- Cope's rule and the adaptive landscape of dinosaur body size evolution (2018, background): “…dinosaurs and most other Mesozoic stem-group birds indicate that they did not possess the apomorphic femoral orientation of extant birds (e.g. Carrano 1998, 2001; Campione et al. 2014), suggesting that the nonavian bipedal tetrapod scaling relationship of Campione et al. (2014) is…”

- The Appendicular Skeleton of Neuquensaurus, a Late Cretaceous Saltasaurine Sauropod from Patagonia, Argentina (2010, background): “Limb bones of large animals like sauro− pods have to support a mediolateral couple force generated doi:10.4202/app.2009.0099 by their own weight (Wilson and Carrano 1999; Carrano 2001).”
- Postcranial Anatomy and Phylogenetic Relationships of Mussaurus patagonicus (Dinosauria, Sauropodomorpha) (2013, background): “The next step in the functional progression is the acquisition of graviportal quadrupedalism, which is achieved by increased robustness and alignment of the limb bones in order to minimize lateral forces and to reduce limb bone flexion (Wilson and Carrano, 1999; Carrano, 2001).”
- Body mass estimation in non‐avian bipeds using a theoretical conversion to quadruped stylopodial proportions (2014, methodology): “…these empirical observations, we modified the hypothetical quadrupedal function using the mean eccentricity of the femur (DML/ DAP = 1 027) as observed in mammals by Carrano (2001), and the mean humeral eccentricity (DML/DAP = 0 831) calculated from a carnivoran sample (Bertram & Biewener 1990).”
