Status and conservation of the American crocodile, Crocodylus acutus, in Belize

Biological Conservation, 2000
The status of the American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus) in the coastal zone of Belize was investigated from July 1996 to October 1997. Two hundred and sixty-two crocodiles were observed during spotlight surveys of 952.2 km of the survey route (0.28 crocodiles/km). Encounter rates were highest in the TurneAe Atoll, and low to moderate elsewhere.

The Biology and Conservation Status of the American Crocodile in Colombia

Journal of Herpetology, 2015
Abstract Along with the Orinoco and Cuban Crocodiles (Crocodylus intermedius and Crocodylus rhombifer), the American Crocodile (Crocodylus acutus) is among the most threatened crocodylian species in the Americas. Although this species is distributed widely, its IUCN “threat category” in several countries is “of concern.” We review the literature ...

Tolerance of Sea Water by the American Crocodile, Crocodylus acutus

Journal of Herpetology, 1981
general. In sea water starved C. acutus lose weight as an inverse function of total body volume. Therefore large crocodiles are capable of prolonged substenance in marine environments, particularly if free water is gained from vertebrate prey in the diet.

Nonlinearities in mating sounds of American crocodiles

Biosystems, 2009
We use nonlinear time series analysis methods to analyze the dynamics of the sound-producing apparatus of the American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus). We capture its dynamics by analyzing a recording of the singing activity during mating time. First, we reconstruct the phase space from the sound recording and thereby reveal that the attractor needs no ...

The American Crocodile in Biscayne Bay, Florida

Estuaries and Coasts, 2011
Intensive crocodile monitoring programs conducted during the late 1970s and early 1980s in southern Florida resulted in an optimistic outlook for recovery of the protected species population. However, some areas with suitable crocodile habitat were not investigated, such as Biscayne Bay and the mainland shorelines of Barnes and Card Sounds.

The American Crocodile in Florida Bay

Estuaries, 1999
The American crocodile was declared endangered in the United States in 1975. At that time 75% of the remaining crocodile nests were in Everglades National Park, in Florida Bay. In 1980, the National Park Service established a crocodile sanctuary in northeastern Florida Bay to protect nesting and nursery habitat.
