• Morphology, phylogeny and taxonomy of South American bothropoid pitvipers (Serpentes, Viperidae) (2012, methodology): “Parkinson (1999), Parkinson et al. (2002), Wüster et al. (2002) and Castoe & Parkinson (2006) found molecular characters supporting the group and Estol (1981) determined a character of dorsal scale microstructure to be a morphological synapomorphy.”
• Morphological and molecular evidence for phylogeny and classification of South American pitvipers, genera Bothrops, Bothriopsis, and Bothrocophias (Serpentes: Viperidae) (2009, background): “Wüster et al. (2002) also suggest that although Bothrops + Bothriopsis contains greater morphological and natural history diversity than other genera, it appears to be no older based on cyt b divergence levels.”
