• Osteohistology of the Triassic Archosauromorphs Prolacerta, Proterosuchus, Euparkeria, and Erythrosuchus from the Karoo Basin of South Africa (2011, background): “1) is important in Pangaean-scale reconstructions of Early Triassic paleobiogeography in that it is the first new terrestrial taxon to appear above the Permo-Triassic boundary in the Karoo-aged basins of South Africa and Russia (Benton et al., 2004; Smith and Botha, 2005).”
• A comprehensive taxonomic revision of Dicynodon (Therapsida, Anomodontia) and its implications for dicynodont phylogeny, biogeography, and biostratigraphy (2011, background): “Recognizing the problematic nature of Dicynodon alpha taxonomy, most recent studies of vertebrate turnover at the PTB have treated Dicynodon as a single genus-level taxon (eg, Angielczyk et al, 2005b ; Smith and Botha, 2005 ; Ward et al, 2005 ; Botha and Smith 2006; Roopnarine et al, 2007 ),”
• The Origin, Early History and Diversification of Lepidosauromorph Reptiles (2010, background): “Less is known about the South African Donnybrook locality (Paliguana), but the general Early Triassic environment of the Karoo Basin has been described as a warm, arid floodplain with rivers, playas and lakes (e.g., Smith and Botha, 2005).”
• REDESCRIPTION OF PLATYCRANIELLUS ELEGANS (THERAPSIDA, CYNODONTIA) FROM THE LOWER TRIASSIC OF SOUTH AFRICA, AND THE CLADISTIC RELATIONSHIPS OF EUTHERIODONTS (2007, background): “The other ‘Therocephalia’ known to cross the P ⁄ T boundary are the scaloposaurids Ictidosuchoides and Tetracynodon (Smith and Botha 2005).”
• Rapid vertebrate recuperation in the Karoo Basin of South Africa following the End-Permian extinction (2006, background): “…Districts in the southern and central Karoo Basin has provided palaeoenvironmental and biostratigraphical information allowing the patterns of disappearance of various vertebrate taxa across the PermoTriassic boundary to be documented in greater detail (Ward et al., 2005; Smith and Botha, 2005).”
• Composition and similarity of global anomodont-bearing tetrapod faunas (2009, background): “mccaigi, is present in the uppermost part of the Dicynodon AZ (Smith, 1995; Smith and Ward, 2001; Smith and Botha, 2005; Botha and Smith, 2006).”
