Nesting of Morelet’s crocodile, Crocodylus moreletii (Dumeril and Bibron), in Los Tuxtlas, Mexico [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2017 We evaluated the nesting by Crocodylus moreletii in Lago de Catemaco, Veracruz, southeastern, Mexico. During the nesting and hatching seasons, we searched for nests along the northern margins of the lake and small associated streams.

Observations on nests of Crocodylus moreletii in San Luis Potosí, Mexico
Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2011 Nesting ecology of Morelet’s crocodile (Crocodylus moreletii) has been documented since 1940. However, only 2 nests constructed on floating vegetation have been recorded.

The comparative energetics of the turtles and crocodiles. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2022 This paper discusses patterns in Dynamic Energy Budget parameters and implied traits that we found for turtles and crocodiles. We explain, for instance, why the proportionality of weight at birth with the square root of ultimate weight points to problems with water loss and nitrogen‐waste accumulation.

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

Reproducción en cautiverio de Crocodylus moreletii en Tabasco, México
Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2011 Entre 1990 y 1993 se estudió la reproducción de Crocodylus moreletii en cautiverio, con 27 machos y 109 hembras. Las hembras resultaron en longitud hocico-cloaca (LHC) más grandes (60 a 140 cm) que lo previamente conocido.

Quadrate orientation and joint reaction force underwent correlated evolution during suchian evolution. [PDF]
J AnatThe quadrate is the cranial bone of the nonmammalian jaw joint. The quadrate has long been hypothesized to mirror the direction of joint reaction forces (JRF) during feeding. This study uses 3D biomechanical modeling to reveal a striking evolutionary link between quadrate orientation and JRF direction, unlocking new insights into the dynamic forces ...

Genetic evidence supports a distinct lineage of American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus) in the Greater Antilles [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Four species of true crocodile (genus Crocodylus) have been described from the Americas. Three of these crocodile species exhibit non-overlapping distributions—Crocodylus intermedius in South America, C. moreletii along the Caribbean coast of Mesoamerica,
