A New Oviraptorid Dinosaur (Dinosauria: Oviraptorosauria) from the Late Cretaceous of Southern China and Its Paleobiogeographical Implications. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2015 AbstractThe Ganzhou area of Jiangxi Province, southern China is becoming one of the most productive oviraptorosaurian localities in the world. A new oviraptorid dinosaur was unearthed from the uppermost Upper Cretaceous Nanxiong Formation of Ganzhou area.

Skeletal completeness of the non‐avian theropod dinosaur fossil record
Palaeontology, Volume 62, Issue 6, Page 951-981, November 2019., 2019 Abstract Non‐avian theropods were a highly successful clade of bipedal, predominantly carnivorous, dinosaurs. Their diversity and macroevolutionary patterns have been the subject of many studies. Changes in fossil specimen completeness through time and space can bias our understanding of macroevolution.

The impact of poor sampling of polymorphism on cladistic analysis
Cladistics, Volume 32, Issue 3, Page 317-334, June 2016., 2016 Abstract Despite its ubiquity in the natural world, polymorphism is commonly disregarded or poorly sampled in phylogenetic analyses due to deliberate sampling strategy, inadequate sampling effort and limited specimen availability. Poor sampling of intraspecific variation engenders differential sampling of morphs within polymorphic species, which could ...

The geometry of taking flight: Limb morphometrics in Mesozoic theropods
Journal of Morphology, Volume 276, Issue 2, Page 152-166, February 2015., 2015 ABSTRACT Theropoda was one of the most successful dinosaurian clades during the Mesozoic and has remained a dominant component of faunas throughout the Cenozoic, with nearly 10,000 extant representatives. The discovery of Archaeopteryx provides evidence that avian theropods evolved at least 155 million years ago and that more than half of the tenure of

Morphology and osteohistology of a large‐bodied caenagnathid (Theropoda, Oviraptorosauria) from the Hell Creek Formation (Montana): implications for size‐based classifications and growth reconstruction in theropods [PDF]
Papers in Palaeontology, 2020 AbstractOviraptorosaurs, like many coelurosaurians, are frequently diagnosed using incomplete or fragmentary skeletal remains, with factors such as body size often used to assign material to a particular taxon or as a basis for describing new species.
