The Late Triassic dinosauromorph Sacisaurus agudoensis (Caturrita Formation; Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil): anatomy and affinities (2013, background): “…of silesaurids (Dzik 2003; Ezcurra 2006; Irmis et al. 2007a; Nesbitt et al. 2007, 2010), which does not significantly curve downwards (extending onto the medial margin of the head) as seen in other dinosauromorphs (Sereno & Arcucci 1994b; Ezcurra 2006; Langer & Benton 2006; Nesbit et al. 2009a, b).”
Vertebrate Succession in the Ischigualasto Formation (2012, background): “Other studies positioned Eoraptor outside other saurischians, albeit on weaker grounds (Langer and Benton, 2006).”
The distribution of dental features in non-avian theropod dinosaurs: Taxonomic potential, degree of homoplasy, and major evolutionary trends (2019, background): “…denticulated carinae, and absence of constriction at the cervix (Hendrickx et al., 2015d), is the plesiomorphic condition of theropods, sauropodomorphs or even dinosaurs in general (Sander, 1997; Langer and Benton, 2006; Cabreira et al., 2016; for a different hypothesis see Baron et al., 2017).”
The Femoral Ontogeny and Long Bone Histology of the Middle Triassic (?Late Anisian) Dinosauriform Asilisaurus kongwe and Implications for the Growth of Early Dinosaurs (2016, background): “Many archosaur phylogenies (Gauthier, 1986; Novas, 1992; Langer and Benton, 2006) have followed Bakker and Galton (1974) in using the presence of an anterior (D ‘lesser’) trochanter to separate early dinosaurs from other archosaurs.”
The phylogeny of the ornithischian dinosaurs (2008, methodology): “All published cladistic analyses have shown Dinosauria to form a monophyletic clade (e.g. Gauthier 1986; Benton & Clark 1988; Novas 1996; Sereno 1999a; Benton 2004; Langer 2004; Langer & Benton 2006).”
The Locomotor Musculature of Basal Ornithischian Dinosaurs (2011, background): “Langer and Benton (2006), however, interpreted the brevis shelf to be the lateral edge of the ventral or ventrolaterally facing surface, whereas the surface itself was the brevis fossa.”
The Early Evolution of Archosaurs: Relationships and the Origin of Major Clades (2011, background): “As described by Langer and Benton (2006), the cervical ribs of ornithischians are short and are scored as (1).”
Osteology of Eoraptor lunensis (Dinosauria, Sauropodomorpha) (2012, background): “The presence of a subnarial foramen and akinetic premaxilla-maxilla suture in Eoraptor has been interpreted correctly in several places (Sereno et al., 1993; Langer and Benton, 2006; Martı́nez et al., 2011).”
A Late Triassic dinosauriform from south Brazil and the origin of the ornithischian predentary bone (2007, background): “The latter feature is seen in most members of the group (Galton 1974; Colbert 1981), as well as, but to a lesser degree, in basal theropods and some sauropodomorphs (Novas 1989; Langer and Benton 2006).”
A new early dinosaur (Saurischia: Sauropodomorpha) from the Late Triassic of Argentina: a reassessment of dinosaur origin and phylogeny (2010, methodology): “The position of Herrerasauria as the most basal saurischians (Yates 2003a, 2007a, b; Langer 2004; Langer & Benton 2006; Ezcurra 2006; Irmis et al. 2007) is favoured here.”
The higher-level phylogeny of Archosauria (Tetrapoda: Diapsida) (2010, background): “…1994; Heckert & Lucas 1999; Parker 2007), Crocodylomorpha (Clark et al. 2000, 2004; Sues et al. 2003), Ornithischia (Sereno 1999; Langer & Benton 2006), Ornithosuchidae (Sereno 1991a), Phytosauria (Sereno 1991a), Pterosauria (Sereno 1991a) and Saurischia (Sereno 1999; Langer & Benton 2006).”
Macroevolutionary patterns in the evolutionary radiation of archosaurs (Tetrapoda: Diapsida) (2010, unknown): “(2008a, b) calculated the disparity of three ingroup clades: Avemetatarsalia, Crurotarsi, and Dinosauria.”
Anatomy of a basal sauropodomorph dinosaur from the Early Jurassic Hanson Formation of Antarctica (2007, background): “…elliptical basin posterior to the ascending process for articulation with the descending process of the tibia, and the caudomedial prong of the lateral distal tarsal tapers to a point, features that are both present in other sauropodomorphs and Herrerasaurus (Langer 2004; Langer and Benton 2006).”
