Air space proportion in pterosaur limb bones using computed tomography and its implications for previous estimates of pneumaticity.
Air Space Proportion (ASP) is a measure of how much air is present within a bone, which allows for a quantifiable comparison of pneumaticity between specimens and species. Measured from zero to one, higher ASP means more air and less bone. Conventionally, it is estimated from measurements of the int...
