Gharial (Gavialis gangeticus, Gmelin 1789) Beyond Protected Areas of Nepal: Population, Reproduction, and Seasonal Migration of Gharial in the Karnali River and Its Tributaries

Ecology and Evolution
Habitats beyond protected areas are essential for crocodilian conservation, as many species utilize these extended habitats for basking, nesting, foraging, and seasonal movements.

Skin Microbiota Was Altered in Crocodile Lizards (Shinisaurus crocodilurus) With Skin Ulcer

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
Skin diseases commonly affect reptiles, but their relationships to the closely related skin microbiome are not well-understood. In recent years, both the wild and captive populations of the crocodile lizard, a Class I protected endangered animal in China,

Nucleic Acid Preservation Card Surveillance Is Effective for Monitoring Arbovirus Transmission on Crocodile Farms and Provides a One Health Benefit to Northern Australia

Viruses, 2022
The Kunjin strain of West Nile virus (WNVKUN) is a mosquito-transmitted flavivirus that can infect farmed saltwater crocodiles in Australia and cause skin lesions that devalue the hides of harvested animals.

Environmental drivers of body size evolution in crocodile-line archosaurs

Communications Biology, 2021
Ever since Darwin, biologists have debated the relative roles of external and internal drivers of large-scale evolution. The distributions and ecology of living crocodilians are controlled by environmental factors such as temperature. Crocodilians have a

Paleogenomics illuminates the evolutionary history of the extinct Holocene “horned” crocodile of Madagascar, Voay robustus

Communications Biology, 2021
Ancient DNA is transforming our ability to reconstruct historical patterns and mechanisms shaping modern diversity and distributions. In particular, molecular data from extinct Holocene island faunas have revealed surprising biogeographic scenarios. Here,

Musculoskeletal modelling of the Nile crocodile (Crocodylus niloticus) hindlimb: Effects of limb posture on leverage during terrestrial locomotion

Journal of Anatomy, 2021
We developed a three‐dimensional, computational biomechanical model of a juvenile Nile crocodile (Crocodylus niloticus) pelvis and hindlimb, composed of 47 pelvic limb muscles, to investigate muscle function. We tested whether crocodiles, which are known

Human–crocodilian interactions in Latin America and the Caribbean region

Conservation Science and Practice, 2021
Mitigating harmful interactions with wildlife requires an understanding of the interactions between predators, domesticated animals and humans. Large‐scale transformations of crocodilian habitats across the Latin America and Caribbean region, alongside ...

Evaluating the Effect of Visitor Presence on Nile Crocodile (Crocodylus niloticus) Behavior

Journal of Zoological and Botanical Gardens, 2021
Visitor presence has been shown to affect the behavior of animals in zoos. However, studies to date have not included a wide range of taxonomic groupings, and thus, the effect is poorly understood for many species.
