Journal of Anatomy, Volume 246, Issue 4, Page 558-574, April 2025.Here, we present the most complete dataset to date on the endosseous labyrinths of extant crocodylians. Using 3D geometric morphometrics, we show that allometry constitutes a major contributor of the shape variation of the crocodylian endosseous labyrinths and that the development of this structure is likely linked to the braincase conformation, in all

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.Leidyosuchus canadensis and Stangerochampsa mccabei share endocranial features such as posterior projection of a neurovascular canal in the maxilla and a paratympanic sinus system most similar to those of small‐bodied and young extant crocodylians, suggesting that these pedomorphic features may reflect the ancestral crocodylian condition.

Comparison of complement system activity amongst wild and domestic animals
Acta Herpetologica, 2020 Multiple mechanisms have evolved for the defensive recognition of foreign components, such as microorganisms. The majority of immunological studies with vertebrates have been focused on endothermic species, and relatively little attention has been ...

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1406-1462, June 2026.ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Effects of Incubation and Rearing Temperatures on Caiman latirostris Growth [PDF]
, 2010 Different studies found that incubation temperature has an influence on the size of Caiman latirostris hatchlings and determines their gonadal sex. Experimental manipulations revealed that the effects of temperature on growth are independent of sex ...

Aspectos ecológicos de la anidación de Caiman crocodilus chiapasius (Bocourt, 1876) en la reserva de la biosfera La Encrucijada, México [PDF]
, 2016 Existen pocos estudios sobre el caimán de anteojos, Caiman crocodilus chiapasius, realizados en México. En el presente estudio evaluamos las características clave de la ecología reproductiva del caimán en México. Se realizó una búsqueda de nidos entre

Regression equations between body and head measurements in the broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Biologia, 2000 In the present study, regression equations between body and head length measurements for the broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) are presented. Age and sex are discussed as sources of variation for allometric models. Four body-length, fourteen head-length, and ten ratio variables were taken from wild and captive animals.

A Survey of DNA Damage in American Alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) in Florida
Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis, Volume 67, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT The scientific concept of One Environmental Health is a research strategy focused on the study of toxicants, aiming to incorporate human, wildlife, and ecosystem health to establish a more comprehensive understanding of health. A One Environmental Health approach, studying the responses of American alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) that ...
