• A phylogeny and revised classification of Squamata, including 4161 species of lizards and snakes (2013, background): “Despite considerable disagreement among morphologybased hypotheses, this basic division is supported by nearly all phylogenetic analyses based on morphological data [13-15,19,22,95,191].”
• Mesozoic and Cenozoic squamates of Europe (2013, background): “(1988) has been supported by recent studies (Conrad 2008; Gauthier et al. 2012).”
• Assembling the Squamate Tree of Life: Perspectives from the Phenotype and the Fossil Record (2012, methodology): “Polyglyphanodontians lack at least 16 scleroglossan synapomorphies, leading us to infer that, far from being stem teiids (e.g., Estes 1983; Gauthier 1984; Conrad 2008), this group diverged from other lizards before the origin of crown Scleroglossa (see also “morphology tree” in Lee 2009).”
• Length-weight allometries in lizards (2010, result): “The number of phylogenetic relationships suggested for major lizard clades is close to the number of studies on the subject (compare, for example, Townsend et al., 2004; Zhou et al., 2006; Conrad, 2008; Organ, Moreno & Edwards, 2008; Zaldivar-Riveron et al., 2008; Albert et al., 2009; Vidal & Hedges”
• The Origin, Early History and Diversification of Lepidosauromorph Reptiles (2010, background): “…morphological characters (Estes et al., 1988) divided Squamata into Iguania (pleurodont and acrodont lineages) and Scleroglossa (all non-iguanian squamates), and most morphological trees show a similar topology (e.g., Lee, 1998; Conrad and Norell, 2006; Sánchez-Martinez et al., 2007; Conrad, 2008).”
• The origin(s) of extant amphibians: a review with emphasis on the “lepospondyl hypothesis” (2013, methodology): “For example, the analysis by Conrad (2008), which is based on a matrix with a very large number of taxa but relatively few characters, found a clade consisting of snakes, amphisbaenians, dibamids, and limbless and limb-reduced skinks to be nested among the skinks with unreduced limbs – a result…”
• Los últimos 30 años de estudios de la familia de lagartijas más diversa de Argentina. Actualización taxonómica y sistemática de Liolaemidae (2014, unknown): “Conrad (2008), basándose exclusivamente en evidencia morfológica, encuentra evidencia similar a la de Frost y Etheridge (1989), recuperando a la familia Tropiduridae y dentro a los representantes de Liolaemus, por lo que el clado en cuestión sería identificado como Liolaeminae.”
