­Postcranial skeletal anatomy of the holotype and referred specimens of Buitreraptor gonzalezorum Makovicky, Apesteguía and Agnolín 2005 (Theropoda, Dromaeosauridae), from the Late Cretaceous of Patagonia

In the phylogenetic analysis provided here, the authors set all characters as non-additive (unordered). Yet, the first 853 characters are based on Brusatte et al. (2014), where a s...
