- New postcranial remains belonging to thalassodromine pterosaurs from the Romualdo Formation in the Araripe Basin of Brazil are described by Aires et al. (2014).[144]
- The morphology and evolution of the pelvis in pterosaurs is reviewed by Hyder et al. (2014), who also find significant differences that correlate well with several pterosaur clades.[145]
- Bantim et al. (2014) analyze the skull variation and the shape of the sagittal premaxillary crests in anhanguerid pterosaurs using bidimensional geometric morphometrics.[146]
- Costa et al. (2014) perform the myological reconstruction of the pelvic girdle and hindlimb of the pterosaur species Anhanguera piscator using three-dimensional virtual animation.[147]
- Based on a digital three-dimensional osteological model of the species Anhanguera piscator, Costa et al. (2014) demonstrate that these types pterosaurs were quadrupedal animals.[148]
