Phylogenetic systematics, biogeography, and evolutionary ecology of the true crocodiles (Eusuchia: Crocodylidae: Crocodylus) [PDF]
Modern crocodylian systematics has been dominated by investigations of higher-level relationships aimed at resolving the disparity between morphological and molecular data, especially regarding the true gharial (Gavialis).

Egg predation and vertebrates associated with wild crocodilian nests in Mexico determined using camera-traps [PDF]
Interactions between species and individuals can determine their survival in the wild. Most of the time these relationships are difficult to study in situ by direct observation.

Predictors and immunological correlates of sublethal mercury exposure in vampire bats [PDF]
Mercury (Hg) is a pervasive heavy metal that often enters the environment from anthropogenic sources such as gold mining and agriculture. Chronic exposure to Hg can impair immune function, reducing the ability of animals to resist or recover from ...

Climatic Niche Modelling Reveals Limited Phylogenetic Niche Conservatism in New World Crocodylians
ABSTRACT Aim Phylogenetic niche conservatism, the tendency of closely related species to retain ancestral ecological traits, has gained considerable interest, yet the lack of integration across independent evaluation methods has hindered our understanding of whether niches are conserved or dynamic.

Abstract Knowing about species interactions is essential for ecological research, conservation efforts, resource management, and maintaining healthy ecosystems, but many of these, such as reports of predation, may not always be published in easily located resources—if they are published at all.

Organochlorine Pesticides in Chlorioallantoic Membranes of Morelet\u27s Crocodile Eggs from Belize [PDF]
Recent studies examined the utility of the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) as a nonlethal, noninvasive indicator of environmental contaminant exposure in oviparous wildlife. The CAM is a highly vascularized extraembryonic membrane that functions as a site
