Pterosaur Macroevolution

Pterosaur Macroevolution is a theoretical framework within vertebrate paleontology that specifically elucidates large-scale evolutionary patterns, processes, and transformations across geologic time in the extinct clade Pterosauria, distinguishing it from microevolutionary studies by focusing on taxonomic diversification, morphological disparity, and lineage-level dynamics over macroevolutionary timescales.
