A Taxa de conversão do alimento (FCR) do Caiman latirostris é mais eficiente a temperaturas mais elevadas [PDF]
, 2009 The effects of temperature on the growth of Caiman latirostris were investigated in order to evaluate the efficiency of food conversion at 29 and 33°C. Sixty-eight captive raised animals, two months old, taken from four nests, were used.

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Lions (Panthera leo) are apex predators with a well‐documented influence on ecological dynamics, yet their potential role as bone‐accumulating agents remains poorly understood and often debated. Previous taphonomic studies have largely attributed bone accumulations in African savannah ecosystems to other carnivores, such as spotted hyenas ...

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.Abstract Background Gastrolith ingestion is a known inherent behaviour in crocodiles. However, the interpretation of coelomic radiographs in crocodilians is challenging due to the limited informative literature in this field. Methods Dorsoventral coelomic radiographs of 49 juvenile saltwater crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus) were acquired twice, with an ...

Island‐restricted reptiles are more threatened but less studied than their mainland counterparts
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Reptiles are highly diverse on islands, yet there is no comprehensive overview of island‐restricted reptiles (IRRs) regarding their distribution, threat status, and research efforts. Our assessment revealed that despite IRRs comprising nearly a quarter of global reptile species and 30.8% being threatened, only 7.2% of the literature focuses on them ...

Clustering crocodylian dental morphology: Insights into functional adaptations, diet, and ontogeny
Journal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 1, Page 1-17, January 2026.Extant crocodylians may be divided into five clusters based on the residuals of four linear dental measurements (y‐axes) and their variation along the jaw (x‐axes). These clusters correlate to snout shape, prey preference, and feeding ecology, particularly prey size and the degree of processing necessary. Multiple families and subfamilies were found in
