Investigating evolutionary radiations (2010, background): “…from China, Spain, Argentina, and other parts of the world have enormously enhanced our knowledge, not only by adding species to the roster of fossil forms, but also by adding some spectacularly well preserved materials (Fountaine et al. 2005; Benton et al. 2008; Xu et al. 2009; Zhang et al. 2010).”
A juvenile specimen of a new coelurosaur (Dinosauria: Theropoda) from the Middle–Late Jurassic Shishugou Formation of Xinjiang, People's Republic of China (2014, methodology): “Although the Shishugou basal ceratosaur Limusaurus appears to be closely related to the basal Tendaguru ceratosaur genus Elaphrosaurus (Xu et al. 2009a), which may also be present in the Morrison Formation (Galton 1982), the coelurosaurs and tetanurans from the Shishugou have no generic overlap,…”
