Identification and characterization of serum complement activity in the American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus)

Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology, 2010
Incubation of unsensitized sheep red blood cells with serum from the American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus) resulted in a concentration-dependent hemolysis. The hemolytic activity was heat-sensitive, and inhibited by EDTA in a concentration-dependent manner. The EDTA-inhibited SRBC hemolysis could be restored by the addition of excess Ca2+ or Mg2+, but

Reptilian Chemistry: Volatile Compounds from Paracloacal Glands of the American Crocodile (Crocodylus acutus)

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2002
The secretion of the paracloacal glands of the American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus) contains over 80 lipophilic compounds, including saturated and unsaturated long-chain alcohols along with their formic, acetic, and butyric acid esters, and several isoprenoids.

Hybridization betweenCrocodylus acutusandCrocodylus moreletiiin the Yucatan Peninsula: I. evidence from mitochondrial DNA and morphology

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological Genetics and Physiology, 2008
AbstractThe American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus) and the Morelet's crocodile (C. moreletii) are broadly sympatric in Belize and Mexico. The presence of morphologically anomalous individuals in the overlapping range area suggests possible hybridization between these species.

Genetic characterization of captive Cuban crocodiles (Crocodylus rhombifer) and evidence of hybridization with the American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus)

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological Genetics and Physiology, 2008
AbstractThere is a surprising lack of genetic data for the Cuban crocodile (Crocodylus rhombifer), especially given its status as a critically endangered species. Samples from captive individuals were used to genetically characterize this species in comparison with other New World crocodilians.

Genetic and morphological evidence of a geographically widespread hybrid zone between two crocodile species,Crocodylus acutusandCrocodylus moreletii

Molecular Ecology, 2016
AbstractHybrid zones represent natural laboratories to study gene flow, divergence and the nature of species boundaries between closely related taxa. We evaluated the level and extent of hybridization betweenCrocodylus moreletiiandCrocodylus acutususing genetic and morphological data on 300 crocodiles from 65 localities.

Morphological diversity of the American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus) in the Yucatán Peninsula

Zoomorphology, 2017
Recent evidence suggests that morphological divergence of the American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus) occurred in Greater Antilles under conditions of prolonged isolation and hybridization with the Cuban crocodile (C. rhombifer). We investigated morphological diversity in C.
