A multivariate approach to infer locomotor modes in Mesozoic mammals (2015, background): “…2002a,b], Diprotodontia [Weisbecker and Warton 2006], Rodentia [Samuels and Van Valkenburgh 2008]); (iii) single or few locomotor modes (e.g., fossorial mode [Hopkins and Davis 2009]; and/or (iv) mostly large-bodied taxa (>5 kg; e.g., Van Valkenburgh 1987; Gingerich 2003; Samuels et al. 2013).”
Ecomorphological diversifications of Mesozoic marine reptiles: the roles of ecological opportunity and extinction (2016, methodology): “The full data set, composed of z-transformed continuous variables and binary scores for all 206 marine reptile species, was used to calculate an intertaxon distance matrix based on Gower’s similarity coefficient (Gower 1971).”
