摘要

Significant progress has been made in recent years in the studies of various groups of the Jehol Biota, particularly concerning the origin of birds and their flight as well as the evolution of Early Cretaceous birds, dinosaurs, mammals, insects and flowering plants. As a result, the Jehol Biota has become well known to both the scientific community and the public. The studies on the Jehol Biota also revealed the patterns and processes of the evolutionary radiations of many major groups of Early Cretaceous animals and plants, such as the earliest known radiation of angiosperms and birds, early differentiation of mammals and many Cretaceous dinosaurian groups. Notably, the radiations of the Jehol vertebrates share some similar patterns attributable to the particular environmental background. For instance, the Jehol vertebrate radiations are highlighted by the presence of abundant arboreal adaptations and herbivorous forms, thus closely linked to the forest environments. In addition, the differentiation of habitats and diets is also characteristic of the evolutionary radiations of pterosaurs, dinosaurs, birds and mammals in the Jehol Biota.The pterosaur radiation in the Jehol Biota was dominated by the short-tailed pterodactyloid pterosaurs. The Yixian Formation and the overlying Jiufotang Formation represent the two successive stages of the radiation of the Jehol pterosaurs.these pterosaurs all possessed both arboreal adaptations and strong flying capability, Except a few insectivorous forms, most of them fed on fishes or other aquatic animals. Conceivably, the Jehol pterosaurs mainly lived in the forest near the freshwater lakes.
