Isotope incorporation in broad-snouted caimans (crocodilians)
Biology Open, 2013 Summary The trophic ecology and migration of vertebrate species have been increasingly studied using stable isotope analysis. However, this approach requires knowledge on how dietary isotopic values are reflected in consumers' tissues.

Science and conservation of Amazonian crocodilians: a historical review
Aquatic conservation, 2021 Crocodilians represent one of the oldest extant vertebrate lineages. They have co‐existed with humans throughout the Amazon basin for thousands of years, often having a strong cultural and economic influence on people's lives.

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2021 Background: The outflow tract of crocodilians resembles that of birds and mammals as ventricular septation is complete. The arterial anatomy, however, presents with a pulmonary trunk originating from the right ventricular cavum, and two aortas ...

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2020 Background The origin of turtles and crocodiles and their easily recognized body forms dates to the Triassic and Jurassic. Despite their long-term success, extant species diversity is low, and endangerment is extremely high compared to other terrestrial ...

Can Xenobiotics Alter the Sex Ratio of Crocodilians in the Wild?
Sexual Development, 2021 All crocodilians exhibit temperature-dependent sex determination without sex chromosomes. This temperature dependency can be overridden by exposure to estrogen via estrogen receptor 1.

The evolution of crocodilian nesting ecology and behavior
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Crocodilians comprise an ancient and successful lineage of archosaurs that repeatedly raises questions on how they survived a mass extinction and remained relatively unchanged for ~100 million years.
