New reptile shows dinosaurs and pterosaurs evolved among diverse precursors. (bvsalud.org)
Dinosaurs and pterosaurs have remarkable diversity and disparity through most of the Mesozoic Era1-3. (bvsalud.org)
Combining anatomical information of the new species with other dinosaur and pterosaur precursors shows that morphological disparity of precursors resembles that of Triassic pterosaurs and exceeds that of Triassic dinosaurs . (bvsalud.org)
Thus, the 'success' of pterosaurs and dinosaurs was a result of differential survival among a broader pool of ecomorphological variation. (bvsalud.org)
Our results show that the morphological diversity of ornithodirans started to flourish among early-diverging lineages and not only after the origins of dinosaurs and pterosaurs. (bvsalud.org)

The Queensland state authorities welcomed the investigators' report, calling it a blessing for local dinosaur customs. (dailyreuters.com)
Australia is one of the final frontiers for dinosaur discovery and Queensland is quickly establishing itself as the palaeo [species] funding," said Jim Thompson, chief executive of the Queensland Museums Network. (dailyreuters.com)

The dinosaur walked on its hind legs but could drop to all fours and stood nearly 6 feet (about 1.7 meters) high at the hip. (phys.org)
