A new pterosaur from the Middle Jurassic of Skye, Scotland and the early diversification of flying reptiles
ABSTRACT The Middle Jurassic was a critical time in pterosaur evolution, witnessing the
appearance of major morphological innovations that underpinned successive radiations by …

Small, immature pterosaurs from the Cretaceous of Africa: implications for taphonomic bias and palaeocommunity structure in flying reptiles
Pterosaurs reached only modest sizes in the Triassic-Jurassic. By contrast, the Cretaceous
saw a trend toward large to giant size (2 m to> 6 m wingspans), and while small-medium (< …

Allometric analysis sheds light on the systematics and ontogeny of anurognathid pterosaurs
Anurognathids are a clade of non-pterodactyloid pterosaurs with generally conservative
morphology, but specializations as insectivores. They are represented by a disparate …
