The 40 pages that link to Pterosaur, each with the reason it gives.

• Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction eventBroader topic: Their loss accompanied the collapse of other large-bodied animal groups.

• BirdCompared with: Pterosaurs flew alongside ancient birds but were not dinosaurs or their ancestors.

• DiapsidBroader topic: Pterosaurs illustrate a specialized flight adaptation among archosaurian diapsids.

• Mary AnningBroader topic: Anning discovered the first pterosaur fossil found outside Germany, later named Dimorphodon.

• Pterosaur flightNarrower topic: Pterosaurs were the animals whose anatomy and behavior enabled this form of flight.

• Pterosaur wingNarrower topic: The wing was a defining anatomical feature of this group.

• K–Pg boundaryRelated: Their disappearance adds another major vertebrate loss to the boundary record.

• Late JurassicRelated: They occupied aerial niches alongside Late Jurassic dinosaurs.

• ArchosaurBroader topic: Pterosaurs evolved powered flight independently within the birdward archosaur branch.

• BatsCompared with: Pterosaurs provide another independent evolutionary origin of vertebrate powered flight.
