This chapter focuses on crocodilians, including alligators and caimans. The Spectacled Caiman is a medium-sized alligatorid species. Although very wary by nature, it can nonetheless be a dangerous animal under the wrong circumstances. Populations of the Spectacled Caiman in the United States were derived from the pet trade.

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Exotic Animal Practice, 2001
With declining crocodilian populations worldwide, a greater interest in the conservation of these animals in the wild and in captivity is ongoing. This effort has created a demand for safe and effective ways to handle and immobilize crocodiles for transport and relocation.

Questions in Crocodilian Physiology
Zoologica Africana, 1975Morphologists, physiologists, behaviourists and ecologists have traditionally asked different and often mutually exclusive questions within their different conceptual frameworks. Only the concept of natural selection and the idea that the animals have been modified for one or another mode of life history provide a common denominator or common framework

Advancements in genomic techniques have greatly increased the scope of research into many aspects of crocodilian evolution and biology. As cold-blooded amniotes, crocodilians hold a unique evolutionary position for understanding all vertebrate lineages. Applying up-to-date genomic techniques to crocodilian genomes can have far-reaching implications for

Respiratory patterns in crocodilian reptiles
Respiration Physiology, 1970Abstract This paper describes the typical respiratory pattern of caimans and alligators and shows the great range of respiratory activity even in quiet, isolated caimans, with average ventilatory periods varying from 6–22 sec in length and consisting of an average of from 1–5 breaths, and nonventilatory periods averaging from 13 sec-3 min in length ...

OSMOREGULATION IN CROCODILIANS
Biological Reviews, 1988Summary1. The osmoregulatory strategies of crocodilians in both saline and fresh‐water environments are discussed and dissected into their separate components.2. Contrasts between members of the Alligatoridae and the Crocodylinae emerge repeatedly in aspects such as integumental permeabilities, functioning of the renal/cloacal system, and the presence ...

Electrocardiogram of the Crocodilian Heart
Nature, 1951As part of an investigation of the histology and functional anatomy of the crocodilian heart, electrocardiograms of the heart in intact animals (Nile crocodiles) were recorded. Part of a tracing, using the standard lead, throat to abdomen, is shown in Fig. 1.

Allosteric regulation of crocodilian haemoglobin
Nature, 1981The oxygen affinity of most vertebrate haemoglobins in the absence of diffusible electrolytes is much higher than that of blood. In the red cell this affinity is lowered by organic phosphates, hydrogen ions, chloride ions and CO2 (refs 1–5). Similarly, crocodilian haemoglobin also has a much higher oxygen affinity than crocodile blood, but this is due ...

All species of crocodilians are long-lived, top-level carnivores that are integral components of aquatic, wetland, and marine/estuarine ecosystems. However, they are often excluded from studies on environmental contamination and ecological risk assessments.
