THE PRESENCE OF AN ORBITOANTORBITAL FENESTRA: FURTHER EVIDENCE OF THE ANUROGNATHID PECULIARITY WITHIN THE PTEROSAURIA [PDF]
, 2022 The anurognathids are peculiar pterosaurs characterized by broad skulls with very short rostra and broadly arched jaws. The presence of distinct or confluent external naris and antorbital fenestra in these pterosaurs has been debated in the last years ...

The Late Jurassic pterosaurs from northern Patagonia, Argentina [PDF]
, 2013 Records of flying Jurassic reptiles are very scarce in the Southern Hemisphere. Upper Jurassic pterosaurs have been discovered in marine Tithonian sediments of the Vaca Muerta Formation, in the Neuquén Basin, Patagonia, Argentina. Only four specimens are

Intraspecific variation in the pterosaur Rhamphorhynchus muensteri—implications for flight and socio-sexual signaling [PDF]
Pterosaurs were the first powered flying vertebrates, with a fossil record that stretches back to about 230 million years before present. Most species are only known from one to three specimens, which are most often fragmentary.

Analyzing Pterosaur Ontogeny and Sexual Dimorphism with Multivariate Allometry [PDF]
, 2016 The relationships of pterosaurs have been previously inferred from observed traits, depositional environments, and phylogenetic associations. A great deal of research has begun to analyze pterosaur ontogeny, mass estimates, wing dynamics, and sexual ...

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 ...

Notário em pterossauros e aves: aspectos evolutivos, ontogenéticos e morfo-funcionais [PDF]
, 2019 O “notário”, também conhecido por “Os Dorsale” é a estrutura formada a partir da fusão de um determinado número de vértebras na região dorsal da coluna, que ocorre de forma independente em dois grupos de vertebrados voadores: pterossauros e aves.
