Temperature-Dependent Sex Determination in Crocodilians and Climate Challenges
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.

Counting and Capturing Crocodilians
EDIS, 2005 With few exceptions, crocodilians must be counted and caught for studies of their ecology. Most methods of finding and catching crocodilians in use today are modifications of methods for harvesting crocodilians (Chabreck 1963; Jones 1966). These methods

Sex ratio of black caiman (Melanosuchus niger) hatchlings in a sample of the wild managed population from the Mamirauá Reserve, Central Amazon [PDF]
Acta AmazonicaSex determination in crocodilians is dependent on environmental temperature, in which extreme temperatures favor the development of females, while intermediate temperatures favor males.

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 ...

Volume of the crocodilian brain and endocast during ontogeny. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Understanding complex situations and planning difficult actions require a brain of appropriate size. Animal encephalisation provides an indirect information about these abilities.

Viruses, 2022 The risk of flavivirus infections among the crocodilian species was not recognised until West Nile virus (WNV) was introduced into the Americas. The first outbreaks caused death and substantial economic losses in the alligator farming industry.
