• Constraint and adaptation in the evolution of carnivoran skull shape (2011, background): “…over the past 65 Ma different taxa have adapted to different feeding strategies—function—with a limited set of phenotypic variants—morphology (Van Valkenburgh 1988, 1989, 1999), a history that has been largely interpreted as iterative evolution among natural replicas (Van Valkenburgh 1991, 2007).”
• Long in the tooth: evolution of sabertooth cat cranial shape (2008, background): “Sabertooths evolved independently at least four times in Cenozoic mammals: once in marsupials and at least once in each of the Eutherian clades Creodonta, Nimravidae, and Felidae (Riggs 1934; Simpson 1941; Emerson and Radinsky 1980; Turner and Antón 1997; Van Valkenburgh 2007).”
• The Ecological Role of the Mammalian Mesocarnivore (2009, background): “To do so, their skulls, jaws, and teeth are modified to handle greater stresses incurred in killing prey their own size or larger (Van Valkenburgh 2007).”
• The macroevolutionary consequences of phenotypic integration: from development to deep time (2014, background): “Indeed, it has often been noted that some clades, such as carnivorans, display repeated evolution of many morphologies, such as catlike, wolf-like or hyaena-like forms, in multiple lineages [108]; a shared pattern of trait integration among these taxa suggests that this observation is not due simply”
