Osteology of the Late Jurassic Portuguese sauropod dinosaur Lusotitan atalaiensis (Macronaria) and the evolutionary history of basal titanosauriforms (2013, background): “…work that has noted a middle Cretaceous faunal turnover in dinosaurs (e.g. Coria & Salgado, 2005), squamates (e.g. Evans, 2003), crocodylomorphs (e.g. Martin & Delfino, 2010), and other groups, and it seems that this transition occurred in a spatiotemporally staggered fashion (Benson et al., 2013).”
A new phylogenetic hypothesis of turtles with implications for the timing and number of evolutionary transitions to marine lifestyles in the group (2018, background): “This contrasts with other marine reptiles, such as mosasaurs and plesiosaurs (Bardet 1994; Motani 2009; Benson 2013) and explanations of marine turtle survival warrant further investigation.”
