Epidermal scale growth, allometry and function in non-avian dinosaurs and extant reptiles. [PDF]

J Anat
Scale shapes in non‐avian dinosaurs and extant reptiles are mostly retained through growth. However, positive scale allometry and proportional differences in scale breadth are also detected, which are likely associated with changing body proportions. Based on their generally conserved morphology and impracticality for visual display, the enlarged size ...

Trait‐based range expansion aided in the global radiation of Crocodylidae

Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2019
AbstractAimAlmost half of the extant species of Crocodylia (nine genera, sensu Benton & Clark) belong to the genus Crocodylus, which originated in the Miocene. Today, this genus has a circumtropical distribution, with representatives found in Asia, Oceania, Africa and the Neotropics. However, its geographical origin and the historical events behind

A high-quality reference genome assembly of the saltwater crocodile, Crocodylus porosus , reveals patterns of selection in Crocodylidae [PDF]

Genome Biology and Evolution, 2019
Abstract Crocodilians are an economically, culturally, and biologically important group. To improve researchers’ ability to study genome structure, evolution, and gene regulation in the clade, we generated a high-quality de novo genome assembly of the saltwater crocodile,

[Nesting ecology of Crocodylus acutus (Reptilia: Crocodylidae) in Bahia Portete, La Guajira, Colombia].

Revista de biologia tropical, 2016
C. acutus is cataloged in critical danger in Colombia. We studied its population at Bahia Portete, in order to survey the nesting activities and to obtain valuable information for a conservation management program. This study was undertaken with the participation of the Wayuü community using the Agreement Conservation Model, and took place during July ...

Morphological integration and functional modularity in the crocodilian skull

, 2014
We explored the morphological organization of the skull within Crocodylidae, analyzing functional and phylogenetic interactions between its 2 constituent functional modules: the rostrum and the postrostrum.

Human-crocodile conflict and conservation implications of Saltwater Crocodiles Crocodylus porosus (Reptilia: Crocodylia: Crocodylidae) in Sri Lanka

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2015
Human-wildlife conflict occurs when human requirements encroach on those of wildlife populations, with potential costs to both humans and wild animals.  As top predators in most inland waters, crocodilians are involved in human-wildlife conflicts in many
