The University of Manchester team has found that the internal biological structure of pterosaur bones could inspire the ...

The microarchitecture of fossil pterosaur bones could hold the key to lighter, stronger materials for the next generation of ...

The first pterosaurs had a sail-like tensioning system for flying with potentially cumbersome tail vanes, which they could have used for displays, a new study finds.

Pterosaurs also devoted more muscle to the business of flying, and a larger proportion of their body weight, than do birds. Even their brains appear to have evolved for flight, with enlarged lobes ...

But soon, experts settled on the fact that pterosaurs were flying reptiles, distinct from dinosaurs. The first discovered species was named Pterodactylus antiquus, the genus name stemming from the ...

And it terms of size, they pushed the envelope as far as it could go for a flying animal." Like their cousins the dinosaurs, pterosaurs stand out as one of evolution's great success stories.
