The 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 ...

Population genetic structure of Morelet’s and American crocodiles in Belize:Hybridization, connectivity and conservation [PDF]
Hybridization can influence the evolutionary potential of wild species and can be especially detrimental where one species is abundant, and the other much rarer.

Many populations of species belonging to the order Crocodilia are threatened due to illegal trafficking, indiscriminate hunting, and habitat loss and degradation affecting crocodilian health and parasitic load. Although several studies have revealed that crocodiles, caimans, and alligators are frequently infected by Hepatozoon spp., the results from ...

Conquering the crush: A novel tool for holding crocodilian jaws open
Crocodilians possess the strongest bite force of all extant animals, and this jaw‐closing pressure poses a challenge and safety risk for people working with them. We designed and tested a device for holding alligator jaws open that allows for safe positioning within the mouth and is adaptable to both widen and collapse the gape of the mouth.

Understanding hybridization is key for conservation of wild species, yet it is still a controversial issue in conservation. We discern geographic and temporal patterns of introgression, migration, and demography for Crocodylus acutus, C. moreletii, and their hybrid lineages.
