Inferring behavioral and ecological aspects of extinct organisms is always a challenging task. When it comes to lineages that still live so far, comparison between extinct groups and their modern analogs can be made under the principles of functional morphology. However, regarding groups that are completely extinct and left no descendants, function must be inferred by other means. Nevert…
Although crocodilians have a conservative morphology, it is known that the lineage has undergone postural changes that led to a transition from a more upright stance to a more sprawled posture, with the forelimbs and hindlimbs becoming more flexed and spread apart in relation to the position of the body. By using two specimens of Araripesuchus gomesii and Simosuchus clarki as models for c…
Crocodyliformes have been known since the Late Triassic and are only represented today bycrocodilians. Despite crocodilians presenting conservative morphology, it is known that the lineage underwent postural changes that led to a transition from a more upright posture to a more sprawled one, with the anterior and posterior limbs more flexed and spread apart in relation to the body positio…

Pterosaurs represent the first group of vertebrates to conquer active flight, presenting a fossil record that extends from the Upper Triassic to the Upper Cretaceous. Although they have been studied for more than 200 years, there are still many controversial issues regarding this group, including their flight, such as the stance assumed by the wings during flight, and the variation of thi…
