Anatomical and histological analyses reveal that tail repair is coupled with regrowth in wild-caught, juvenile American alligators (Alligator mississippiensis)

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2020
Reptiles are the only amniotes that maintain the capacity to regenerate appendages. This study presents the first anatomical and histological evidence of tail repair with regrowth in an archosaur, the American alligator.

On a model mechanism for the spatial patterning of teeth primordia in the Alligator [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
We propose a model mechanism for the initiation and spatial positioning of teeth primordia in the alligator,Alligator mississippiensis. Detailed embryological studies by Westergaard & Ferguson (1986, 1987, 1990) show that jaw growth plays a crucial role ...

Microbiological Analysis of Alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) Meat

open access: yesJournal of Food Protection, 1981
The two tail muscles, ilio caudalis and ischio caudalis, along with hide surface areas from four alligators, Alligator mississippiensis , were evaluated for microbial numbers and types. Microbial analyses of hide surfaces yielded a mean aerobic plate count (APC, 35 C) of approximately 4.45 logs/cm2 at 35 C, and total coliform counts were low ...

Novel neuroanatomical integration and scaling define avian brain shape evolution and development

open access: yeseLife, 2021
How do large and unique brains evolve? Historically, comparative neuroanatomical studies have attributed the evolutionary genesis of highly encephalized brains to deviations along, as well as from, conserved scaling relationships among brain regions ...

Habitat Use of American Alligators in East Texas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) has made a remarkable recovery throughout its range during the last halfcentury. In Texas, USA, current inland alligator population and harvest management strategies rely on generalized and often site ...

Observations of an Alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) Nest and Behavior of Hatchlings in Clark County, with anecdotal observations of other Alligator Nests in Arkansas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Historically, the American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) ranged through southern and much of eastern Arkansas. By the early 1900s, alligator populations had declined due to unregulated hunting, commercial exploitation, and habitat loss. In 1961,
