Molecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 22, Page 6044-6058, November 2023., 2023 Abstract An animal's gut microbiota plays an important role in host health, reproduction and digestion. However, many studies focus on only a few individuals or a single species, limiting our ability to recognize emergent patterns across a wider taxonomic grouping.

Using functional traits to identify conservation priorities for the world's crocodylians
Functional Ecology, Volume 37, Issue 1, Page 112-124, January 2023., 2023 Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Over half of all crocodylians are threatened with extinction, with many species considered to be functionally extinct throughout their historical ranges. How such losses impact crocodylian functional diversity (FD) and its conservation is poorly understood, but can be ...

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 ...

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

Microplastics in freshwater fishes: Occurrence, impacts and future perspectives
Fish and Fisheries, Volume 22, Issue 3, Page 467-488, May 2021., 2021 Abstract Microplastics (MPs) are small, plastic particles of various shapes, sizes and polymers. Although well studied in marine systems, their roles and importance in freshwater environments remain uncertain. Nevertheless, the restricted ranges and variable traits of freshwater fishes result in their communities being important receptors and strong ...
