• The evolution of Metriorhynchoidea (mesoeucrocodylia, thalattosuchia): an integrated approach using geometric morphometrics, analysis of disparity, and biomechanics (2010, background): “Gullet size, dental morphology (Taylor, 1987; Massare, 1987), and osmoregulatory physiology (Fernández & Gasparini, 2000, 2008) are the main factors that constrain prey selection in marine predators.”
• The Skull of Teleosaurus cadomensis (Crocodylomorpha; Thalattosuchia), and Phylogenetic Analysis of Thalattosuchia (2009, background): “The nasal salt gland being hypertrophied in Geosaurus, the external groove was interpreted as possibly used to allow the drainage of the salt glands (Fernandez and Gasparini, 2000).”
