Oogenesis and germinal bed morphology of the brown anole (A. sagrei)
Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Background The brown anole is a model species of the genus Anolis, a squamate (encompassing lizards and snakes) group widely studied in evolutionary, behavioral, and developmental biology. Full genome annotation, the establishment of gene editing techniques, and comprehensive description of reproductive tract morphology and embryogenesis in ...

Captive Breeding of the Chinese Alligator Reduces Inbreeding but Increases Genetic Load
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Captive breeding of the Chinese alligator successfully reduced genomic inbreeding but increased the burden of deleterious mutations. Genomic analyses indicate that managing both genetic diversity and genetic load is essential for the long‐term conservation of this critically endangered species.

A chimeric vaccine protects farmed saltwater crocodiles from West Nile virus-induced skin lesions
npj Vaccines, 2023 West Nile virus (WNV) causes skin lesions in farmed crocodiles leading to the depreciation of the value of their hides and significant economic losses. However, there is no commercially available vaccine designed for use in crocodilians against WNV.

Why the long face? The mechanics of mandibular symphysis proportions in crocodiles. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Crocodilians exhibit a spectrum of rostral shape from long snouted (longirostrine), through to short snouted (brevirostrine) morphologies. The proportional length of the mandibular symphysis correlates consistently with rostral shape, forming as much as ...

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.ABSTRACT One core aspect of science is communication, both among researchers as well as with the public. For successful communication, it is crucial that the terminology used is clear to avoid misunderstandings. Especially when researchers working on different groups of organisms communicate, they often use different terms for similar morphological ...

Diets of Amazonian crocodilians
, 1987 Caiman crocodilus, Melanosuchus niger and Paleosuchus palpebrosus, which occur around rivers and lakes, have similar diets: small individuals eat invertebrates and large individuals eat invertebrates and fish.

Anatomy of spinal CSF loss in the American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis)
Journal of Anatomy, Volume 246, Issue 4, Page 575-584, April 2025.India ink introduced into the cranial cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) compartment of Alligator diffuses along the spinal cord and exits the spinal compartment using perineural flow, resulting in a prominent “ink cuff” forming at the base of the spinal nerve. In Alligator, the region of the ink cuff is drained by a small lymphatic vessel.

Parentage test in broad-snouted caimans (Caiman latirostris, Crocodylidae) using microsatellite DNA
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2009 In this study, microsatellite markers, developed for Alligator mississipiensis and Caiman latirostris, were used to assess parentage among individuals from the captive colony of Caiman latirostris at the University of São Paulo, in Piracicaba, São Paulo,
