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

Neuroanatomy of the mekosuchine crocodylian Trilophosuchus rackhami Willis, 1993. [PDF]
J Anat, 2022 This study described the neuroanatomy of the mekosuchine crocodylian Trilophosuchus rackhami from the Middle Miocene of Australia. Although the neuromorphology of Trilophosuchus rackhami follows the general patterns seen in crocodylomorphs, it is nevertheless characterized by a unique combination of features that stand out among currently known taxa ...

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,

Variación genética y conservación de una población de Crocodylus moreletii en cautiverio [PDF]
ACTA ZOOLÓGICA MEXICANA (N.S.), 2011 Inbreeding is a frequent problem in isolated or captive populations, therefore it is necessary to implement strategies to minimize its incidence. Morelet´s crocodile, Crocodylus moreletii, is exploited in captivity and conservation of genetic variation ...
