Below are a few (quite extensive) summaries about modern topics in dinosaur paleontology.

Dinosaurs' metabolism
The facts for and against warm-bloodedness. Dinosaurs' lifestyles
Discussions about changes in the conceptions we have of dinosaurs' environment, posture, behaviour, etc.

The dinosaur-bird link
Information about the recently discovered extremely birdlike, some feathered theropods, debates on the origin of flight, on the skin of dinosaurs...
Dinosaurs' extinction
The proofs for the existence of an extraterrestrial impact at the end of the Cretaceous, and a discussion about the circumstances of the extinction, together with comments on other hypotheses.
