"[1] Prior to the formal naming of Dromaeosauriformipes, the trackways were first noted in a 2016 conference abstracts as the smallest known didactyl dromaeosaurid footprints.

[4] Deinonychosaurian theropods, especially members of the family Dromaeosauridae, are known for their recurved, sickle-shaped claw on the second toe being held off the ground, and thus not preserved in the trackway.

[1] With the comparative dataset of 17 microraptorine specimens, Dececchi et al. (2024) estimated the hip height of the paratype trackmaker up to 4.75 cm (1.87 in) tall.

[8] It wasn't assigned to a specific ichnofamily until Tsukiji et al. (2021) tentatively included it within Dromaeopodidae, with this ichnotaxon also showing a fast gait indicated in dromaeosaurid tracks.

[10] In the same year, Dececchi and colleagues favored the microraptorine interpretation for the trackmaker of Dromaeosauriformipes based on the paratype Trackway 2 showing indirect evidence of pre-avian flight behavior.

[7] The describers of Dromaeosauriformipes suggested that its trackmaker might have been piscivorous based on its association with lakeshore sediments and fish scales found in the stomach contents of the presumably related Microraptor.

[1][11] Microraptorines were probably opportunistic carnivores, with the stomach contents of Microraptor showing direct dietary evidence of either predation or scavenging of other vertebrates including small mammals, enantiornitheans and lizards.
