Analyzing the impact of conflictive dental characters on the phylogeny of octodontoid rodents [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2016 Systematics of fossil octodontoids (Rodentia, Caviomorpha) is in great part based on insights into the knowledge of teeth, making the step of dental characterization certainly relevant for the evolutionary reconstruction of these rodents.
