Biological 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.

Pterodactylus scolopaciceps Meyer, 1860 (Pterosauria, Pterodactyloidea) from the Upper Jurassic of Bavaria, Germany:the problem of Cryptic Pterosaur Taxa in early ontogeny [PDF]
, 2014 The taxonomy of the Late Jurassic pterodactyloid pterosaur Pterodactylus scolopaciceps Meyer, 1860 from the Solnhofen Limestone Formation of Bavaria, Germany is reviewed. Its nomenclatural history is long and complex, having been synonymised with both P.

Oldest azhdarchid (Pterosauria) record from South America
Revista 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

The ankle joint of Pterodaustro guinazui [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica PolonicaThe hindlimb of pterosaurs has been much less studied than the pterosaur wing. However, it is relevant to understand the evolution, phylogeny and ecology of these animals.

Variable preservation potential and richness in the fossil record of vertebrates
Palaeontology, Volume 63, Issue 2, Page 313-329, March 2020., 2020 Abstract Variation in preservation and sampling probability clouds our estimates of past biodiversity. The most extreme examples are Lagerstätten faunas and floras. Although such deposits provide a wealth of information and represent true richness better than other deposits, they can create misleading diversity peaks because of their species richness ...
