Baraminic analysis of Crocodylia based on mitochondrial DNA similarity [PDF]
, 2023 Crocodiles, alligators, caimans, and gharials are interesting reptiles that are distinctly different from all other reptiles. These animals can be classified into three families within the order Crocodylia: Alligatoridae (alligators and caimans ...

An expanded combined evidence approach to the Gavialis problem using geometric morphometric data from crocodylian braincases and Eustachian systems. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The phylogenetic position of the Indian gharial (Gavialis gangeticus) is disputed--morphological characters place Gavialis as the sister to all other extant crocodylians, whereas molecular and combined analyses find Gavialis and the false gharial ...

Allodaposuchus palustris sp. nov. from the upper cretaceous of Fumanya (South-Eastern Pyrenees, Iberian Peninsula): systematics, palaeoecology and palaeobiogeography of the enigmatic allodaposuchian crocodylians. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The controversial European genus Allodaposuchus is currently composed of two species (A. precedens, A. subjuniperus) and it has been traditionally considered a basal eusuchian clade of crocodylomorphs. In the present work, the new species A. palustris is

Role of Chromosome Changes in Evolution and Diversity [PDF]
Genomics & Informatics, 2015 The karyotypes of most species of crocodilians were studied using conventional and molecular cytogenetics. These provided an important contribution of chromosomal rearrangements for the evolutionary processes of Crocodylia and Sauropsida (birds and ...

A three-dimensional geometric morphometric analysis of the morphological transformation of Caiman lower jaw during post-hatching ontogeny [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Shape ontogenetic changes of the lower jaw in crocodylians are poorly understood. In order to answer some questions related to the inter- and intraspecific morphological variation of the mandible of two extant Caiman species, we performed a three ...
