Hello all,
I was reviewing the respiratory turbinate issue the
other day in a paleontology class, and came across the article in
Discover magazine entitled, "A Cold, Hard Look at Dinosaurs."
Concerning the section of the article regarding RT's, the researchers seemingly
skipped over a key clade in their analysis of which clade has RT's. This
group is the pterosauromorpha.
Haev any studies been done on whether pterosaurs
have RT's? And, are pterosaurs definitely considered "warm-blooded" (yes,
I am aware of the short comings of that term)?
Thanks in advance for any answers. My
professor will also be interested to hear the replies.
Regards, Demetrios Vital
