Cited by genera

• Albalophosaurus

  Comprehensive early ornithischian phylogeny recovering Albalophosaurus in variable, unstable positions.

• Convolosaurus

  Recovered Convolosaurus as the earliest-diverging tenontosaurid, within Rhabdodontomorpha.

• Cumnoria

  Recovers Cumnoria within Camptosauridae, and reviews the analyses placing it near or outside the root of Ankylopollexia.

• Draconyx

  Recovers Draconyx as a constituent of Dryomorpha outside Ankylopollexia.

• Fostoria

  Recovered Fostoria within Elasmaria alongside Muttaburrasaurus, interpreting their rhabdodontomorph similarities as convergence.

• Gideonmantellia

  Recovered Gideonmantellia within a restricted Hypsilophodontidae, sister to Hypsilophodon.

• Haya

  Comprehensive ornithischian phylogeny recovering Haya within Thescelosaurinae.

• Iani

  Recovered Iani in Tenontosauridae, within Rhabdodontomorpha.

• Jakapil

  Recovered Jakapil outside Eurypoda under equal weights, and as the earliest ankylosaur under implied weights.

• Jeholosaurus

  Comprehensive ornithischian phylogeny recovered Jeholosaurus within Thescelosaurinae, not Jeholosauridae.

• Kangnasaurus

  Recovers Kangnasaurus within Elasmaria, as one of its earliest members under implied weighting.

• Lesothosaurus

  Comprehensive ornithischian phylogeny placing Lesothosaurus among early ornithischians.

• Manidens

  Recovered Manidens as basalmost Heterodontosaurinae in their ornithischian phylogeny.

• Micropachycephalosaurus

  Recovered Micropachycephalosaurus's position within their comprehensive ornithischian phylogenetic analysis.

• Muttaburrasaurus

  Recovered Muttaburrasaurus within Elasmaria, interpreting its similarities to rhabdodontomorphs as convergence.

• Nanosaurus

  Comprehensive ornithischian phylogeny recovered Nanosaurus as valid basal neornithischian.

• Nevadadromeus

  Recovered Nevadadromeus within Orodrominae.

• Oblitosaurus

  Recovers Oblitosaurus with Draconyx loureiroi outside Ankylopollexia under implied weighting, and in a polytomy at the base of Ankylopollexia under equal weights without pruning.

• Owenodon

  Reports, citing earlier analyses, that Owenodon falls near the root of Ankylopollexia or outside it; its own analyses do not include the genus.

• Scelidosaurus

  Recovered Scelidosaurus outside Eurypoda.

• Siluosaurus

  Found the teeth comparable to both ornithopods and ceratopsians and placed Siluosaurus no more precisely than Cerapoda indeterminate.

• Stenopelix

  Recovered Stenopelix within Chaoyangsauridae, with Yinlong.

• Tenontosaurus

  Recovered Tenontosaurus within Rhabdodontomorpha, in Tenontosauridae with Iani and Convolosaurus.

• Uteodon

  Declines the synonymy with Camptosaurus and recovers Uteodon as a basal ankylopollexian.

• Yueosaurus

  Comprehensive ornithischian phylogeny placing Jeholosaurus and Changchunsaurus within Thescelosaurinae; does not recognize Jeholosauridae as a clade.

• Yuxisaurus

  Recovered Yuxisaurus outside Eurypoda.

Cited by clades

• Elasmaria

  Provides a modern phylogenetic delimitation of Elasmaria within Iguanodontia.

• Hypsilophodontidae

  Recovered Hypsilophodontidae as Hypsilophodon and Gideonmantellia, the only non-iguanodontian ornithopods, noting this contrasts with most other studies.

• Rhabdodontomorpha

  Named Tenontosauridae for Tenontosaurus, Convolosaurus and Iani, and recovered it with Rhabdodontoidea within Rhabdodontomorpha.

• Thescelosauridae

  Recovered Jeholosaurus and Changchunsaurus within Thescelosaurinae, rendering Jeholosauridae inapplicable.

• Thescelosaurinae

  Recovered Jeholosaurus and Changchunsaurus within Thescelosaurinae, rendering Jeholosauridae inapplicable.
