shining, shimmering and splendid sight to behold — mostly because it sported gleaming, iridescent feathers that were rainbow-colored, a new study finds. Iridescent feathers glistened on the dinosaur’s head, wings and tail, according to an analysis of the shape and structure of the creature’s melanosomes, the parts of cells that contain pigment. “The preservation of this dinosaur is incredible — we were really excited when we realized the level of detail we were able to see on the feathers,” study coresearcher Chad Eliason, said.
          

After discovering its iridescence and noting the unique bony crest on top of the dinosaur’s head, researchers gave it a colorful name — Caihong juji — which is Mandarin for "rainbow with the big crest." C. juji isn’t the first dinosaur on record to have iridescent feathers; Microraptor, a four-winged dinosaur also sported gleaming feathers. But that dinosaur lived about 40 million years after C. juji, so the newly identified dinosaur is by far the oldest dinosaur on record to flaunt iridescent plumage, the researchers said.
         

C. juji is also the oldest animal on record to have asymmetrical feathers, which help modern birds steer while flying. However, unlike modern birds, whose asymmetrical feathers are on their wing tips, C. juji sported these lopsided feathers on its tail. That, combined with the fact that C. juji likely couldn’t fly, led’the researchers to conclude the dinosaur likely used its feathers to attract mates and keep warm. This “bizarre” feature has never been seen before in either dinosaurs or birds, which evolved from dinosaurs, said study coresearcher Xing Xu.

❑ TRADUÇÃO DO TEXTO:

Despite its fearsome, Velociraptor-like skull, a 161-million-year-old dinosaur the size of a duck would have been a shining, shimmering and splendid sight to behold — mostly because it sported gleaming, iridescent feathers that were rainbow-colored, a new study finds.

Apesar do seu crânio temível, semelhante ao do Velociraptor, um dinossauro com 161 milhões de anos, do tamanho de um pato, teria sido uma visão brilhante, cintilante e esplêndida - principalmente porque ostentava penas brilhantes e iridescentes com as cores do arco-íris, segundo um novo estudo.

Iridescent feathers glistened on the dinosaur’s head, wings and tail, according to an analysis of the shape and structure of the creature’s melanosomes, the parts of cells that contain pigment. “The preservation of this dinosaur is incredible — we were really excited when we realized the level of detail we were able to see on the feathers,” study coresearcher Chad Eliason, said.

As penas iridescentes brilhavam na cabeça, nas asas e na cauda do dinossauro, de acordo com uma análise da forma e da estrutura dos melanossomas da criatura, as partes das células que contêm pigmento. "A preservação deste dinossauro é incrível - ficámos muito entusiasmados quando nos apercebemos do nível de detalhe que conseguimos ver nas penas", disse o investigador Chad Eliason.

After discovering its iridescence and noting the unique bony crest on top of the dinosaur’s head, researchers gave it a colorful name — Caihong juji — which is Mandarin for "rainbow with the big crest." C. juji isn’t the first dinosaur on record to have iridescent feathers; Microraptor, a four-winged dinosaur also sported gleaming feathers.

Depois de descobrirem a sua iridescência e notarem a crista óssea única no topo da cabeça do dinossauro, os investigadores deram-lhe um nome colorido - Caihong juji - que significa em mandarim "arco-íris com a grande crista". O C. juji não é o primeiro dinossauro de que há registo a ter penas iridescentes; o Microraptor, um dinossauro de quatro asas, também tinha penas brilhantes.

But that dinosaur lived about 40 million years after C. juji, so the newly identified dinosaur is by far the oldest dinosaur on record to flaunt iridescent plumage, the researchers said.

Mas esse dinossauro viveu cerca de 40 milhões de anos depois do C. juji, pelo que o dinossauro recém-identificado é, de longe, o dinossauro mais antigo de que há registo a exibir plumagem iridescente, disseram os investigadores.

C. juji is also the oldest animal on record to have asymmetrical feathers, which help modern birds steer while flying. However, unlike modern birds, whose asymmetrical feathers are on their wing tips, C. juji sported these lopsided feathers on its tail.

O C. juji é também o animal mais antigo de que há registo a ter penas assimétricas, que ajudam as aves modernas a orientarem-se enquanto voam. No entanto, ao contrário das aves modernas, cujas penas assimétricas se encontram nas pontas das asas, o C. juji ostentava estas penas assimétricas na cauda.

That, combined with the fact that C. juji likely couldn’t fly, led’the researchers to conclude the dinosaur likely used its feathers to attract mates and keep warm. This “bizarre” feature has never been seen before in either dinosaurs or birds, which evolved from dinosaurs, said study coresearcher Xing Xu.

Isto, combinado com o facto de que o C. juji provavelmente não podia voar, levou os investigadores a concluir que o dinossauro provavelmente usava as suas penas para atrair parceiros e manter-se quente. Esta caraterística "bizarra" nunca tinha sido observada nos dinossauros nem nas aves, que evoluíram a partir dos dinossauros, disse o investigador principal do estudo, Xing Xu.
