Role of Chromosome Changes in Evolution and Diversity [PDF]
Genomics & Informatics, 2015 The karyotypes of most species of crocodilians were studied using conventional and molecular cytogenetics. These provided an important contribution of chromosomal rearrangements for the evolutionary processes of Crocodylia and Sauropsida (birds and ...

Respiratory properties of the blood of Crocodylus porosus [PDF]
Respiration Physiology, 1980 The blood of Crocodylus porosus has a high oxygen capacity (5.5 mmol . 1-1 at hematocrit = 28%). The shape of the oxygen equilibrium curve of the blood is described by 'n' = 2.7 in the physiological range of PCO2, and its oxygen affinity is described by the equation: log10P50 = 0.4163 + 0.0200 T degrees C + 0.3763 log10PCO2.

Morphological and functional changes in the vertebral column with increasing aquatic adaptation in crocodylomorphs [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2015 The lineage leading to modern Crocodylia has undergone dramatic evolutionary changes in morphology, ecology and locomotion over the past 200+ Myr. These functional innovations may be explained in part by morphological changes in the axial skeleton, which

Integrating molecular, phenotypic and environmental data to elucidate patterns of crocodile hybridization in Belize [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2015 The genus Crocodylus comprises 12 currently recognized species, many of which can be difficult to differentiate phenotypically. Interspecific hybridization among crocodiles is known to occur in captivity and has been documented between some species in ...
