Osteology of the Late Jurassic Portuguese sauropod dinosaur Lusotitan atalaiensis (Macronaria) and the evolutionary history of basal titanosauriforms (2013, background): “…in presacral vertebrae has generally been regarded as either a titanosauriform synapomorphy, or convergently acquired by brachiosaurids and derived titanosaurs (Wedel, 2003), along with the Chinese non-neosauropod Mamenchisaurus (Young & Zhao, 1972; Russell & Zheng, 1993; Ouyang & Ye, 2002).”
Postcranial axial skeleton of Europasaurus holgeri (Dinosauria, Sauropoda) from the Upper Jurassic of Germany: implications for sauropod ontogeny and phylogenetic relationships of basal Macronaria (2014, methodology): “Wedel (2003) used the term lateral pneumatopore instead of pleurocoel, defining it as the communication between the lateral aspect of the centrum and the internal air spaces.”
New information on the anatomy and systematic position of Dinheirosaurus lourinhanensis (Sauropoda: Diplodocoidea) from the Late Jurassic of Portugal, with a review of European diplodocoids (2012, methodology): “coding used by Whitlock (2011). Although Whitlock (2011) noted some difficulties created by the use of reductive coding, simulation studies (Strong &”
The Early Evolution of Archosaurs: Relationships and the Origin of Major Clades (2011, background): “The presence of pneumatic features have been discussed at length elsewhere (see Britt, 1993; Rauhut, 2003; O’Connor, 2004; O’Connor and Claessens, 2005; Wedel, 2003, 2007; Sereno et al., 2008).”
BURLY GAITS: CENTERS OF MASS, STABILITY, AND THE TRACKWAYS OF SAUROPOD DINOSAURS (2006, methodology): “Combining lungs, abdominal and thoracic air sacs, and dorsal axial air sacs (Wedel, 2003a), and treating them all as air-filled cavities, gives the trunk region a mean density of ap- proximately 800 g/L, which was used for both the Brachiosaurus and Diplodocus models.”
A new basal rebbachisaurid (Sauropoda, Diplodocoidea) from the Early Cretaceous of the Neuquén Basin; evolution and biogeography of the group (2012, background): “This centrum and other fragmentary centra show that the internal cavities are true pneumatic camerae (sensu Wedel 2003a, 2003b).”
Anatomy of the basal titanosaur (Dinosauria, Sauropoda) Andesaurus delgadoi from the mid-Cretaceous (Albian–early Cenomanian) Río Limay Formation, Neuquén Province, Argentina: implications for titanosaur systematics (2011, background): “INTERNAL VERTEBRAL TISSUE STRUCTURE The internal osseous tissue structure of the dorsal vertebrae is camellate (Wedel 2003), as in most other titanosauriforms (i.e. brachiosaurids and somphos- pondylans), as well as the basal eusauropod Mamenchisaurus (Young & Zhao, 1972; Upchurch, 1998; Wilson &…”
A New Sauropod: Tastavinsaurus Sanzi Gen. Et Sp. Nov. from the Early Cretaceous (Aptian) of Spain (2008, background): “Nomenclature for vertebral pneumatic structures follows Wedel (2003).”
