Lateral tracheal and esophageal displacement in Avialae and morphological implications for theropoda (Dinosauria : Saurischia) [PDF]
This research examines the evolution, phylogenetic distribution, and functional explanations for a peculiar and often overlooked character seen in birds, herein called tracheal and esophageal displacement.

The Dinosauria: Baraminological and Multivariate Patterns [PDF]
The Dinosauria pose both interesting and challenging questions for creationist systematists. One question is whether new dinosaur discoveries are closing morphospatial gaps between dinosaurian groups, revealing continuous morphological fossil series ...

Revealing patterns of homoplasy in discrete phylogenetic datasets with a cross-comparable index [PDF]
Investigating patterns of homoplasy can improve our understanding of macroevolutionary processes by revealing evolutionary constraints on morphology and highlighting convergent form–function relationships.
