The Nest Environment of the American Crocodile (Crocodylus acutus)
Copeia, 1984In the southern tip of the Everglades, Florida, a small population of the American crocodile, Crocodylus acutus builds nests in two quite different substrates, sand/shell and marl. Changes in temperature, soil water and gaseous composition were monitored in selected nests throughout incubation, and the gaseous resistance of the soils measured ...

Shifts in hatching date of American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus) in southern Florida
Journal of Thermal Biology, 2020Globally temperature of marine environments is on the rise and temperature plays an important role in the life-history of reptiles. In this study, we examined the relationship between sea surface temperature and average date of hatching for American crocodiles (Crocodylus acutus) over a 37-year period at two nesting sites, Everglades National Park and ...

OCULAR DISEASE IN AMERICAN CROCODILES (CROCODYLUS ACUTUS) IN COSTA RICA
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2011Beginning in early 2006, an ocular disease of unknown etiology was routinely observed in American crocodiles (Crocodylus acutus) inhabiting the highly polluted Tarcoles River in west-central Costa Rica. We examined the nature and incidence of ocular disease in Tarcoles crocodiles and assessed the possible association between the disease and ...

Tolerance of Sea Water by the American Crocodile, Crocodylus acutus
Journal of Herpetology, 1981general. In sea water starved C. acutus lose weight as an inverse function of total body volume. Therefore large crocodiles are capable of prolonged substenance in marine environments, particularly if free water is gained from vertebrate prey in the diet.

Sodium balance in the hatchling American crocodile, Crocodylus acutus
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 1977Abstract 1. 1. In fresh water the hatchling American crocodile, Crocodylus acutus , has a Na efflux rate of 2.5μM·100g −1 ·hr −1 , of which 69% is from the head, neck and forelimbs; 12% is from the body, hindlimbs and tail and 19% is from the cloaca. 2. 2.

Oral and cloacal microflora of wild crocodiles Crocodylus acutus and C. moreletii in the Mexican Caribbean [PDF]
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2012 Bacterial cultures and chemical analyses were performed from cloacal and oral swabs taken from 43 American crocodiles Crocodylus acutus and 28 Morelet's crocodiles C. moreletii captured in Quintana Roo State, Mexico. We recovered 47 bacterial species (28 genera and 14 families) from all samples with 51.1% of these belonging to the family ...

Status and conservation of the American crocodile, Crocodylus acutus, in Belize
Biological Conservation, 2000The status of the American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus) in the coastal zone of Belize was investigated from July 1996 to October 1997. Two hundred and sixty-two crocodiles were observed during spotlight surveys of 952.2 km of the survey route (0.28 crocodiles/km). Encounter rates were highest in the TurneAe Atoll, and low to moderate elsewhere.

Respiration and Metabolism in a Young Crocodile (Crocodylus acutus Cuvier)
Copeia, 1931M ANY cold-blooded animals have a capacity greatly exceeding that of man for suspension of respiration. The record for man appears to be held by a student of Schneider (1930), who took three deep breaths of oxygen, following a period of forced breathing, and then held his breath for 15 minutes and 13 seconds.
