These features have led to a general agreement on the phylogenetic affinity of Catopithecus as a sister taxon of propliopithecine catarrhines.

Mayr, Gerald (2003): The phylogenetic affinities of the Shoebill (Balaeniceps rex).

The timing and number of hypothesized colonizations has traditionally hinged on the phylogenetic affinities of the aye-aye, the most basal member of the lemur clade.

These confirm what already could be concluded from its phylogenetic affinities and general build: that Scipionyx was a predator.

Its phylogenetic affinity within the proboscidea is uncertain.

The phylogenetic affinities of the enigmatic mammalian clade Gondwanatheria (subscription required).

All of the species are known only from males from Central Africa and show a morphological and phylogenetic affinity to the army ant genus Dorylus.

Because Algeripithecus was radically reclassified with the discovery of more fossils, equally fragmentary remains of Altiatlasius leave its phylogenetic affinities questionable.

Thus, posterior shape of the body may be more indicative of habitat than phylogenetic affinity (1985, p. 227).

He further suggested that Xenothrix shared a close phylogenetic affinity with Callicebus or Aotus.
