About migration hypothesis
The reading and the lecture are both about the migration hypothesis of the edmontosaur which lived in cold conditions. The author of the reading provided three arguments that support the theory. The lecturer disagrees. He says that these theories are not convincing.
First, the author of the reading passage claims that since the enormous dinosaurs were herbivore animals, they might have moved to other places to obtain food, because plants cannot grow in cold weather. The lecturer, however, disagrees. He believes that these animals did not need to migrate because the warm climate of the north region created great conditions to support plants' growth. He goes on to say that even in the winter, they could have fed on a lot of nutritious dead plants.
Secondly, according to the reading passage, it states that the evidence found from the body remains of the edmontosaur, which was discovered from the same area, supported the idea that these creatures lived in herds. The lecturer rebuts this argument by saying that animals do not only live in groups for only migration but also for other purposes such as seeking protection from predators. On top of that, he mentions that the modern plant-eater animals that dwell in groups do not migrate.
Finally, the reading passage suggests that the edmontosaur were capable of transmuting in long distances since they were agile creatures. The professor says that even though they were able to migrate long distances, the juvenile creatures of the group were not physically capable to follow the herd. So, there is no way they survived on their own.
The author and the lecturer both have conflicting views about the migration theory.
