   “In contrast, the success of the living pilosans and cingulatans was due to their occupation of relatively narrow niches, which allowed little space for the less specialized newcomers.”

   “In contrast to what I perceive to be a lack of special similarity in the astragalocalcaneal complex of the Palaeanodonta and Pholidota, the palaeanodont and dasypodid cingulatan derived similarities of these two bones are extremely suggestive of a common ancestral pattern.”
