Among Martin's work is research on the Triassic reptile Longisquama and theropod dinosaur Caudipteryx and Dakotaraptor. According to the University of Kansas, he "has been a leading opponent of the theory that birds are 'living dinosaurs.'" Later he acknowledged a correlation and further contributed.
