• Déjà vu: the evolution of feeding morphologies in the Carnivora (2007, background): “the evolutionary trajectory as exemplified by Machairodus aphanistus, a Miocene felid from Spain that displays saber-like canine teeth in combination with a primitive cranio-mandibular morphology (Anton et al. 2004a).”
• Aspects of the functional morphology in the cranial and cervical skeleton of the sabre‐toothed cat Paramachairodus ogygia (Kaup, 1832) (Felidae, Machairodontinae) from the Late Miocene of Spain: implications for the origins of the machairodont killing bite (2005, background): “…with either a prolonged bite to the throat or muzzle of prey, resulting in its strangulation or suffocation (Schaller, 1972; Turner & Antón, 1997; Antón et al., 2004b), or with a strong bite to the nape, which causes death by breaking the skull or spinal cord (Leyhausen, 1979; Turner & Antón,…”
