Use of Blood Lactate in Assessment of Manual Capture Techniques of Zoo-Housed Crocodilians
Animals, 2022 Species-specific welfare indicators are important in promoting positive welfare for zoo animals. Reptiles are a notoriously understudied group in regards to behavior, welfare needs, and husbandry requirements. Using opportunistically obtained samples, we

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.

Anthropogenic impacts on threatened species erode functional diversity in chelonians and crocodilians [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2023 Many species of reptiles are threatened with extinction. This analysis on 259 species of turtles, tortoises and crocodilians identifies anthropogenic threats that disproportionally affect species with certain life history strategies and others that ...

Coupled ears in lizards and crocodilians [PDF]
Biological Cybernetics, 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. Crocodilian ears are connected through sinuses, and thus less tightly coupled.

Human-wildlife conflicts with crocodilians, cetaceans and otters in the tropics and subtropics [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Conservation of freshwater biodiversity and management of human-wildlife conflicts are major conservation challenges globally. Human-wildlife conflict occurs due to attacks on people, depredation of fisheries, damage to fishing equipment and entanglement

Native and Nonnative Crocodilians of Florida
EDIS, 2013 Florida has two native species of crocodilians, the American alligator and the American crocodile. These federally protected species are easily confused with nonnative crocodilians found in south Florida, such as the spectacled caiman and the Nile ...

Crocodilians are promising intermediate model organisms for comparative perception research
Comparative Cognition & Behavior Reviews, 2020 Crocodilians are the closest living relatives of birds and share many ecological challenges with mammalian apex predators. They evolved perception pathways that share similarities with both taxa, birds and mammals.

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
