The phylogenetic position of the Pterosauria within the Archosauromorpha [PDF]
Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 1996 In recent years the hypothesis that pterosaurs were the major sister-group of dinosaurs and a closely-linked hypothesis that pterosaurs evolved flight from the ground up have gained general acceptance. A cladistic analysis of the Archosauromorpha using characters presented by previous workers results in a single most parsimonious tree with the ...

A new pterosaur (Pterodactyloidea: Azhdarchidae) from the Upper Cretaceous of Morocco [PDF]
, 2010 The Kem Kem beds in South Eastern Morocco contain a rich early Upper (or possibly late Lower) Cretaceous vertebrate assemblage. Fragmentary remains, predominantly teeth and jaw tips, represent several kinds of pterosaur although only one species, the ...

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2021 Amblydectes is a problematic genus proposed more than a century ago for several pterosaur specimens from the Cambridge Greensand. Its problematic nature is due to the fragmentary preservation of the referred specimens, limited to several rostral tips. In

Allometry of the pterosaur wing skeleton [PDF]
, 2012 Pterosaurs are one of only three groups of vertebrates to have evolved flapping flight and the only such group that is extinct. Differences in relative lengths of skeletal elements are known to influence flight mechanics and aerodynamic performance in ...
