Exceptional preservation and foot structure reveal ecological transitions and lifestyles of early theropod flyers
M. Pittman, P. R. Bell, et al.
This research delves into the intriguing evolutionary ecology of early theropod flyers, analyzing foot morphology to reveal their diverse lifestyles. Conducted by Michael Pittman and colleagues, it uncovers how Jurassic and Early Cretaceous flyers adapted differently, and surprises us with the unique raptorial adaptations of *Microraptor*, hinting at its significance in ancient ecosystems.
