Critique | Harris and Dodson used Diplodocinae without definition for a clade containing Diplodocus and Barosaurus, although evidence for this clade has not been widely supported. Recently, Taylor and Naisch (2005:4) coined a stem-based definition for this clade using genera, but again there is no new information supporting its monophyly. As there is little evidence to support either subgroup of diplodocids suggested by these authors, the taxon is left inactive for the time being. |
