Michela M. Johnson

I am a postdoctoral researcher in vertebrate palaeontology at the Staatliches Museum für Naturkunde Stuttgart. I completed my PhD at the University of Edinburgh (UK) in 2019. My work focuses on Teleosauroidea, a group of Jurassic crocodylomorphs; I study their anatomy, taxonomy, phylogenetics, ecology, ontogeny and evolution.

Aeolodontinae Aeolodontini registration

Abstract

Johnson et al. (2020a) provided a comprehensive overview of Teleosauroidea, a diverse group of Mesozoic crocodylomorphs that lived in freshwater-to-marine ecosystems across the world.  Johnson et al. (2020a) performed numerous phylogenetic analyses on Teleosauroidea and used them to establish a new taxonomic framework for this long-neglected clade. However, therein the numerous new teleosauroid clades were not properly registered in accordance with the International Code of Phylogenetic Nomenclature (PhyloCode). Herein we correct this error. We also replace the clade name Aeolodontinae with Aeolodontini, to ensure we do not inadvertently create two different names for this clade under the PhyloCode and the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature.
