Cited by genera

  • Alcovasaurus

    Recovers Alcovasaurus as the sister of Loricatosaurus, a bridge taxon between the stegosaurines and the other stegosaurids.

  • Denversaurus

    Thyreophoran phylogeny supporting Denversaurus as a genus distinct from Edmontonia.

  • Huayangosaurus

    In its preferred analysis finds Huayangosaurus an early stegosaur, sister to Isaberrysaura, with no Huayangosauridae; its equal-weights and Bayesian analyses place both outside Eurypoda.

  • Isaberrysaura

    In its preferred analysis recovers Isaberrysaura as an early stegosaur, sister to Huayangosaurus; its equal-weights and Bayesian analyses place both outside Eurypoda.

  • Jakapil

    Suggested Jakapil may be an armored marginocephalian or another non-thyreophoran ornithischian.

  • Kentrosaurus

    Recovered Kentrosaurus among the non-stegosaurine stegosaurids.

  • Minmi

    Recovered the holotype outside Eurypoda in its preferred tree and within Ankylosauria in others, attributing the former to a lack of ankylosaur synapomorphies.

  • Miragaia

    In its preferred analysis recovers Miragaia as sister to Adratiklit, closer to Stegosaurus than to Dacentrurus.

  • Sarcolestes

    Recovers Sarcolestes as the earliest-diverging ankylosaur, possibly from lack of character data.

  • Taohelong

    Usually recovers Taohelong, with Silvisaurus, outside the four main ankylosaur clades.

  • Wuerhosaurus

    Reinstates the genus, recognizing Hesperosaurus, Stegosaurus and Wuerhosaurus as distinct given their labile positions.

Cited by clades

  • Ankylosauria

    Comprehensive recent phylogeny of the armored dinosaurs.

  • Nodosauridae

    Recovered Nodosauridae as paraphyletic and defined Panoplosauridae, Polacanthidae and Struthiosauridae, all existing names, for its separate radiations.
