Evaluating the Mitten-Gliding Hypothesis for Paromomyidae and Micromomyidae (Mammalia, “Plesiadapiformes”) Using Comparative Functional Morphology of New Paleogene Skeletons (2008, methodology): “He championed the tenet that elucidating aspects of functional morphology and phylogeny are not separate endeavors, and one should not precede the other in reconstructing the evolutionary history of a group of animals (e.g., Szalay, 1977, 1981; Szalay and Lucas, 1996; Szalay, 1998, 2000; Szalay and ”
A Phylogeny and Timescale for Marsupial Evolution Based on Sequences for Five Nuclear Genes (2008, background): “Resolving the relationship of microbiotheres relative to other australidelphians is critical for understanding the early biogeographic history of Australidelphia (Kirsch et al. 1991; Springer et al. 1998; Szalay and Sargis 2001; Nilsson et al. 2004).”
A Brief History of South American Metatherians: Evolutionary Contexts and Intercontinental Dispersals (2016, background): “Studies on foot articulation have led to the assumption that living metatherians (especially Didelphidae ) are, in general, highly arboreal (e.g., Szalay 1982a, b, 1994; Szalay and Sargis 2001); and were therefore considered plesiomorphic in their locomotor adaptations.”
