Crocodylian nuclear factor kappa B
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2017We deduced the amino acid (aa) sequence of the nuclear factor kappa B (NFκB) protein from genomic data for the American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis), the estuarine crocodile (Crocodylus porosus), and the Indian gharial (Gavialis gangeticus).

Taxonomic overview of Neogene crocodylians in Myanmar
Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, 2020Although Neogene crocodylians were well documented from Indo-Pakistan, few fossils were known from Southeast Asia, precluding the understanding of their evolutionary and biogeographic history.

Biology and evolution of crocodylians
Historical Biology, 2017Following recognition that birds most probably constitute a clade within the more inclusive clade of dinosaurs, considerable Interest has focused on light the biology of birds might shed on that of...

Regional conservation priorities for crocodylians in Bolivia
Journal for Nature Conservation, 2019Abstract Crocodylians are large predators and ecological keystone species in wetland ecosystems. In Bolivia a total of five species occur, all of which are members of the family Alligatoridae: Caiman yacare, C. latirostris, Melanosuchus niger, Paleosuchus palpebrosus, and P. trigonatus.

Zootaxa, 2019
The crocodylomorph fauna of the Cenozoic of South America is one of the richest and most diverse in the world. The most diverse group within that fauna is Alligatoroidea, with nearly all of its species belonging to the Caimaninae clade. Many of the fossil alligatoroid species from the Cenozoic of South America were proposed based on very incomplete ...

Abstract Crocodylia includes the alligators, caimans, crocodiles, and gharials found throughout the world’s tropics (Fig. 1). Twenty-three living species are currently recognized (1), though some probably represent cryptic species complexes (2–4).

Fragmentary fossils from northwestern Puerto Rico document the existence of crocodyliforms during the Late Oligocene and Early Miocene. The remains are insufficient to establish new named species, but they are inconsistent with any other crocodylian known from the western hemisphere during the Cenozoic, including extant Alligator and Crocodylus.

Schwimmer offers a study of the paleoautecology of a Cretaceous crocodylian, Deinosuchus. Thoughtfully organized, the book's chapter headings reflect answers to some basic questions: How big was it? How old was it? Where was it found? What did it eat? How many species existed?

Modern cryptic species and crocodylian diversity in the fossil record
Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2020AbstractAdvances in molecular biology and genetics are revealing that many recognized crocodylian species are complexes of two or more cryptic species. These discoveries will have a profound impact on interpretation of the crocodyliform fossil record. Our understanding of ranges of intraspecific variation in modern crocodylian morphology may be based ...

Occurrence of Amblyomma dissimile on wild crocodylians in southern Mexico
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2016Ticks are common ectoparasites of amphibians and reptiles but very few reports of such parasites on crocodylians exist worldwide. Herein, we report the first detailed observations of Amblyomma dissimile Koch, 1844 on the 3 crocodylian species present in Mexico, with the first report of tick parasitism on Crocodylus acutus and the second on Caiman ...
