Allometric wing growth links parental care to pterosaur giantism
Pterosaurs evolved a broad range of body sizes, from small-bodied early forms with wingspans of mostly 1–2 m to the last-surviving giants with sizes of small airplanes. Since all pterosaurs began life as small hatchlings, giant forms must have attained large adult sizes through new growth strategies...
