The higher-level phylogeny of Archosauria (Tetrapoda: Diapsida) (2010, background): “Finally, Gracilisuchus and Erpetosuchus are placed as sequential outgroups to Crocodylomorpha.”
Macroevolutionary patterns in the evolutionary radiation of archosaurs (Tetrapoda: Diapsida) (2010, unknown): “Beyond this, however, many disagreements have persisted, including debates over which crurotarsan clade is most basal, which taxa are the closest relatives of crocodylomorphs, and whether or not rauisuchians form a monophyletic group (Parrish 1993; Benton & Walker 2002; Gower 2002; Nesbitt 2003, 200”
AXIAL SKELETON ONTOGENY IN THE PARASUCHIA (ARCHOSAURIA: PSEUDOSUCHIA) AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR ONTOGENETIC DETERMINATION IN ARCHOSAURS (2007, background): “Patterns of neurocentral suture closure are difficult to evaluate in other basal pseudosuchian taxa outside Crocodylomorpha.”

Postcranial Anatomy of the Rauisuchian Archosaur Batrachotomus kupferzellensis (2009, methodology): “Much of the morphology of the cranium and mandible (Gower, 1999) and the braincase (Gower, 2002) of B. kupferzellensis has already been described in detail.”
