Fig. 2 | Results of phylogenetic and biogeographical analyses. a, Time- calibrated reduced strict consensus tree depicting the phylogenetic position of V.gassenae gen.et sp. nov.and other pterosauromorphs,and their estimated biogeographic history. Absolute bootstrap frequencies (left) and Bremer support values (right) are indicated on each branch. b, Geographical distribution of lagerpetids during the Middle to Late Triassic.Arrows indicate dispersion events. c, Life reconstruction of V.gassenae gen. et sp. nov.by Caio Fantini.d, Biplot of accumulated amount of latitudinal dispersion versus time for Pan-Aves during the Triassic.The pterosauromorph silhouette was adapted from ref.10 (CC BY 4.0; https://creativecommons.org/licenses/ by/4.0/).
