Influence of head morphology and natural postures on sound localization cues in crocodilians [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 As top predators, crocodilians have an acute sense of hearing that is useful for their social life and for probing their environment in hunting situations.

Sound categorization by crocodilians
iScience, 2023 Summary: Rapidly sorting the information contained in a stream of stimuli is a major challenge for animals. One cognitive mechanism for achieving this goal is categorization, where the receiving individual considers a continuous variation of a stimulus ...

Temperature-Dependent Sex Determination in Crocodilians and Climate Challenges [PDF]
AnimalsThe sex of crocodilians is determined by the temperature to which the eggs, and hence the developing embryo are exposed during critical periods of development.

The relative withdrawal of GFAP—An essential component of brain evolution [PDF]
Frontiers in NeuroanatomyThe glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is the principal intermediate filament protein and histochemical marker for astroglia. It appears contradictory that there are extended GFAP-poor or even GFAP-free areas in the brains of various vertebrate ...

Sedation and general anaesthesia of crocodilians: a systematic review [PDF]
Acta Veterinaria ScandinavicaSedation and general anaesthesia of crocodilians pose unique challenges due to their aggressive nature, poikilothermic physiology, and specific anatomical and physiological characteristics, all factors that complicate crocodilian anaesthesia. This review

Play Behavior in Crocodilians [PDF]
Animal Behavior and Cognition, 2015 Play behavior in crocodilians is not uncommon, but it remains virtually undescribed in scientific literature. I present the first overview of play behavior of three types (locomotor play, object play and social play) in crocodilians based on original ...

Putative avian teeth from the Late Cretaceous of Alberta, Canada, are more likely from crocodilians.
PLoS ONE, 2023 Isolated teeth, previously referred to Aves, are more common than other bird fossils from the Late Cretaceous of Alberta. However, there are no known morphological synapomorphies that distinguish isolated bird teeth, and features of these teeth are ...

Ontogenetic comparisons of standard metabolism in three species of crocodilians. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Due in part to their large size, aggressive temperament, and difficulty in handling, there are few physiological studies of adult crocodilians in the literature.
