Did pterosaurs feed by skimming? Physical modelling and anatomical evaluation of an unusual feeding method.
Similarities between the anatomies of living organisms are often used to draw conclusions regarding the ecology and behaviour of extinct animals. Several pterosaur taxa are postulated to have been skim-feeders based largely on supposed convergences of their jaw anatomy with that of the modern skimmi...
