A bacterial artificial chromosome library for the Chinese alligator (Alligator sinensis)

Gene, 2012
Chinese 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, 2002
Growth 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

Eleven novel microsatellite markers for the Chinese alligator (Alligator sinensis)

Conservation Genetics, 2008
Chinese 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.

Lipids from the paracloacal glands of the chinese alligator (Alligator sinensis)

Lipids, 1993
AbstractLipids 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.

The first report of Cryptosporidium testudinis in Chinese alligators (Alligator sinensis) in China

Parasitology Research, 2020
Several Cryptosporidium species that infect reptiles, especially squamates, are well described, but there is limited data about Cryptosporidium species infecting crocodilians. In this study, we assess the occurrence of intestinal parasites using traditional microscopic examination and describe the prevalence and Cryptosporidium species in the captive ...

Occurrence of Decabromodiphenyl Ethane in Captive Chinese Alligators (Alligator sinensis) from China

Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2014
Decabromodiphenyl 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.

Isolation of polymorphic microsatellite loci from the Chinese alligator (Alligator sinensis)

Molecular Ecology Resources, 2009
AbstractTen 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

Heavy Metal Distribution in Tissues and Eggs of Chinese Alligator (Alligator sinensis)

Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2006
Chinese 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.

Why do Chinese alligators (Alligator sinensis) form bellowing choruses: A playback approach

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2009
Crocodilians are quite vocal relative to other reptile groups, and the alligators are among the most vocal of the crocodilians. The Chinese alligator, Alligator sinensis, is usually solitary but engages in bellowing choruses in certain waters during the mating season.

Reproductive Ecology of the Chinese Alligator (Alligator sinensis) and Implications for Conservation

Journal of Herpetology, 2001
The 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
