Scansoriopterygidae is an extinct family of climbing and gliding maniraptoran dinosaurs. Scansoriopterygids are known from five well-preserved fossils, representing four species, unearthed in the Tiaojishan Formation fossil beds of Liaoning and Hebei, China. Scansoriopteryx heilmanni was the first non-avian dinosaur found that had clear adaptations to an arboreal or semi-arboreal lifestyle–it is that they spent much of their time in trees. Both specimens showed features indicating they were juveniles, which made it difficult to determine their exact relationship to other non-avian dinosaurs and birds, it was not until the description of Epidexipteryx hui in 2008. In 2015, the discovery of another, larger adult specimen belonging to the species Yi qi showed that scansoriopterygids were not only climbers but had adaptations that could have been used for gliding flight; the discovered Ambopteryx proves this. Scansoriopterygids are among the smallest non-avian dinosaurs known; the juvenile specimens of Scansoriopteryx are the size of house sparrows, about 16 cm long, while the adult type specimen of Epidexipteryx is about the size of a pigeon, about 25 cm long.
Scansoriopterygids differentiate from other theropod dinosaurs in part by their long third fingers, which were longer than the first and second digits of the hand. In all other known theropods, the second finger is the longest. At least one species, Yi qi had a long "styliform" bone growing from the wrist, along with the third finger, helped support a bat-like wing membrane used for gliding; this use of a long finger to support a wing membrane is only superficially similar to the wing arrangement in pterosaurs. Other features shared within the group include short and high skulls with down turned lower jaws and large front teeth, long arms. Tail length, varied among scansoriopterygids. Epidexipteryx had a short tail, anchoring long tail feathers, while Scansoriopteryx had a long tail with a short spray of feathers at the tip. All three described scansoripterygid specimens preserve the fossilized traces of feathers covering their bodies. Scansoriopterygidae was created as a family-level taxon by Stephen Czerkas and Yuan Chongxi in 2002.
Some scientists, such as Paul Sereno considered the concept redundant because the group was monotypic, containing only the single genus and species Scansoriopteryx heilmanni. Additionally, the group lacked a phylogenetic definition. However, in 2008 Zhang et al. reported another scansoriopterygid and defined Scansoriopterygidae as a clade comprising most recent common ancestor of Epidexipteryx and Epidendrosaurus plus all its descendants. The exact taxonomic placement of this group was uncertain and controversial; when describing the first validly published specimen in 2002, Czerkas and Yuan proposed that various primitive features of the skeleton showed that scansoriopterygids, along with other maniraptorans and birds, split from other theropods early in dinosaur evolution. However, this interpretation has not been followed by most other researchers. In a 2007 cladistic analysis of relationships among coelurosaurs, Phil Senter found Scansoriopteryx to be the closest dinosaurian relative of avian birds, a member of the clade Avialae.
This view was supported by a second phylogenetic analysis performed by Zhang et al. in 2008. A subsequent phylogenetic analysis conducted by Agnolín and Novas recovered scansoriopterygids not as avialans, but as basal members of the clade Paraves remaining in unresolved polytomy with alvarezsaurids and the clade Eumaniraptora. Turner and Norell included only Epidexipteryx hui in their primary phylogenetic analysis, as a full-grown specimen of this species is known. Epidexipteryx was recovered as basal paravian; the authors did note. A separate exploratory analysis included Scansoriopteryx/Epidendrosaurus, recovered as a basal member of Avialae. Constraining the monophyly of Scansoriopterygidae required four additional steps and moved Epidexipteryx into Avialae. A monophyletic Scansoriopterygidae was recovered by Godefroit et al.. Agnolín and Novas recovered scansoriopterygids as non-paravian maniraptorans and the sister group to Oviraptorosauria; the cladogram below follows the results of a phylogenetic study by Lefèvre et al. 2014: The fossil remains of Epidexipteryx, Scansoriopteryx and Yi were all recovered from the Tiaojishan Formation of northeastern China, the former two were spe
Margherita Durastanti was an Italian singer of the 18th century. Vocally, she is best described as a soprano, though in her career her tessitura descended to that of a mezzo-soprano. First heard of professionally in Mantua in 1700–01, she appeared in Bologna and Reggio Emilia and Reggio and Florence. Today she is remembered for her association with the composer George Frideric Handel: indeed she enjoyed a longer personal association with the composer than any other musician; as well as performing many of his early Italian solo cantatas, Durastanti's first roles for Handel included Mary Magdalene in his oratorio La resurrezione and the title role in Agrippina, in her capacity as prima donna of the S Giovanni Grisostomo Theatre in Venice, where she sang from 1709 to 1712. After singing at Parma, Naples, and, in 1719, she came to London in 1720. News of her imminent arrival evinced the following unflattering comment from the librettist Rolli: However, she received a strong recommendation from Steffan Benedetto Pallavicini, court poet at Dresden: She was offered her contract by the Royal Academy company rather late in the day, so was not the Academy's first choice as a member of it.
Handel on the other hand stayed in Dresden. The roles Handel wrote for her during the next five years demonstrate her considerable abilities as a musician and actress, displaying a wide range of characters, both male and female, an ability to cope with wide dissonant leaps in vocal lines and other difficulties, such as chromaticism and dramatic pauses. Though engaged as the first prima donna in the new company, she in effect began as primo uomo, creating the name-part in Radamisto in April 1720, she was demoted as more vocally gifted singers arrived, though her lower-status roles, such as that of Sesto in Giulio Cesare made considerable vocal and theatrical demands. In 1721 she gave birth to a girl, King George I and the Princess Royal were among the child's godparents, she returned to London in October 1722, but found herself superseded as "first woman" by the new sensation Francesca Cuzzoni. Not disconcerted by this turn of events, she remained in Handel's company for a further two seasons.
Her final performance for him was a revival of Ariosti's Coriolano, given for her benefit. In it she sang an English cantata to a text by Pope containing the lines "But let old charmers yield to new. Handel brought Durastanti back to England for his 1733–34 season, when she sang in revivals of Ottone and Il pastor fido, as well as several pasticcios. By this time she was in her fifties, had been singing professionally for over thirty years, it is testimony to her enduring abilities that an aristocratic opera-lover of the time, Lady Bristol, was moved to comment: Although there is little surviving contemporary opinion of Durastanti's singing, Charles Burney wrote insightfully, though at second hand, of her performance in the first revival of Handel's Floridante in 1722: Winton Dean: "Durastanti, Margherita", Grove Music Online ed L.
