• The evolution of Metriorhynchoidea (mesoeucrocodylia, thalattosuchia): an integrated approach using geometric morphometrics, analysis of disparity, and biomechanics (2010, background): “The mandibular fenestrae in extant crocodylians are only filled by the musculus intramandibularis (Dodson, 1975), as the mandibular adductor musculature attachments to the medial mandibular fossae are largely tendinous (Iordansky, 1964; the musculus adductor mandibulae posterior also inserts into th”
• AXIAL SKELETON ONTOGENY IN THE PARASUCHIA (ARCHOSAURIA: PSEUDOSUCHIA) AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR ONTOGENETIC DETERMINATION IN ARCHOSAURS (2007, background): “Even in extant crocodylians, whose ontogeny has been extensively studied (e.g., Dodson, 1975; Brochu, 1992), the known timing of ontogenetic sequence is only relative, and has never been calibrated using absolute ages of individuals.”
• Ontogenetic niche shifts in the American Alligator establish functional connectivity between aquatic systems (2009, background): “Negative allometry in limb lengths and mechanical properties of the femoral retractor muscles in alligators indicate a higher propensity for terrestrial locomotion in juveniles over adults (Dodson, 1975).”
• A high-resolution growth series of Tyrannosaurus rex obtained from multiple lines of evidence (2020, background): “…(2013)), Crocodylus acutus, Mecistops cataphractus, and Tomistoma schlegelii (Piras et al., 2010 in Foth, Bona & Desojo (2013); Platt et al., 2011), and also in A. mississippiensis (Dodson, 1975 in Foth, Bona & Desojo (2013)) and C. novaeguineae (Hall & Portier, 1994 in Foth, Bona & Desojo (2013)).”
