• Mammals from the Allen Formation, Late Cretaceous, Argentina (2009, background): “They might bea linktotheJurassic australosphenidan diaspora (Luo et al., 2002; Kielan-Jaworowska et al., 2004; Rougier et al., 2007a)ortheycouldhaveanoriginamongbizarredryolestoids (Bonaparte,1990).”
• MAMMALS FROM THE AGE OF DINOSAURS—ORIGINS, EVOLUTION, AND STRUCTURE (2007, methodology): “…clade within crown group Mammalia consisting of Tinodon plus Eutriconodontans is found to be paraphyletic and placed outside the crown group (Luo et al. 2002 mention this in the text but include a paraphyletic Eutriconodonta and Tinodon within crown group Mammalia in their constrained…”
• NEW DATA ON THE SKULL AND DENTITION IN THE MONGOLIAN LATE CRETACEOUS EUTHERIAN MAMMAL ZALAMBDALESTES (2004, background): “Subsequently, a large number of excellent Mesozoic mammal skulls and skeletons have come to light (Lillegraven et al., 1979; Novacek, 1992, 1993; Luo et al., 2002), but Zalambdalestes still ranks high in the quality of representative material.”
• Paleontological evidence to date the tree of life. (2006, background): “Zhelestids are assigned to Laurasiatheria (Archibald et al. 2001; Archibald 2003; Averianov and Archibald 2005; Wible et al. 2005), that is, basal to the hoofed artiodactyls and perissodactyls.”
• Bone microstructure and growth patterns of early mammals (2006, background): “Within these limitations, the phylogeny of early mammals is reasonably well understood (Luo et al. 2002).”
• Phylogeny And Systematics Of Squamata (Reptilia) Based On Morphology (2008, background): “…derived mammal lacks teeth as an adult, possesses a bizarrely specialized snout and venomous spurs (Manger and Pettigrew, 1995; Attenborough, 2002; Dawkins, 2004) among other features that certainly were not present in truly primitive mammals (Desui, 1991; Luo et al., 2002; Rich et al., 2005).”
• Developmental Patterns in Mesozoic Evolution of Mammal Ears (2012, background): “Multituberculates are more closely related to therians than to eutriconodonts, and multituberculates and therians are united in the theriiform clade (Luo et al. 2002, Rowe 1988).”
• The Phylogenetic Relationships of Eucynodontia (Amniota: Synapsida) (2010, background): “The promontorium is the most distinctive feature of the mammalian basicranium (Rowe 1988; Wible 1991; Luo 1994; Luo et al. 2002), but this feature also occurs in Adelobasileus (Lucas and Luo 1993) and Brasilodon (Bonaparte et al. 2005).”
• Revision of the sauropod dinosaur Diamantinasaurus matildae Hocknull et al. 2009 from the mid-Cretaceous of Australia: Implications for Gondwanan titanosauriform dispersal (2015, background): “Following this interpretation, the mammal fauna would appear to show a clear Gondwanan signal (Luo et al., 2002).”
• Timing and biogeography of the eutherian radiation: fossils and molecules compared. (2003, background): “For simplicity s sake in comparisons I group all molecularly based studies under molecular data and all anatomically studies under fossil data.”
• Phylogenetic relationships among sloths (Mammalia, Xenarthra, Tardigrada): the craniodental evidence (2004, methodology): “As in Luo et al. (2002), comparisons were made between raw trees and strict consensus trees.”
• EVOLUTION OF DENTAL REPLACEMENT IN MAMMALS (2004, background): “Which of these conditions is basal to multituberculates as a whole depends on the position of multituberculates on the mammalian phylogenetic tree (see the recent reviews on multituberculate relationships by Butler, 2000 and Luo et al., 2002).”
• New information on Brasilodon and Brasilitherium (Cynodontia, Probainognathia) from the Late Triassic, southern Brazil (2005, background): “…bearing several mammalian features (Bonaparte et al., 2003) provide new evidence to the current interpretations on the sister group of mammals (Kemp, 1982; Hopson & Barghusen 1986; Wible et al., 1990; Shubin et al., 1991; Hahn et al., 1994; Luo, 1994; Hopson & Kitching, 2001; Luo et al., 2002).”
• New Jurassic Mammals from Patagonia, Argentina: A Reappraisal of Australosphenidan Morphology and Interrelationships (2007, methodology): “There is, then, no direct homology between therian dentitions and the arguably modified monotreme ‘‘tribosphenia’’ (Luo et al., 2001a, 2002, 2003; KielanJaworowska et al., 2004), because of the radical lack of protocone in monotremes and a very lax if at all present functional correspondence in the…”
• Constraints on the timescale of animal evolutionary history (2015, background): “According to a widely accepted cladogram of Mesozoic mammals (Luo et al., 2002; Meng et al., 2011; but see Woodburne et al., 2003 and Rougier et al., 2012), therians are part of a larger clade that also includes Eutriconodonta, Multituberculata, Spalacotheroidea, and Dryolestoidea.”
