Hadrosaur dinosaurs (Ornithischia: Hadrosauridae) were abundant in Late Cretaceous terrestrial environments of North America and Asia. Their derived dental and postcranial specializations for herbivory have led to the suggestion that these dinosaurs were analogous to modern ungulates in lifestyle. Ungulates display a suite of morphological features that are correlated with diet, habitat preference, and sexual dimorphism. In this paper we examine several of these same features in hadrosaurs in order to determine whether they display similar patterns under multivariate analysis. Initial results confirm the resemblances between hadrosaurs and ungulates but suggest that missing data may considerably affect the outcomes of statistical analyses. Using the hadrosaur dataset as a template, we artificially degrade the (previously complete) ungulate datasets and perform the same analyses. Results are consistent with earlier results and provide an opportunity to assess the impact of missing data on the original multivariate structure. Our results support the hypothesis that hadrosaurs were similar to ungulates in patterns of ecomorphology.

Dinozaury kaczodziobe (Ornithischia: Hadrosauridae) były w późnej kredzie pospolite w Ameryce Północnej i Azji. Wyspecjalizowane przystosowania uzębienia i szkieletu pozaczaszkowego pozwoliły wysunąć przypuszczenie, że trybem życia przypominały dzisiejsze ssaki kopytne. Kopytne przejawiają zespół cech morfologicznych skorelowanych z rodzajem pokarmu, preferencjami siedliskowymi i dymorfizmem płciowym. W niniejszej pracy poddano analizie wieloczynnikowej odnośne cechy hadrozaurów, by sprawdzić, czy i u nich występują podobne prawidłowości. Wstępne wyniki potwierdziły podobieństwa między hadrozaurami a kopytnymi, ale wynik analizy statystycznej mógł zostać znacząco zniekształcony przez niekompletność danych dotyczących dinozaurów. Dlatego zestawy danych dotyczące ssaków kopytnych (pierwotnie kompletne) zostały sztucznie zubożone na wzór danych kopalnych i poddane powtórnej analizie. Uzyskane wyniki okazały się zbieżne z rezultatami wstępnymi i pozwoliły oszacować wpływ brakujących danych na pierwotną strukturę wieloczynnikową. Nasza analiza wspiera hipotezę, że hadrozaury były podobne pod względem ekomorfologicznym do ssaków kopytnych.
