Early Miocene gastropod and ectothermic vertebrate remains from the Lesvos Petrified Forest (Greece) [PDF]
, 2017 The Lesvos Petrified Forest (western Lesvos, Greece) has long been famous for its plant fossils. Recently, one proboscidean (from the Gavathas locality) and seven micromammalian species (from the Lapsarna locality) were described; these were the first

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 442-463, September 2025.In this study, we analyze the conservation status of Ethiopia's amphibian and reptile diversity in terms of coverage with protected areas and global representation in conservation breeding facilities. We identify conservation gaps and suggest priorities for improvement.

Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e StratigrafiaIn the present work we describe the palaeoherpetofaunal remains from the Crevillente 2 (MN11) and Crevillente 15 (MN12) sites (Crevillente, Alicante, Spain), which is a key area for understanding the faunal turnovers during the Late Miocene. Crevillente

Effects of Incubation and Rearing Temperatures on Caiman latirostris Growth [PDF]
, 2010 Different studies found that incubation temperature has an influence on the size of Caiman latirostris hatchlings and determines their gonadal sex. Experimental manipulations revealed that the effects of temperature on growth are independent of sex ...

Osteology and cranial musculature of Caiman latirostris (crocodylia: Alligatoridae)
Journal of Morphology, 2011 AbstractCaiman latirostris Daudin is one of the extant species of Caimaninae alligatorids characterized taxonomically only by external morphological features. In the present contribution, we describe the cranial osteology and myology of this species and its morphological variation. Several skull dissections and comparisons with other caimans were made.

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 5, September 2025.Many populations of species belonging to the order Crocodilia are threatened due to illegal trafficking, indiscriminate hunting, and habitat loss and degradation affecting crocodilian health and parasitic load. Although several studies have revealed that crocodiles, caimans, and alligators are frequently infected by Hepatozoon spp., the results from ...

Improved mitochondrial amino acid substitution models for metazoan evolutionary studies [PDF]
, 2017 Background Amino acid substitution models play an essential role in inferring phylogenies from mitochondrial protein data. However, only few empirical models have been estimated from restricted mitochondrial protein data of a hundred species.

The osteohistology of Orthosuchus stormbergi using synchrotron radiation microcomputed tomography
Journal of Anatomy, Volume 247, Issue 3-4, Page 587-607, September/October 2025.The osteohistology of Orthosuchus stormbergi is described for the first time. The primary bone tissue was lamellar bone. It had relatively thick bone walls, possibly indicating an aquatic lifestyle. Orthosuchus was a small bodied adult reaching a maximum body mass of about 1.2 kg.
