• A revision of enantiornithine (Aves: Ornithothoraces) skull morphology (2011, background): “Yanornis martini , Hongshanornis longicresta ; Zhou & Zhang 2001 , 2005 ) are fairly primitive and highly unfused, having small premaxillae, teeth, and unforked dentaries, though no ornithuromorph is known to retain a postorbital bone and the skulls of ornithothoracine taxa are considerably less ”
• A beaked basal ornithurine bird (Aves, Ornithurae) from the Lower Cretaceous of China (2006, background): “The synsacrum comprises only seven sacrals, similar to Confuciusornis and the primitive enantiornithine Protopteryx , while both Yanornis and Yixianornis have nine and Apsaravis has ten.”
• Evolutionary radiation of the Jehol Biota: chronological and ecological perspectives (2006, background): “The avian radiation at the third phase is characterized by a combination of basal birds, such as Jeholornis (Zhou and Zhang 2002a, 2003a) and Sapeornis (Zhou and Zhang 2002b, 2003b), more enantiornithines, such as Sinornis (Sereno and Rao 1992), Boluochia and Longipteryx (Zhang et al. 2001), and der”
• A New Enantiornithine from the Yixian Formation with the First Recognized Avian Enamel Specialization (2013, background): “…a suggestion further supported by the widespread presence of gastroliths among the latter (e.g., Archaeorhynchus spathula, Yanornis martini Zhou and Zhang, 2001, Hongshanornis longicresta) (Zhou et al., 2004; Zhou and Zhang, 2005, 2006b) and their complete absence in any known specimen of…”
• Anatomy of the primitive bird Sapeornis chaoyangensis from the Early Cretaceous of Liaoning, China (2003, background): “Ornithurine birds such as Yixianornis typically have a much shorter pygostyle (Zhou and Zhang 2001).”
