Pterosaurs acquired flight "in a burst at their origin," giving scientists new insights into the biological laws of flight ...

A new study using advanced fossil imaging reveals that ancient pterosaurs may have mastered flight almost instantly when they ...

In new research, an international team of researchers used high-resolution 3D imaging techniques, including microCT scanning, to reconstruct brain shapes from more than three dozen species.

“Interestingly, we found that pterosaurs had relatively small brains, comparable in size to those of non-flying dinosaurs and ...

Flight is a rare skill in the animal world. Among vertebrates, it evolved only three times: in bats, birds, and the long-extinct pterosaurs. Pterosaurs were the pioneers, taking to the skies more than ...
