First Record of Triplet Embryos in Sea Turtles: Evidence of Natural Polyembryony in a Wild Green Turtle (Chelonia mydas) Nest From Guanahacabibes, Cuba

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
A rare case of polyembryonic triplets in a wild green turtle (Chelonia mydas) nest demonstrates how multiple embryos can develop within a single egg under natural conditions. Morphological and embryological evidence, including independent yolk vasculature and marked asymmetry among embryos, support a monozygotic origin and highlight developmental ...

Shifts in type 2 vomeronasal receptor expression during postnatal development in the lungfish olfactory organ

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 4, Page 978-986, October 2026.
Lungfish possess a lamellar OE and a primitive VNO called as a recess epithelium (RecE). Among the lungfish V2Rs expressed in both the lamellar OE and the RecE in small individuals, some became restricted to the RecE in large individuals. These results suggest functional separation between the lamellar OE and the RecE is still incomplete in juveniles ...

Frugivory and seed dispersal by crocodilians: an overlooked form of saurochory?

, 2020
Saurochory (seed dispersal by reptiles) among crocodilians has largely been ignored, probably because these reptiles are generally assumed to be obligate carnivores incapable of digesting vegetable proteins and polysaccharides.

Two complete mitochondrial genomes of Crocodylus and implications for crocodilians phylogeny

, 2010
The complete mitochondrial (mt) genomes of two crocodilians: Crocodylus palustris and Crocodylus mindorensis, were sequenced in order to examine their gene and genome features.

Data from: Vascular patterns in the heads of crocodilians: blood vessels and sites of thermal exchange

, 2016
Extant crocodilians are a highly apomorphic archosaur clade that is endothermic, yet often achieve large body sizes that can be subject to higher heat loads.

Coupled ears in lizards and crocodilians

, 2016
Lizard ears are coupled across the pharynx, and are very directional. In consequence all auditory responses should be directional, without a requirement for computation of sound source location.

Conquering the crush: A novel tool for holding crocodilian jaws open

Wildlife Society Bulletin
Crocodilians have diverse snout shapes ranging from the long, narrow snouts of the Indian gharial (Gavialis gangeticus) to the broad snout of the American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis).

Crocodilians and Colonization

Crocodilians exist all across the world, except for the poles and Europe. These generally large, predatory reptiles are ingrained in many of the cultures of the indigenous populations whom they share a home with. Indigenous cultures see them as spiritual

Sound localisation in crocodilians

, 2019
Les crocodiliens ont développé des capteurs très précis pour sonder leur environnement jusqu'à atteindre leur position de super prédateur. Ces capacités sensorielles sont primordiales en situation de chasse mais elles sont également nécessaires pour ...
