Turtles and Tortoises of the World During the Rise and Global Spread of Humanity: First Checklist and Review of Extinct Pleistocene and Holocene Chelonians. (2015, background): “…to this topic include Gaffney (1984), Gaffney and Meylan (1988), Joyce (2007), Gaffney et al. (2007), Danilov and Parham (2008), Sterli (2008, 2010), Joyce et al.

Combining Geometric Morphometrics and Finite Element Analysis with Evolutionary Modeling: Towards a Synthesis (2016, methodology): “Indeed, Hutchinson (1996) questioned whether Pseudograptemys was an emydid at all because it possesses some characters of the shell that also occur within Geoemydidae, and Joyce et al. (2013) chose to avoid it as a calibration point for Emydidae because of this problem.”
A Review of the Fossil Record of Old World Turtles of the Clade Pan-Trionychidae (2017, background): “…pan-trionychids remains unresolved, and it is therefore unclear if most of the Cretaceous forms represent the trionychid stem or crown (Li, Joyce, and Liu 2015; Vitek and Joyce 2015), although a potential assignment to the crown is consistent with molecular dating analyses (Joyce et al. 2013).”
