1980Confirmação da relação entre peixes-bois, "hyraxes" e elefantes, por meio do estudo da proteína das lentes dos olhos.
Acta Amazonica 10(4): 897-902. 1 tab. 2 figs. Dec. 1980.
—Engl. summ. Amino acid sequence analysis of ?A eye-lens crystallin confirms the monophyletic origin of the Sirenia, Hyracoidea, and Proboscidea and suggests that the former two are closest to each other; the Paenungulata are the oldest placental offshoot after the Edentata.

Zs. Säugetierk. 47(5): 257-276. 2 tabs. 5 figs. Oct. 1982.
—Sequences of a-crystallin A indicate that paenungulates (Proboscidea, Hyracoidea, and Sirenia) are monophyletic and include the Tubulidentata, and are, together with the edentates, the oldest eutherian offshoots. The sir. data are based on 6 eye lenses of T. inunguis.

Trends in Ecol. & Evol. 13(7): 270-275. 3 figs. July 1998.
—Reviews the present state of molecular phylogeny, noting that the grouping of Sirenia, Proboscidea, and Hyracoidea in a paenungulate clade is supported by all available DNA sequence data, but also noting that "[c]oncerns about the robustness of molecular findings remain justified."
