Animal Body Size: Linking Pattern and Process across Space, Time, and Taxonomic Group (2013, background): “For example, despite the considerable interest demonstrated by the public and others in dinosaurs, only a handful of studies have begun to try to use a macroscopic perspective to examine the distribution or abundance of species (Carrano 2006), although such efforts are ongoing (table C.”
Postcranial Osteology of Azendohsaurus madagaskarensis (?Middle to Upper Triassic, Isalo Group, Madagascar) and its Systematic Position Among Stem Archosaur Reptiles (2015, background): “Based on femoral length as a proxy body size (Carrano, 2006; Sookias et al., 2012; Turner and Nesbitt, 2013), Azendohsaurus (femoral length [FL] 5 215 mm, table 7) was larger than all known early diverging sauropodomorphs from the Carnian (e.g., Saturnalia tupiniqim, FL 5 157 mm) but is clearly…”
The phylogeny of Tetanurae (Dinosauria: Theropoda) (2012, background): “Although approaches have differed, recent workers have agreed generally on the consistent pattern of body size increases within most groups of dinosaurs, with notable exceptions being coelurosaurian theropods and titanosaurian sauropods (e.g. Carrano 2006).”
