Odhad populace T-Rex\u016f: V\u011bdeck\u00e1 cesta<\/h2>\n\n

V\u011bdci byli dlouho fascinov\u00e1ni z\u00e1hadn\u00fdm Tyrannosaurem Rexem, impozantn\u00edm pred\u00e1torem, kter\u00fd ob\u00fdval Zemi v obdob\u00ed pozdn\u00ed k\u0159\u00eddy. A\u017e doned\u00e1vna v\u0161ak nem\u011bli jasnou p\u0159edstavu o tom, kolik T-Rex\u016f existovalo v pr\u016fb\u011bhu jejich vl\u00e1dy.<\/p>\n\n

Aby na tuto ot\u00e1zku odpov\u011bd\u011bli, pustili se v\u00fdzkumn\u00edci do pr\u016flomov\u00e9 studie, kter\u00e1 vyu\u017e\u00edvala r\u016fzn\u00e9 v\u011bdeck\u00e9 principy a data. Pou\u017eili Damuth\u016fv z\u00e1kon, kter\u00fd stanovuje korelaci mezi t\u011blesnou hmotnost\u00ed zv\u00ed\u0159ete a hustotou jeho populace.

V\u00fdsledky uk\u00e1zaly, \u017ee p\u0159es svou masivn\u00ed velikost byla populace T-Rex\u016f p\u0159ekvapiv\u011b \u0159\u00eddk\u00e1. V dan\u00e9m \u010dase se odhadovan\u00e1 populace pohybovala kolem 20 000 dosp\u011bl\u00fdch jedinc\u016f, kte\u0159\u00ed byli rozm\u00edst\u011bni na rozs\u00e1hl\u00e9m \u00fazem\u00ed o rozloze 888 000 \u010dtvere\u010dn\u00edch mil. To znamen\u00e1, \u017ee pouze asi dva T-Rexov\u00e9 by ob\u00fdvali oblast o velikosti Washingtonu, D.C., co\u017e zd\u016fraz\u0148uje n\u00edzkou hustotu populace tohoto druhu.<\/p>\n\n

Tato studie nejen\u017ee poskytla poznatky o hustot\u011b populace T-Rex\u016f, ale tak\u00e9 objasnila jejich ekologick\u00fd v\u00fdznam.
