Nesting Ecology of the American Crocodile in the Coastal Zone of Belize

Copeia, 2000
Abstract We conducted a study of American Crocodile nesting ecology in coastal Belize from June 1996 to July 1997. Most nesting areas were found on elevated beach ridges composed of coarse sand. Shallow, brackish lagoons adjacent to nesting areas provide critical nursery habitat for hatchlings.

Sodium balance in the hatchling American crocodile, Crocodylus acutus

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 1977
Abstract 1. 1. In fresh water the hatchling American crocodile, Crocodylus acutus , has a Na efflux rate of 2.5μM·100g −1 ·hr −1 , of which 69% is from the head, neck and forelimbs; 12% is from the body, hindlimbs and tail and 19% is from the cloaca. 2. 2.

Identification and characterization of serum complement activity in the American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus)

Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology, 2010
Incubation of unsensitized sheep red blood cells with serum from the American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus) resulted in a concentration-dependent hemolysis. The hemolytic activity was heat-sensitive, and inhibited by EDTA in a concentration-dependent manner. The EDTA-inhibited SRBC hemolysis could be restored by the addition of excess Ca2+ or Mg2+, but

Genetic characterization of captive Cuban crocodiles (Crocodylus rhombifer) and evidence of hybridization with the American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus)

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological Genetics and Physiology, 2008
AbstractThere is a surprising lack of genetic data for the Cuban crocodile (Crocodylus rhombifer), especially given its status as a critically endangered species. Samples from captive individuals were used to genetically characterize this species in comparison with other New World crocodilians.
