Molecular mechanism of Chinese alligator ( Alligator sinensis ) adapting to hibernation
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, 2020Abstract Hibernation is a physiological state for Chinese alligators to cope with cold weather. In mammals, gene expression changes during hibernation and their regulatory mechanisms have been extensively studied, however, these studies in reptiles are still rare.

A bacterial artificial chromosome library for the Chinese alligator (Alligator sinensis)
Gene, 2012Chinese alligator (Alligator sinensis) is a rare and endangered species endemic to China. To better understand genetic details of the Chinese alligator genomic structure, a highly redundant bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library was constructed.

Growth rates of Chinese and American alligators
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Molecular & Integrative Physiology, 2002Growth rates in two closely related species, Alligator mississippiensis (American alligator) and Alligator sinensis (Chinese alligator), were compared under identical conditions for at least 1 year after hatching. When hatched, Chinese alligators were approximately 2/3 the length and approximately 1/2 the weight of American alligator hatchlings. At the

Acoustic signals of Chinese alligators (Alligator sinensis): Social communication
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2007This paper reports the first systematic study of acoustic signals during social interactions of the Chinese alligator (Alligator sinensis). Sound pressure level (SPL) measurements revealed that Chinese alligators have an elaborate acoustic communication system with both long-distance signal—bellowing—and short-distance signals that include tooting ...

Lipids from the paracloacal glands of the chinese alligator (Alligator sinensis)
Lipids, 1993AbstractLipids from the paracloacal glands of adult Chinese alligators (Alligator sinensis) were analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Acetates, aliphatic alcohols, free fatty acids and waxes consisting primarily of hexadecanoates were indicated in the secretions of males and females.

Heavy Metal Distribution in Tissues and Eggs of Chinese Alligator (Alligator sinensis)
Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2006Chinese alligator (Alligator sinensis) is a critically endangered species endemic to China. Concentrations of heavy metals (As, Fe, Mn, Cu, Pb, Cd, Cr, Zn, and Hg) were examined in the tissues of Chinese alligators to elucidate the background distribution of these metals in the alligator body.

Eleven novel microsatellite markers for the Chinese alligator (Alligator sinensis)
Conservation Genetics, 2008Chinese alligator (Alligator sinensis) is a critically endangered species endemic to China. In this study, we developed 11 novel microsatellite loci for this rare species and applied them to examine genetic variation of indigenous alligators from Changxing Nature Reserve and America-born Chinese alligators.

Reproductive Ecology of the Chinese Alligator (Alligator sinensis) and Implications for Conservation
Journal of Herpetology, 2001The Chinese alligator is one of the world's most critically endangered reptiles. Although there is a relatively large captive population, in the wild small groups of alligators are limited to a few small ponds in an agricultural landscape in southeastern Anhui Province. As part of an effort to develop plans for the conservation of Chinese alligators in

Isolation of polymorphic microsatellite loci from the Chinese alligator (Alligator sinensis)
Molecular Ecology Resources, 2009AbstractTen microsatellite loci were isolated from the Chinese alligator (Alligator sinensis), using a partial genomic DNA library and an enrichment method. Fifty microsatellite repeats were screened from the library of 888 positive clones, 10 of which were polymorphic. These microsatellite loci developed here are another set of novel molecular markers

Occurrence of Decabromodiphenyl Ethane in Captive Chinese Alligators (Alligator sinensis) from China
Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2014Decabromodiphenyl ethane (DBDPE), a replacement for decabromodiphenyl ether (deca-BDE), was investigated in captive Chinese alligators from China. DBDPE was detected in adult tissues, neonates and eggs of Chinese alligators with concentrations ranging from 4.74-192, 0.24-1.94, and 0.01-0.51 ng g(-1) lipid weight, respectively.
