Relationships between female size, egg size, clutch size, and hatchling size in Morelet’s crocodile

Theriogenology Wild, 2023
Resources are limited by the environment in which an individual is found and can be influenced by natural selection. Evolutionary trade-offs in the reptilian reproductive effort literature have focused on optimal egg size. The objective of this study was

Ancestral Hybridization Yields Evolutionary Distinct Hybrids Lineages and Species Boundaries in Crocodiles, Posing Unique Conservation Conundrums

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018
Interspecific hybridization can lead to adaptation and speciation, especially in the context of recent radiations. The emblematic Crocodylus (true crocodiles) is the most broadly distributed, ecologically diverse, and species-rich crocodylian genus ...

Neuroanatomy of the mekosuchine crocodylian Trilophosuchus rackhami Willis, 1993

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 241, Issue 4, Page 981-1013, October 2022., 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 ...

Human–crocodilian interactions in Latin America and the Caribbean region

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 3, Issue 5, May 2021., 2021
Abstract Mitigating harmful interactions with wildlife requires an understanding of the interactions between predators, domesticated animals and humans. Large‐scale transformations of crocodilian habitats across the Latin America and Caribbean region, alongside significant use of crocodilians as a resource, and retaliatory killing of crocodilians ...

Effectiveness of Morelet's crocodile as a bioindicator of metal pollution and metallothionein response to spatial variations of metal exposure

Environmental Advances, 2022
Several studies have assessed the potential of crocodylians as bioindicators of environmental contamination. In this study, the Morelet's crocodile (Crocodylus moreletii) was used as a bioindicator of metal pollution across five locations in southeastern

Computed tomography reveals the endocranial anatomy of Crocodylia: Implications for phylogenetic relationships and ecomorphological convergence across Crocodylomorpha

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The evaluation of the endocranial anatomy of 43 crocodylian species reveals several differences, including variation in the curvature of the encephalic endocast, the size of the endosseous labyrinth and paratympanic sinuses, and the presence of additional snout sinuses.

SOS Cocodrilo Tampico: First‐responder actions to human–crocodile interactions in Northeastern Mexico

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 3, July–September 2026.
Grupo S.O.S. Cocodrilo Tampico (GSOS‐T), a multi‐agency response team in Tampico, Mexico, documented four human–crocodile interactions with Crocodylus moreletii between 2021 and 2022—two fatal, two non‐fatal—revealing that homeless adults face the greatest risk.
