New information on Cretaceous troodontids (Dinosauria, Theropoda) from the People's Republic of China (2001, background): “The trochanter crest is not seen in dromaeosaurids or apparently Archaeopteryx (Norell and Makovicky 1997), but is present in Confuciusornis and more advanced birds (Chiappe et al. 1999).”
The tenth skeletal specimen of Archaeopteryx (2007, background): “As in other basal avians (e.g. Confuciusornithidae, Chiappe et al., 1999) and in Microraptor (Hwang et al., 2002), but contrary to modern birds, the cranial surface of the distal end lacks a patellar sulcus (Fig.”
A revision of enantiornithine (Aves: Ornithothoraces) skull morphology (2011, background): “Email: jingmai@usc.edu premaxilla in several avian lineages including Enantiornithes is the result of convergent evolution (Chiappe et al. 1999; Zhou & Zhang 2006a).”
New information on Nqwebasaurus thwazi, a coelurosaurian theropod from the Early Cretaceous Kirkwood Formation in South Africa (2012, background): “A similar morphology of the posterior maxilla is also present in some basal avialans, like Confuciusornis (Chiappe et al., 1999), but the projection is impossible to determine because these taxa are only known from slab specimens.”
Osteology and Relationships of Byronosaurus jaffei (Theropoda: Troodontidae) (2003, background): “It also appears to be absent in Archaeopteryx lithographica (Witmer, 1990; Elzanowski and Wellnhofer, 1996) and Confuciusornis sanctus (Chiappe et al., 1999).”
A beaked basal ornithurine bird (Aves, Ornithurae) from the Lower Cretaceous of China (2006, background): “The basal bird Confuciusornis represents the most primitive bird with a horny beak (Hou et al. 1995; Chiappe et al. 1999), yet its diet remains unclear.”
A Review of Dromaeosaurid Systematics and Paravian Phylogeny (2012, background): “Here, basal short tailed birds are represented by Confuciusornis sanctus (Hou et al., 1995a, 1995b; Chiappe et al., 1999) and Sapeornis chaoyangensis (Zhou and Zhang, 2002b), which were scored firsthand (five and two specimens respectively).”
The evolution of ‘bizarre structures’ in dinosaurs: biomechanics, sexual selection, social selection or species recognition? (2011, background): “As for fossil birds, which are dinosaurs, we have almost no information about dimorphism; long tail feathers in the basal avialian Confuciusornis are suggestive (Chiappe et al., 1999), but this is not enough to establish evolutionary polarity.”
A New Enantiornithine from the Yixian Formation with the First Recognized Avian Enamel Specialization (2013, background): “…ornithuromorphs (e.g., Archaeorhynchus spathula Zhou and Zhang, 2006b, Hongshanornis longicresta Zhou and Zhang, 2005), the confuciusornithiforms (Chiappe et al., 1999), and Zhongjianornis zhengi Zhou, Zhang, and Li, 2010 (Zhou and Zhang, 2005; Zhou and Zhang, 2006b; Zhou et al., 2010), all from…”
Remarkable New Birdlike Dinosaur (Theropoda: Maniraptora) from the Upper Cretaceous of Montana (2000, background): “, Archaeopteryx and Confuciusornis (Chiappe et al., 1999; Zhou, 1999).”
