In a 2020 study of early pterosaur interrelationships carried out by Matthew G. Baron, no evidence was found to support the existence of Eopterosauria as an early diverging clade within Pterosauria. Instead, the results of this later analyses suggested that most pterosaurs fall into either
Zambellisauria, with only a small number of taxa falling in a more 'basal' position.[3] The analyses presented by Baron (2020) supported previous hypotheses presented in research that had been published in the previous two years.[4][5]
