A Nature research paper suggests that some pterosaurs possessed feathers with varied pigmentation that were used for both thermoregulation and display

This work was funded by a Fonds National pour la Recherche Scientifique FRIA grant , an Irish Research Council Government of Ireland Postdoctoral Fellowship awarded to A.C. and an ERC Starting Grant H2020-2014-StG-637691-ANICOLEVO and an ERC Consolidator Grant H2020-2020-CoG-101003293-PALAEOCHEM awarded to M.N. We thank M.

, Z. Yang for providing raw melanosome measurements used to compare melanosome geometry in pterosaurs and J. Cillis for assistance with SEM. MCT.R.1884 was photographed by T. Hubin .
