Abstract Assessing the true dimension of biodiversity is a major challenge. Many species hide within them a diversity that is now being uncovered using molecular data. However, population genetic studies tend to be resource‐consuming and more difficult to apply to a broader range of taxa, limiting scalability.

Quantitative heterodonty in Crocodylia: assessing size and shape across modern and extinct taxa [PDF]
Heterodonty in Crocodylia and closely related taxa has not been defined quantitatively, as the teeth rarely have been measured. This has resulted in a range of qualitative descriptors, with little consensus on the condition of dental morphology in the ...

A Taxa de conversão do alimento (FCR) do Caiman latirostris é mais eficiente a temperaturas mais elevadas [PDF]
The effects of temperature on the growth of Caiman latirostris were investigated in order to evaluate the efficiency of food conversion at 29 and 33°C. Sixty-eight captive raised animals, two months old, taken from four nests, were used.

Background Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are remnants of exogenous retroviruses that have integrated into the nuclear DNA of a germ-line cell. Here we present the results of a survey into the ERV complement of Crocodylus porosus, the saltwater crocodile,

True and False Gharials: A Nuclear Gene Phylogeny of Crocodylia [PDF]
The phylogeny of Crocodylia offers an unusual twist on the usual molecules versus morphology story. The true gharial (Gavialis gangeticus) and the false gharial (Tomistoma schlegelii), as their common names imply, have appeared in all cladistic morphological analyses as distantly related species, convergent upon a similar morphology.

Rhabdomyosarcoma in a Texas Gopher Tortoise (Gopherus berlandieri). Case Report
Rhabdomyosarcomas are rarely reported in reptiles, and this is, to the authors′ knowledge, the second one described in a tortoise. A male captive terrestrial tortoise of at least 11 years of age (Gopherus berlandieri) was presented with a reddened growth of the distal aspect of the right posterior limb, measuring approximately 4.5 cm. The affected limb

Anatomy, morphology and evolution of the patella in squamate lizards and tuatara (Sphenodon punctatus) [PDF]
The patella (kneecap) is the largest and best-known of the sesamoid bones, postulated to confer biomechanical advantages including increasing joint leverage and reinforcing the tendon against compression.
