Interpreting ecology and behaviour from the vertebrate fossil track record (2014, background): “…as to the gait of the track maker – quadrupedal or bipedal, wide or narrow gauge, whether the tail was held high, all of which may be difficult to ascertain from bones alone (Wilson & Carrano, 1999; Wilson & Fisher, 2003; Henderson, 2006; Romano, Whyte & Jackson, 2007; Castanera et al., 2013).”
Osteology of the Late Jurassic Portuguese sauropod dinosaur Lusotitan atalaiensis (Macronaria) and the evolutionary history of basal titanosauriforms (2013, background): “…to lie outside of Titanosauria by a number of authors (Bonaparte et al., 2000; Carballido et al., 2011b; this study), and a number of studies have expressed doubt as to whether wide-gauge trackways are produced solely by titanosaurs (e.g. Henderson, 2006; Santos, Moratalla & Royo-Torres, 2009).”
A quantitative analysis of environmental associations in sauropod dinosaurs (2010, methodology): “…vertebral column, short procoelous tails, and anteriorly flaring ilia of titanosaurs are related to a tripod stance (Borsuk-Bialynicka 1977; Powell 1992; Wilson and Carrano 1999), then such a posture may have been used during high-browsing on particular types of plant (though see Henderson 2006).”
