Trifold origin of the reptilian ear ossicle and its relation to the evolutionary modification of the temporal skull region. [PDF]
J AnatThe columella‐complex in reptile middle ears involves the footplate, columella shaft, and extracolumella. The latter is partly of quadrate developmental origin, whereas the footplate derives from the mesodermal otic capsule, the shaft and another part of the extracolumella from the hyoid arch.

Clustering crocodylian dental morphology: Insights into functional adaptations, diet, and ontogeny. [PDF]
J AnatExtant 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

Broad snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) growth under different rearing densities [PDF]
Aquaculture, 2008 Abstract The effect of density on growth in body mass (BM) and total length (TL) of Caiman latirostris hatchlings raised in small pens (area 0.36 m2), for 3 months, was investigated. Twelve animals from each of three clutches were randomly distributed (1, 2 or 3 individuals) to two replicates at low rearing density (LRD: 0.12 m2/individual), medium ...
