Estimating morphological diversity and tempo with discrete character‐taxon matrices: implementation, challenges, progress, and future directions (2016, background): “…biased towards those that support specific a priori notions of classification at one end (Sereno, 1999) and those that are attempts at delineating the entire morphological variation of a group at the other (Livezey & Zusi, 2006), with most data sets found somewhere between these two extremes.”
Metaves, Mirandornithes, Strisores and other novelties – a critical review of the higher‐level phylogeny of neornithine birds (2010, background): “The by far most comprehensive of these was gathered by Livezey and Zusi (2006, 2007), whose matrix included nearly 3000 morphological characters and representatives of most extant non-passeriform family-level taxa.”
