Crocodylus moreletii in captivity

2017
This study documents results of the husbandry of Crocodylus moreletii in captivity, in cooperation with the Tiergarten Schönbrunn in Vienna. The first chapter reveals the incubation methods and proves that temperatures above 34°C in the first third of the incubation period will lead to abnormalities and even to the death of crocodile embryos, while ...

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 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.

Metals and Metallothioneins in Morelet’s Crocodile (Crocodylus moreletii) from a Transboundary River Between Mexico and Belize

Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2014
The aim of this study was to determine concentrations of heavy metals (cadmium [Cd] and mercury [Hg]) and metallothioneins (MTs) in blood plasma and caudal scutes of Morelet's crocodile (Crocodylus moreletii) from Rio Hondo, a river and natural border between Mexico and Belize.

Growth of morelet's crocodile (crocodylus moreletii) during the first three years of life

Zoo Biology, 1995
AbstractGrowth of Crocodylus moreletii, an endangered species, was observed under protected conditions in the native range, from hatching through the third year of life. The goal of this project was to provide baseline growth data for eventual comparison with data from specimens reared in thermally controlled zoo facilities.

Out with the old, introgression with the new: Signals of ancient and recent admixture in hybridizing Mesoamerican crocodiles (Crocodylus acutus x Crocodylus moreletii)

A central aim of conservation is to preserve existing biodiversity and understand the ecological and evolutionary processes that support it. Inter- and intra-specific hybridization in wildlife has been recognized as a common and naturally occurring phenomenon that facilitates species adaptation and evolution.
