Synopsis
Righting a 200 year old mistake: Armita Manafzadeh from Brown University talks with us about how her simulations of pterosaurs' range-of-motion demonstrate that the ancient reptiles almost certainly couldn't have flown like most paleontologists have long thought. Her article, "ROM mapping of ligamentous constraints on avian hip mobility: implications for extinct ornithodirans" was published on May 23, 2018 with Kevin Padian in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B - Biological Science.
