Fossil evidence reveals the development of the brain structures that enabled pterosaurs, the earliest flying vertebrates, to achieve powered flight. Ohio University researchers found that these dinosaur-era flying reptiles developed an evolutionary pathway independent of that observed in birds. The discovery came with the find of Ixalerpeton, a small lagerpetid archosaur and a close relative of pterosaurs, unearthed from 233-million-year-old rocks in Brazil. Contrary to the long-held assumption that flight requires major brain enlargement, the analysis showed that pterosaurs, despite being masterful flyers, retained notably modest brains — far smaller than...
