• The Bipedal Stem Crocodilian Poposaurus gracilis: Inferring Function in Fossils and Innovation in Archosaur Locomotion (2011, background): “…Willis et al. 2007), then poor performance of Gavialis on land would be autapomorphic; but if it is sister to all other crown crocodilians, as morphology suggests (e.g., Brochu 2003), that might compromise our ability to safely infer the locomotor behavior in the last ancestor of Archosauria.”
• AXIAL SKELETON ONTOGENY IN THE PARASUCHIA (ARCHOSAURIA: PSEUDOSUCHIA) AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR ONTOGENETIC DETERMINATION IN ARCHOSAURS (2007, background): “At least two proximal dorsal vertebrae possess open neurocentral sutures (Brochu, 2003a: 86, fig.”

• Morphology, relationships, and biogeographical significance of an extinct horned crocodile (Crocodylia, Crocodylidae) from the Quaternary of Madagascar (2007, background): “This is yet another parallel with other parts of the world in which Crocodylus appears after endemic forms are either extinct or diminished in diversity (Willis, 1997; Brochu, 2003), but whether these are causally linked remains speculative.”
• Craniofacial Morphology of Simosuchus clarki (Crocodyliformes: Notosuchia) from the Late Cretaceous of Madagascar (2010, background): “Comparisons made to ‘crocodylians’ refer to all members of the clade Crocodylia as defined by Brochu (2003) (ie, the most recent common ancestor of Gavialis gangeticus , Alligator mississippiensis , and Crocodylus niloticus , and all of its descendants).”

• Anatomy, phylogeny and palaeobiology of early archosaurs and their kin (2013, background): “However, the diversification of the avian and crocodylian crown groups are relatively recent events that began during the Late Cretaceous (Brochu 2001, 2003; Clarke et al. 2005), less than 100 Ma ago.”
