Contents:
1. Phylogenetic revision of Chingkankousaurus fragilis, a forgotten tyrannosauroid from the late Cretaceous of China / Stephen L. Brusatte, David W.E. Hone, and Xu Xing -- 2. The case for Nanotyrannus / Peter Larson -- 3. Preliminary analysis of a sub-adult tyrannosaurid skeleton from the Judith River Formation of Petroleum County, Montana / Walter W.

Feet of the fierce (and not so fierce) : pedal proportions in large theropods, other non-avian dinosaurs, and large ground birds / James O. Farlow, Thomas R. Holtz Jr., Trevor H. Worthy, and Ralph E. Chapman -- 6. Relative size of brain and cerebrum in tyrannosaurid dinosaurs : an analysis using brain-endocast quantitative relationships in extant alligators / Grant R. Hurlburt, Ryan C. Ridgley, and Lawrence M. Witmer -- 7. Jane, in the flesh : the state of life-reconstruction in paleoart / Tyler Keillor -- 8. A comparative analysis of reconstructed jaw musculature and mechanics of some large theropods / Ralph E. Molnar -- 9. Tyrannosaurid craniocervical mobility : a preliminary qualitative assessment / Tanya Samman -- 10. Clawing their way to the top : tyrannosaurid pathology and lifestyle / Bruce M. Rothschild -- 11. Brodie abscess involving a tyrannosaur phalanx : imaging and implications / Christopher P. Vittore, MD, and Michael D. Henderson -- 12. Using pollen, leaves, and paleomagnetism to date a juvenile tyrannosaurid in Upper Cretaceous rock / William F. Harrison, Douglas J. Nichols, Michael D. Henderson, and Reed P. Scherer -- 13. The biomechanics of a plausible hunting strategy for Tyrannosaurus rex / David A. Krauss and John M. Robinson -- 14. A closer look at the hypothesis of scavenging vs. predation by Tyrannosaurus rex / Kenneth Carpenter -- 15. New evidence of predation by a large tyrannosaurid / Nate L. Murphy, Kenneth Carpenter, and David Trexler-- Index.
Summary: Tyrannosaurid Paleobiology highlights the far ranging and vital state of current tryannosaurid dinosaur research and discovery, addressing many fundamental questions about the life and habits of tyrannosaurs. Were they predators or scavengers? How smart was T. rex? How fas could tyrannosaurs run? Did they have stereoscopic vision? How did their shapes and habits change with growth? This volume confirms the wealth of new scientific information about these ever - fascinating creatures.

"This volume had its genesis in a conference held in Rockford, Illinois, on September 16-18, 2005, titled 'The Origin, Systematics, and Paleobiology of Tyrannosauridae,' and jointly sponsored by the Burpee Museum of Natural History and Northern Illinois University"--Introduction.
