Abstract Knowing about species interactions is essential for ecological research, conservation efforts, resource management, and maintaining healthy ecosystems, but many of these, such as reports of predation, may not always be published in easily located resources—if they are published at all.

The preservation of bony structures which enclose the hearing organs (ECD) provide a basis for interpreting the hearing capabilities of the extinct, flightless Dromornithidae (Aves). Although the length of the dromornithid ECD was especially short, relative to basicranial length, it conformed to the negative allometric scaling relationships observed in

American crocodiles on jet skis: Conflict or coexistence?
Federally Threatened American crocodiles have adapted to the urban landscape of southeastern Florida by taking advantage of anthropogenic basking opportunities. We suggest this behavior is key to the persistence of the species outside of protected areas.

Water, Wildlife and the World: A Global Synthesis of Trends in Wildlife Ecohydrology Research
ABSTRACT Ecohydrology and hydroecology are interdisciplinary fields that examine the interactions between ecology and hydrology to address critical issues pertaining to both disciplines. However, the study of ‘ecology’ in ecohydrology research has largely focused on vegetation, leading to a gap in knowledge regarding direct relationships between ...

In this work we evaluated the essential amino acid profile of muscle Crocodylus acutus and calculated their chemical score of main proteins used in their diet in captivity. The separation and identification of amino acids was carried out by high performance liquid chromatography coupled to a fluorescence detector.

Many populations of species belonging to the order Crocodilia are threatened due to illegal trafficking, indiscriminate hunting, and habitat loss and degradation affecting crocodilian health and parasitic load. Although several studies have revealed that crocodiles, caimans, and alligators are frequently infected by Hepatozoon spp., the results from ...

Nota sobre el crecimiento de Crocodylus acutus en cautiverio.
El crecimiento puede ser definido como una modificación irreversible, asociada con la actividad fisiológica del protoplasma y, comúnmente, acompañada por un incremento irreversible en el volumen o masa celular. Éste es un atributo esencial del material vivo, mismo que puede ser afectado directamente por los nutrimentos que son asimilados y por las ...
