Oryx, 1981 The author, who is a scientist at the Zoological Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, describes the serious plight of China's endemic alligator. This last summer he was joined by an American research scientist, Dr Myrna E. Watanabe, in a further study of the alligator, and we hope to carry their report in a later issue.

Immunohistochemical Localization of Somatostatin in the Brain of Chinese Alligator Alligator sinensis [PDF]
The Anatomical Record, 2016 ABSTRACTIn this study, the regional distribution and histological localization of somatostatin (SS) immunoreactive (IR) perikarya and fibers was investigated for the first time in the brain of adult Chinese alligator by immunohistochemical method. The results showed SS‐IR perikarya and fibers were widely distributed in various parts of the brain except

MHC class I diversity predicts non-random mating in Chinese alligators (Alligator sinensis) [PDF]
Heredity, 2019 The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) has several important roles in kin recognition, pathogen resistance and mate selection. Research in fish, birds and mammals has suggested that individuals optimise MHC diversity, and therefore offspring fitness, when choosing mates.
