(2018) agree with your conclusion that Gansus zheni is more closely related to Iteravis than to the Gansus type species based on shared characters between AGB5841, IVPP V18958, and BMNHC-Ph 1342 and the results of a cladistic analysis. <br /><br />Xia Wang; Jiandong Huang; Yuanchao Hu; Xiaoyu Liu; Jennifer Peteya; Julia A.

My analysis provisionally places Iteravis more basal than Gansus: http://theropoda.blogspot.it/search?updated-max=2014-11-25T20:01:00%2B01:00&max-results=6Andrea Cauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10855060597677361866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248412803814730250.post-81931913868471440272014-12-15T07:02:45.201-08:002014-12-15T07:02:45.201-08:00Good catch.
