Stimulus discrimination and surface wave source localization in Crocodilians.
Zoology, 2020Juvenile Nile crocodiles (Crocodylus niloticus) and spectacled caimans (Caiman crocodilus) use water surface waves for the detection of prey, usually insects trapped at the water surface.

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.

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.

Molecular Genetics and Genomics, 1993 Individual-specific DNA fingerprints of crocodilians were obtained by the use of Bkm-2(8) probe. Pedigree analyses of Crocodylus palustris, C. porosus and Caiman crocodilus revealed that the multiple bands (22-23 bands with Aludigest) thus obtained were ...

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

The control of pathogens that target crocodilian skin is essential to the long-term success and sustainability of intensive farming operations worldwide. To understand the impact these pathogens may have on the skin, a brief overview of skin histology is

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 ...

Anatomy of the crocodilian spinal vein
Journal of Morphology, 2003AbstractThe crocodilian spinal vein is remarkably robust yet historically overlooked. Using corrosion casting, we describe the anatomy of this vessel and its connections with the caval and hepatic venous systems in representatives from four crocodilian genera.

Applied Herpetology, 2003
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.

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 ...
