Baraminological Analysis of Jurassic and Cretaceous Avialae
, 2020 The baraminic status of Jurassic and Cretaceous Avialae was evaluated using statistical baraminology. Baraminic distance correlation (BDC) and three dimensional multidimensional scaling (MDS) was applied to six previously published character matrices ...

Phylogenetic relationships of Unenlagiidae theropods: are they members of Dromaeosauridae? [PDF]
, 2010 Paraves is the theropod clade that includes Aves and their close relatives, the deinonychosaurians. The fossil record of basal paravians (currently ranging from Late Jurassic to Late Cretaceous) was mostly restricted to the Northern Hemisphere, but ...
