Cited by genera

  • Achillobator

    Dromaeosaurid systematics review recovering Achillobator as a large-bodied dromaeosaurine.

  • Adasaurus

    Recovered Adasaurus firmly within Velociraptorinae after rescoring.

  • Almas

    Earlier placed Almas in Jinfengopteryginae.

  • Archaeopteryx

    Paravian phylogeny recovering Archaeopteryx as the basalmost avialan.

  • Bambiraptor

    Recovered Bambiraptor as a velociraptorine dromaeosaurid.

  • Deinonychus

    Recovered Deinonychus as a velociraptorine in its dromaeosaurid systematics review.

  • Dinevenator

    Finds the holotype frontal damaged and weathered, lacking even dromaeosaurid synapomorphies, and treats Saurornitholestes robustus as a nomen dubium.

  • Jinfengopteryx

    Paravian phylogeny review recovered Jinfengopteryx as troodontid, type of Jinfengopteryginae.

  • Linheraptor

    Considered Linheraptor a junior synonym of Tsaagan mangas.

  • Mahakala

    Recovered Mahakala as the basalmost dromaeosaurid.

  • Neuquenraptor

    Merged Neuquenraptor and Unenlagia in its primary analysis.

  • Pyroraptor

    Treated Pyroraptor as a labile wildcard taxon in dromaeosaurid systematics review.

  • Rahonavis

    Review of dromaeosaurid systematics recovered Rahonavis nested within Unenlagiinae.

  • Shanag

    Recovered Shanag among basal dromaeosaurids between Microraptorinae and Eudromaeosauria.

  • Tianyuraptor

    Recovered Tianyuraptor as a basal microraptorine dromaeosaurid.

  • Variraptor

    Agrees with Allain and Taquet (2000) that the holotype is nondiagnostic and treats Variraptor mechinorum as a nomen dubium.

  • Xinjiangovenator

    Lists Xinjiangovenator among small basal coelurosaurs not assignable to an established subclade.

  • Xixiasaurus

    Recovered Xixiasaurus with Sinovenator and Mei.

Cited by clades

  • Anchiornithidae

    Dromaeosaurid/paravian phylogeny review recovering anchiornithids as basal troodontids.

  • Deinonychosauria

    Recovered Deinonychosauria with low jackknife support (GC 3); collapsing the node costs one step.

  • Dromaeosaurinae

    Defined Dromaeosaurinae and Eudromaeosauria in a review of paravian phylogeny.

  • Eudromaeosauria

    Defined Dromaeosaurinae and Eudromaeosauria in a review of paravian phylogeny.

  • Jinfengopteryginae

    Erected Jinfengopteryginae, with Jinfengopteryx recovered as sister to nearly all other troodontids.

  • Microraptorinae

    Recovered Microraptorinae within Dromaeosauridae, united by five synapomorphies.

  • Scansoriopterygidae

    Recovered Epidexipteryx as the basalmost paravian; Scansoriopterygidae was not recovered, and constraining it costs four steps and places it basally in Avialae.

  • Unenlagiinae

    Emended diagnosis and stem-based definition of Unenlagiinae; recovered it as an early-diverging clade within Dromaeosauridae.
