Summary

Description
English: "Fig 20. Size disparity of late Maastrichtian pterosaurs and birds.

Maastrichtian pterosaurs are larger than coeval birds in both marine (blue) and terrestrial/freshwater (orange) ecosystems. Wingspan estimates for pterosaurs are from S2 Data. Wingspans for terrestrial birds were made using estimated masses from Longrich et al. [74] and the equation for passeriformes from Norberg [75] or from reconstructions based on fossils [76,77]."
