• SCALE AND HIERARCHY IN MACROEVOLUTION (2007, background): “This is not to say that birds and mammals were completely static during the Mesozoic (e.g. Chiappe and Dyke 2002; Fountaine et al. 2005; Luo and Wible 2005), but their Cenozoic diversification is on an entirely different scale, functionally and morphologically, from their earlier gains.”
• VERTEBRATE DISPERSAL OF SEED PLANTS THROUGH TIME (2004, background): “However, research in the past 20 years has demonstrated a greater diversity of Mesozoic birds and the existence of a whole clade (Enantiornithines) that became extinct at the end of the Cretaceous (Chiappe & Dyke 2002, Feduccia 2003).”
• Evolution of Seed Size and Biotic Seed Dispersal in Angiosperms: Paleoecological and Neoecological Evidence (2008, background): “An earlier origin of the passerines in the Southern Hemisphere has been suggested (Ericson et al. 2003), and molecular data indicate that modern birds originated in Cretaceous, but fossil evidence is lacking (Feduccia 1996; Chiappe and Dyke 2002).”
• The evolutionary radiation of modern birds (Neornithes): reconciling molecules, morphology and the fossil record (2004, background): “Although there remains little doubt in the minds of most workers that the majority of the basal clades of Neornithes must have a Cretaceous fossil record (but see Feduccia, 2003), this inference is currently based on little convincing fossil material (Dyke, 2001a; Chiappe & Dyke, 2002).”
• Different evolutionary histories underlie congruent species richness gradients of birds and mammals (2012, background): “Modern birds, in contrast, may have been less constrained by the presence of dinosaurs and have begun their radiation in the Late Cretaceous (Clarke et al., 2005; Zhou, 2007), but, again, this is not universally accepted (Chiappe & Dyke, 2002).”
