Cited by genera

  • Barapasaurus

    Recovered Barapasaurus within Eusauropoda under a stem-based definition; weakly supported.

  • Dyslocosaurus

    Argued that two pedal phalanges and a small ungual of the Dyslocosaurus holotype are non-sauropod bones and should not be associated with it, while accepting the remainder.

Cited by clades

  • Diplodocoidea

    Provided the stem-based phylogenetic definition of Diplodocoidea.

  • Eusauropoda

    Defined Eusauropoda as sauropods closer to Saltasaurus than to Vulcanodon, and diagnosed it.

  • Macronaria
  • Somphospondyli
  • Titanosauriformes

    Redefined Titanosauriformes as Brachiosaurus, Saltasaurus, their common ancestor and all its descendants, and diagnosed it.
