Salgado et al.'s paraphyletic Brachiosauridae
Salgado et al.'s (1997) phylogenetic analysis of titanosaurs and
nearby outgroups a recovered a paraphyletic Brachiosauridae, a finding
which I've had the impression is widely cited. However, when I came
to look for instances of subsequent papers that seem to have taken
this finding at face value, all I could find was Wedel et al. 2000 and
Naish et al. 2005. Are there more of them out there? References,
please!
Thank you.
