The reading and the lecture both discuss about whether or not dinosaurs are endotherms, which are animals with stable body temperatures. While the article argues that dinosaurs are endotherms since they have several characteristics that belong to this type, the lecturer refutes this, stating such characteristics do not prove that dinosaurs possess endothermy.
First of all, the passage claims that dinosaur fossils have been found in Polar Regions, which have severely cold climates. This suggests that the dinosaurs must have been able to maintain warm body temperatures in order to survive in such areas. The lecturer opposes this idea by stating that during the time of the dinosaurs, Polar Regions were actually warm enough for animals to live there for most parts of the year. In addition, she believes that dinosaurs could have migrated to other regions or hibernated during the cold seasons. Thus, the fact that dinosaur fossils were discovered in these regions does not suggest that dinosaurs are endotherms.
Secondly, the reading states that dinosaurs' legs are underneath the body, just like many endortherms. It is noted that since endothermy is connected to efficient running, which required such a position, the legs' position of the dinosaurs show that they are endotherms. The lecturer rebuts this argument by saying that dinousaurs' legs were in that position not for the purpose of increasing running ability. She states that dinosaurs' legs are underneath their bodies so that these animals can evolve to very large size with the legs supporting their weight, which was advantageous in many ways.
Finally, the article argues dinosaurs have the Haversian canals, the bone structures that most endortherms have. The author explains that these bones allow dinosaurs to grow large, which is a common characteristic of endotherms. However, the lecturer posits that dinosaurs' bones also indicated growth rings. According to her, such rings showed that dinosaurs' development in terms of their size was not constant and the dinosaurs stopped developing or grew slowly during months when the temperatures were very cold. Therefore, the point made in the passage was irrelevant.
