Climatic Niche Modelling Reveals Limited Phylogenetic Niche Conservatism in New World Crocodylians
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Phylogenetic niche conservatism, the tendency of closely related species to retain ancestral ecological traits, has gained considerable interest, yet the lack of integration across independent evaluation methods has hindered our understanding of whether niches are conserved or dynamic.

Embryological development of Caiman latirostris (Crocodylia: Alligatoridae) [PDF]
genesis, 2008 AbstractA standard development embryological series is the primary basis to organize information of any embryological study and is also used to determine the age of eggs and embryos in field conditions. In this article, we calibrate developmental series of the broad‐snouted caiman, Caiman latirostris, against an established series for Alligator ...
