- The distribution of dental features in non-avian theropod dinosaurs: Taxonomic potential, degree of homoplasy, and major evolutionary trends (2019, background): “Theropods are a lineage of bipedal dinosaurs including birds and their most recent common ancestors (e.g., Padian and Chiappe, 1998; Chiappe and Witmer, 2002; Long and Schouten, 2008; Naish, 2012).”
- ANATOMICAL NOMENCLATURE OF FOSSIL VERTEBRATES: STANDARDIZED TERMS OR ‘LINGUA FRANCA’? (2006, background): “Not surprisingly, these terms were also implemented in a comparable treatise on Mesozoic birds (Chiappe and Witmer, 2002).”
- Paleontological evidence to date the tree of life. (2006, background): “The oldest neoavian is debated, with dozens of records of gaviiforms, pelecaniforms, charadriiforms, procellarii-forms, and psittaciforms from the latest Cretaceous (most are close to the Cretaceous Tertiary boundary, 65.5 MYA; Dyke 2001; Hope 2002).”
- Late Cretaceous bioconnections between Indo‐Madagascar and Antarctica: refutation of the Gunnerus Ridge causeway hypothesis (2011, background): “…modern clade Neornithes, whereas those from South America and Madagascar comprise more archaic taxa such as basal pygostylians, enantiornithines, and ornithurines (e.g. Walker, 1981; Chiappe, 1993, 1996a,b; Forster et al., 1996, 2003; Agnolin & Martinelli, 2009; O’Connor & Forster, 2010).”
- Comparative genomics reveals insights into avian genome evolution and adaptation (2014, methodology): “Significant positive selection was found in two taxa on different genes: (1) in OPN1sw1 on the branch leading to Passerida (here represented by zebra finch and medium ground-finch), and (2) in OPN1Rh2 on the branches within Sphenisciformes (the emperor and Adelie penguins)) (Fig.”
- Cranial Kinesis in Dinosaurs: Intracranial Joints, Protractor Muscles, and Their Significance for Cranial Evolution and Function in Diapsids (2008, background): “Likewise, the alvarezsaurid Shuvuuia has a delicate skull with reduced articulations of the temporal bars and quadrate resulting from loss of the postorbital process of the jugal and of the squamosal process of the quadratojugal, leading Chiappe et al. (1998, 2002) to the inference of prokinesis.”
