Their faster growth rates were beneficial because they likely allowed early sexual maturity, Chiappe said. As I read the article, the information is that modern birds have faster growth rates, but delay reproduction for some years. I'm not sure how anyone can reach the conclusion that flying reptiles benefited from early sexual maturity due to their growth rate. Maybe they did. Maybe they didn't. I'm not sure how we can tell.

Not as weird as your “World’s scariest goat” title, but up there.

Hm. The article doesn’t support the headline.

Now, that is one weird headline.
Made me look, though.

Hmm... So, did the pterosaurs merely mate early and retain the sperm for reproduction later in their adult life, or did they lay their eggs and do the whole shebang before full adulthood?
The reason is that either scenario presents different problems from an evolutionary standpoint. They should probably answer these questions before posing wacky theories like this.

Pterosaurs had sex as youths? God, I hope so. The idea of OLD pterosaurs having a flying F-— brings to mind a horrible image.
(Note: will someone post the obligatory photoshopped image of Helen Thomas as a pterosaur?)
