• A revision of enantiornithine (Aves: Ornithothoraces) skull morphology (2011, background): “…as Eoenantiornis buhleri, Longipteryx chaoyangensis, Pengornis houi and new specimens of Gobipteryx minuta, provides new insights into how the enantiornithine skull was constructed and the degree of variation among taxa (Hou et al. 1999; Zhang et al. 2000; Zhou et al. 2008; Chiappe et al. 2001).”
• Phylogenetic Support for a Specialized Clade of Cretaceous Enantiornithine Birds with Information from a New Species (2009, background): “However, three enantiornithines from the Jehol biota are known to possess a relatively elongate rostrum, Longipteryx chaoyangensis (Zhang et al., 2001), Longirostravis hani (Hou et al., 2004) and a yet unnamed taxon (Morschhauser et al., 2006).”
• A New Enantiornithine from the Yixian Formation with the First Recognized Avian Enamel Specialization (2013, background): “Enantiornithines exhibit a wide range of cranial morphologies (O’Connor and Chiappe, 2011) and the long rostrum of some of these taxa has been used to infer specific trophic specializations (Zhang et al., 2000; Hou et al., 2004; Morschhauser et al., 2009; O’Connor et al., 2009).”
• Evolutionary radiation of the Jehol Biota: chronological and ecological perspectives (2006, background): “Among the Jehol birds, most of the enantiornithines probably ate insects, while Longipteryx was piscivorous (Zhang et al. 2001) and Longirostravis probed in soft sediment with elongated and pointed jaws that had teeth restricted to the rostral end (Hou et al. 2004); Jeholornis was a specialized seed”
• A new diverse enantiornithine family (Bohaiornithidae fam. nov.) from the Lower Cretaceous of China with information from two new species (2014, background): “In both cases the uncinate processes are morphologically similar to those of Parabohaiornis (Zhang et al., 2001; Zheng et al., 2013a).”
