• A multivariate approach to infer locomotor modes in Mesozoic mammals (2015, methodology): “…of fossil taxa by using raw osteological indices (Van Valkenburgh 1987; Van Valkenburgh 284 MENG CHEN AND GREGORY P. WILSON and Koepfli 1993; Elissamburu and Vizcaíno 2004) or transformed osteological indices (Samuels and Van Valkenburgh 2008; Bover et al. 2010; Samuels et al. 2013) in…”
• When teeth and bones disagree: body mass estimation of a giant extinct rodent (2010, background): “Furthermore, although structural variation in limb bones of rodents is rather limited, limbs of the capybara exhibit features, such as a thick humerus and long olecranon, that most likely are related to its semiaquatic lifestyle and large body mass (Elissamburu and Vizcaino 2004).”
