• A Brief History of South American Metatherians: Evolutionary Contexts and Intercontinental Dispersals (2016, background): “…other hand, pose considerable constraints to size in mammals, which are related to living in a highly complex three-dimensional habitat which includes gathering food, escaping from predators, and moving through different sized branches and open spaces, amongst others (Szalay 1994; Hildebrand 1995).”
• A Phylogeny and Timescale for Marsupial Evolution Based on Sequences for Five Nuclear Genes (2008, background): “Luckett (1994) agreed with Szalay (1982, 1994) and suggested that a double or triple faceted calcaneocuboid may also support Australidelphia.”
• A multivariate approach to infer locomotor modes in Mesozoic mammals (2015, background): “However, multiple studies have shown that the same biomechanical selective forces operate on both small- and large-bodied mammals (Szalay 1984; Sargis 2001b; Szalay and Sargis 2001).”
• A Dated Phylogeny of Marsupials Using a Molecular Supermatrix and Multiple Fossil Constraints (2008, methodology): “This topology agrees with that of AmrineMadsen et al. (2003) and Phillips et al. (2006), and it indicates that syndactyly (fusion of digits II and III and their integration into a single functional digit—Weisbecker and Nilsson 2006) evolved independently in these 2 orders (contra Szalay 1994).”
• A phylogeny and timescale for the living genera of kangaroos and kin (Macropodiformes : Marsupialia) based on nuclear DNA sequences (2008, background): “Potoroidae includes four genera of bettongs, potoroos and small rat kangaroos (Aepyprymnus, Bettongia, Caloprymnus, Potorous).”
