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.

Strong purifying selection in endogenous retroviruses in the saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) in the Northern Territory of Australia

Mobile DNA, 2012
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,

Rhabdomyosarcoma in a Texas Gopher Tortoise (Gopherus berlandieri). Case Report

Case Reports in Veterinary Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
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

Biotic and abiotic factors driving the diversification dynamics of Crocodylia

, 2019
Species diversity patterns are governed by complex interactions among biotic and abiotic factors over time and space, but are essentially the result of the diversification dynamics (differential speciation and extinction rates) over the long-term ...
