Shifts in the foraging tactics of crocodiles following invasion by toxic prey

Scientific Reports, 2022
Biological invasions can modify the behaviour of vulnerable native species in subtle ways. For example, native predators may learn or evolve to reduce foraging in conditions (habitats, times of day) that expose them to a toxic invasive species.

Negative human–crocodile interactions in Kariba, Zimbabwe: data to support potential mitigation strategies

Oryx, 2023
Interactions between people and wild animals often result in negative impacts, and different views on the management of such interactions can lead to conflicts.

Estimating population status and site occupancy of saltwater crocodiles Crocodylus porosus in the Ayeyarwady delta, Myanmar: Inferences from spatial modeling techniques

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020
Saltwater crocodiles Crocodylus porosus are listed as critically endangered in Myanmar because they are limited to Meinmahlakyun Wildlife Sanctuary (MKWS) in the Ayeyarwady delta region.

Cave-dwelling crocodiles of Central Belize

International Journal of Speleology, 2023
We provide the results on the first systematic effort to study cave-dwelling crocodiles in central Belize. For nearly three decades, managers at Runaway Creek Nature Reserve have frequently observed crocodile tracks and trackways in caves, while ...

A modified biopsy needle with pole for repeatable tissue extraction from free‐ranging crocodiles

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2019
Biopsy sampling is a powerful tool for furthering our understanding of animal populations. Knowledge of diets and trophic energy flows, genetic structure and connectivity between populations, and uptake of environmental contaminants can all be elucidated

Continuous‐Flow Microfluidic Synthesis Enhances C2+ Selectivity for Cu2O Catalysts

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Microfluidic devices are used to prepare Cu2O nanoparticles under laminar flow conditions, which exhibit enhanced selectivity in the CO2‐to‐C2+ reaction due to their nanoporosity and high defect concentration. Cu2O prepared using standard solution methods displays decreased CO2‐to‐C2+ selectivity due to the absence of similar properties. Altogether, we

Aceleași ape tulburi ale istoriei. Despre rinoceri și crocodili într-o lectură biopolitică / The same troubled waters of history: Rhinoceros and crocodiles in a biopolitical reading

Swedish Journal of Romanian Studies
In this article, we propose a comparative analysis of the political imaginary in Eugène Ionesco’s Rhinoceros and the (political) figures of crocodiles in Matei Vișniec’s The Moon’s Consulate or Adelina and the Swamp Crocodiles.

Movement and Home Range of Nile Crocodiles in Ndumo Game Reserve, South Africa

Koedoe: African Protected Area Conservation and Science, 2015
The study of movement patterns and home range is fundamental in understanding the spatial requirements of animals and is important in generating information for the conservation and management of threatened species.
