On Divide-and-Conquer Strategies for Parsimony Analysis of Large Data Sets: Rec-I-DCM3 versus TNT (2007)

Goloboff, Pablo A., Pol, Diego

Roshan et al. recently described a “divide-and-conquer” technique for parsimony analysis of large data sets, Rec-I-DCM3, and stated that it compares very favorably to results using the program...

Uncertainty in the Age of Fossils and the Stratigraphic Fit to Phylogenies (2006)

Pol, Diego, Norell, Mark A.

The ages of first appearance of fossil taxa in the stratigraphic record are inherently associated to an interval of error or uncertainty, rather than being precise point estimates. Contrasting this...

New Araripesuchus Remains from the Early Late Cretaceous (Cenomanian–Turonian) of Patagonia (2005)

DIEGO POL, SEBASTIAN APESTEGUIA

Two new crocodyliform specimens found in a recently discovered locality from the Late Cretaceous of Patagonia (Argentina) are described herein. One of them comprises an almost complete skull found in...

A New Gobiosuchid Crocodyliform Taxon from the Cretaceous of Mongolia (2004)

DIEGO POL, MARK A. NORELL

We describe a new fossil crocodyliform, Zaraasuchus shepardi, found in the Cretaceous Red Beds of Zos Canyon (Gobi Desert, Mongolia). Z. shepardi shares numerous derived characters with Gobiosuchus...

A New Crocodyliform from Zos Canyon, Mongolia (2004)

DIEGO POL, MARK A. NORELL

Here we report on a new fossil crocodyliform from Cretaceous Redbeds in the Zos Canyon, Gobi Desert, Mongolia. This new taxon, Zosuchus davidsoni, is described based on the information provided by...

Empirical Problems of the Hierarchical Likelihood Ratio Test for Model Selection (2004)

Pol, Diego

Advocates of maximum likelihood (ML) approaches to phylogenetics commonly cite as one of their primary advantages the use of objective statistical criteria for model selection. Currently, a...

NEW REMAINS OF SPHAGESAURUS HUENEI (CROCODYLOMORPHA: MESOEUCROCODYLIA) FROM THE LATE CRETACEOUS OF BRAZIL (2003)

DIEGO POL

Recent discovery of an almost complete skull of Sphagesaurus huenei, a previously poorly known form from the Late Cretaceous of southern Brazil, shows unexpected morphology for a crocodyliform,...
