Micronuclei and Nuclear Buds Induced by Cyclophosphamide in Crocodylus moreletii as Useful Biomarkers in Aquatic Environments [PDF]
Animals, 2021 Micronuclei (MN) are used to assess genotoxic exposure, whereas nuclear buds (NBs) have been linked to genotoxic events. Crocodylus moreletii was studied to identify MN and NBs.

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 ...

First photon-counting detector computed tomography in the living crocodile: a 3D-Imaging study with special reference to amphibious hearing [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental BiologyBackgroundCrocodiles are semi-aquatic animals well adapted to hear both on land and under water. Currently, there is limited information on how their amphibious hearing is accomplished. Here, we describe, for the first time, the ear anatomy in the living
