An early juvenile of Kunpengopterus sinensis (Pterosauria) from the Late Jurassic in China [PDF]

open access: yesAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2021
The Wukongopteridae is a transitional clade between the long- and short-tailed pterosaur groups, and at least ten specimens have been studied without a determined juvenile specimen. Here, we described a small-sized Kunpengopterus sinensis, less than half the size of the holotype, which is the smallest specimen in wukongopterids.

Relative skull size evolution in Mesozoic archosauromorphs: potential drivers and morphological uniqueness of erythrosuchid archosauriforms

open access: yesPalaeontology, Volume 65, Issue 3, May/June 2022., 2022
Abstract Little is known about the large‐scale evolutionary patterns of skull size relative to body size, and the possible drivers behind these patterns, in Archosauromorpha. For example, the large skulls of erythrosuchids, a group of non‐archosaurian archosauromorphs from the Early and Middle Triassic, and of theropod dinosaurs are regarded as ...

Whole‐body endothermy: ancient, homologous and widespread among the ancestors of mammals, birds and crocodylians

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 97, Issue 2, Page 766-801, April 2022., 2022
ABSTRACT The whole‐body (tachymetabolic) endothermy seen in modern birds and mammals is long held to have evolved independently in each group, a reasonable assumption when it was believed that its earliest appearances in birds and mammals arose many millions of years apart.

The first pterosaur pelvic material from the Dinosaur Park Formation (Campanian) and implications for azhdarchid locomotion

open access: yesFACETS, 2017
A partial pterosaur pelvis from the Campanian Dinosaur Park Formation of Canada adds to our knowledge of Late Cretaceous pterosaurs. The pelvis is tentatively referred to Azhdarchidae and represents the first pelvic material from a North American ...

A specimen of Rhamphorhynchus with soft tissue preservation, stomach contents and a putative coprolite [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2015
Despite being known for nearly two centuries, new specimens of the derived non-pterodactyloid pterosaur Rhamphorhynchus continue to be discovered and reveal new information about their anatomy and palaeobiology.

A Reappraisal of the Purported Gastric Pellet with Pterosaurian Bones from the Upper Triassic of Italy. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
A small accumulation of bones from the Norian (Upper Triassic) of the Seazza Brook Valley (Carnic Prealps, Northern Italy) was originally (1989) identified as a gastric pellet made of pterosaur skeletal elements.

Oldest azhdarchid (Pterosauria) record from South America

open access: yesRevista del Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales, 2023
Abstract Azhdarchid pterosaurs in South America were hitherto represented by two taxa coming from Coniacian-Santonian and Maastrichtian beds, of the Mendoza and Río Negro provinces, respectively, in Argentina. Here we report an incomplete pterosaur cervical vertebra from Cenomanian beds exposed at the east shore of Ezequiel Ramos Mexía Reservoir at the
