[edit] Endothermia/Body Size?
The article currently implies doubt that this species was endothermic, evidenced by a statement that warm-bloodedness is a disadvantage when combined with a small body size. I'm not a biology expert, but the average body size of modern endothermic mammals and birds seems to indicate that whatever tradeoffs are necessary to maintain both warm-bloodedness and small size are well worth it. --Raphite (talk) 05:38, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
