Differences in distress: Variance and production of American Crocodile (Crocodylus acutus) distress calls in Belize. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2020 AbstractAcoustic communication of American Crocodiles (Crocodylus acutus) is relatively understudied. Our overall aim was to determine the acoustic structure of wild American Crocodile distress calls, distinguish call differences among size classes (hatchling, juvenile, sub‐adult, and adult), and investigate call production on a gradient of human ...
