Sound localisation in crocodilians
, 2020 International audienceCrocodilians, as other Archosaurs (including birds and dinosaurs), use sounds to communicate. To support acoustic communication, they have to analyse their acoustic environment and to localise all sound sources.

Tourism Value of Crocodilians: The Black Caiman (Melanosuchus niger) as a Case Study
, 2021 Wildlife tourism, including tourism involving large predators, is a rapidly growing industry that can generate many conservation and economic benefits. Monetary values can be derived for populations of large predators, and even individuals, on the basis ...

Crocodilians Are Promising Intermediate Model Organisms for Comparative Perception Research
, 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.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Osteohistological sampling on different bones of theropod dinosaur documents discrepant age record, growth, and metabolism. This could result unprecise paleobiological inferences if samplings are based on single bones. However, multi‐bone sampling can attenuate these discrepancies, helping to infer growth dynamics and physiology of these extinct ...

Gonadal development in scorpion mud‐turtles, Kinosternon scorpioides, in a controlled environment
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Stage 20 was identified as the critical point for gonadal differentiation in Kinosternon scorpioides, providing key insights into sex determination. These findings enhance conservation strategies by supporting reproductive management and population viability in both in situ and ex situ programs. Abstract Research on gonadal development including sexual

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Differences in skull and tooth morphology, stomach contents, and estimated bite force between medium‐to‐large sized (≥100 kg) predatory theropod dinosaurs have long been suspected to correlate with differences in their diets and dietary guilds (e.g., hypercarnivory, piscivory).

Clade‐wide morphological and functional variation of the sauropsid columella
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The columella (=stapes) is the middle ear bone of reptiles that transmits vibrations from the environment to the inner ear. It has been shown to exhibit extensive interspecific morphological disparity in several clades; however, its morphological variation and associated functional consequences remain poorly described.
