Se ha propuesto teóricamente que los lacertilios podrían migrar en un gradiente altitudinal; sin embargo, en estas propuestas no se ha considerado a la hipoxia (escasez de oxígeno) como un factor limitante de la migración. …”

Tooth replacement of the filter-feeding pterosaur Forfexopterus and its implications for ecological adaptation by CHANG-FU ZHOU, FENGMIN FAN

“…Reconstruction of Zahnreihen shows an average Z-spacing of 2.02, comparable to that of the simple alternate replacement (Z-spacing = 2) between odd- and even-numbered tooth positions in reptiles. Based on comparisons with Balaenognathus, Ctenochasma, and Pterodaustro, the tooth replacement pattern appears to be varied in ctenochasmatids, and needs to be further studied in the future.…”
