Albian

The Albian is both an age of the geologic timescale and a stage in the stratigraphic column.

Alexander Kellner

Alexander Wilhelm Armin Kellner (born September 26, 1961) is a Brazilian geologist and paleontologist who is a leading expert in the field of studying pterosaurs.

Apomorphy and synapomorphy

In phylogenetics, an apomorphy (or derived trait) is a novel character or character state that has evolved from its ancestral form (or plesiomorphy).

See Dsungaripteridae and Apomorphy and synapomorphy

Asia

Asia is the largest continent in the world by both land area and population.

See Dsungaripteridae and Asia

Azhdarchidae (from the Persian word azhdar, اژدر, a dragon-like creature in Persian mythology) is a family of pterosaurs known primarily from the Late Cretaceous Period, though an isolated vertebra apparently from an azhdarchid is known from the Early Cretaceous as well (late Berriasian age, about 140 million years ago). Dsungaripteridae and Azhdarchidae are pterosaur families.

Azhdarchoidea

Azhdarchoidea (or azhdarchoids) is a group of pterosaurs within the suborder Pterodactyloidea, more specifically within the group Ornithocheiroidea.

Chaoyangopteridae

Chaoyangopteridae (or chaoyangopterids) is a family of pterosaurs within the larger group Azhdarchoidea. Dsungaripteridae and Chaoyangopteridae are early Cretaceous extinctions and pterosaur families.

Clade

In biological phylogenetics, a clade, also known as a monophyletic group or natural group, is a grouping of organisms that are monophyletic – that is, composed of a common ancestor and all its lineal descendants – on a phylogenetic tree.

See Dsungaripteridae and Clade

Cladogram

A cladogram (from Greek clados "branch" and gramma "character") is a diagram used in cladistics to show relations among organisms.

See Dsungaripteridae and Cladogram

Common descent

Common descent is a concept in evolutionary biology applicable when one species is the ancestor of two or more species later in time.

See Dsungaripteridae and Common descent

Domeykodactylus

Domeykodactylus is an extinct genus of dsungaripterid pterosaur from the Early Cretaceous (Berriasian-Albian)-age Santa Ana Formation at Quebrada de la Carreta in Antofagasta, Chile. Dsungaripteridae and Domeykodactylus are dsungaripterids.

Durophagy

Durophagy is the eating behavior of animals that consume hard-shelled or exoskeleton-bearing organisms, such as corals, shelled mollusks, or crabs.
