Shape and mechanics in thalattosuchian (Crocodylomorpha) skulls: implications for feeding behaviour and niche partitioning [PDF]
Journal of Anatomy, 2009 AbstractVariation in modern crocodilian and extinct thalattosuchian crocodylomorph skull morphology is only weakly correlated with phylogeny, implying that factors other than evolutionary proximity play important roles in determining crocodile skull shape.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Triassic pseudosuchians had highly diversified cranial morphologies. These archosaurs occupied diverse ecological roles, ranging from terrestrial predators and herbivores to semiaquatic ambush predators and possible waders. Here, we apply linear cranial morphometrics to assess possible convergences with other sauropsids from the clades ...

Phylogenetic nomenclature of Notosuchia (Crocodylomorpha; Crocodyliformes)
Bulletin of Phylogenetic NomenclatureNotosuchia is a large and diverse clade of Mesozoic crocodyliforms that thrived in continental environments especially during the Cretaceous of Gondwana. This clade has been the focus of several phylogenetic studies that led to the consensus of two main topological arrangements, mostly differing in the position of the clade Sebecidae: the sebecosuchian
