Morphology forms the most fundamental level of data in vertebrate palaeontology because it
is through interpretations of morphology that taxa are identified, creating the basis for broad …

Pterosaurs are an extinct group of Mesozoic flying reptiles, whose fossil record extends from
approximately 210 to 66 million years ago. They were integral components of continental …

Pterosaurs, the first vertebrates to evolve active flight, lived between 210 and 66 million
years ago. They were important components of Mesozoic ecosystems, and reconstructing …

Research on the bone histology of extant and extinct animals has a long scientific history
and an accurate description of microstructural tissues is the cornerstone of the field. Ideally …

Competing views exist on the behaviour and lifestyle of pterosaurs during the earliest
phases of life. A 'flap-early'model proposes that hatchlings were capable of independent life …

The Gondwanan pterosaur record is scarce when compared with that of Laurasia and is
reviewed here. The majority of Gondwanan pterosaur remains are derived from South …

Background Rhabdodontid ornithopod dinosaurs are characteristic elements of Late
Cretaceous European vertebrate faunas and were previously collected from lower …

The interest in mammalian palaeohistology has increased dramatically in the last two
decades. Starting in 1849 via descriptive approaches, it has been demonstrated that bone …

Abstract: The first pterosaur bone bed from Brazil was reported in 2014 at the outskirts of the
town Cruzeiro do Oeste, Paraná State, in the Southern region of the country. Here …

Fossil vertebrates from Antarctica are considerably rare, hampering our understanding of the
evolutionary history of the biota from that continent. For several austral summers, the …
