• Estimating the effects of sampling biases on pterosaur diversity patterns: implications for hypotheses of bird/pterosaur competitive replacement (2009, methodology): “…is plausible—it is notable that from the midCampanian onward nearly all pterosaur remains (with the exception of Nyctosaurus lamegoi [Price 1953; Unwin 2003, 2005]) are currently assigned to a single morphologically conservative clade, the Azhdarchidae (Witton and Naish 2008; Barrett et al.…”
• Cranial crest development in the Azhdarchoid pterosaur Tupuxuara, with a review of the genus and tapejarid monophyly (2006, methodology): “Occiput: facing posteriorly or posteroventrally (0), facing ventrally (1) (Unwin 2003, p. 181).”
• Lone Star Pterosaurs (2012, methodology): “It was then conservatively referred to the Pteranodontidae (sensu Unwin, 2003) and tentatively identified as cf. Pteranodon because diagnostic features of the genus were lacking.”
• The Early Evolution of Archosaurs: Relationships and the Origin of Major Clades (2011, background): “Nearly all pterosaur workers found Eudimorphodon within the Campylognathoididae (Kellner, 2003; Unwin, 2003; Dalla Vecchia, 2009; but see Andres et al., 2010), outside Rhamphorhynchidae + Pterodactyloidea.”
• Does mutual sexual selection explain the evolution of head crests in pterosaurs and dinosaurs (2012, background): “Traditionally, different crest morphologies among otherwise similar individuals were regarded as indicators of specific status, resulting in a taxonomic regime where numerous similar species were named within a genus.”
• A NEW PTEROSAUR FROM THE LIAONING PROVINCE OF CHINA, THE PHYLOGENY OF THE PTERODACTYLOIDEA, AND CONVERGENCE IN THEIR CERVICAL VERTEBRAE (2008, methodology): “Length of ulna relative to tibia length (Unwin 2003b): 0, ulna at most the tibia length (ul ⁄ ti £ 1.00); 1, ulna longer than the tibia length (ul ⁄ ti > 1.00).”
