Sedation and general anaesthesia of crocodilians: a systematic review [PDF]
Acta Veterinaria ScandinavicaSedation and general anaesthesia of crocodilians pose unique challenges due to their aggressive nature, poikilothermic physiology, and specific anatomical and physiological characteristics, all factors that complicate crocodilian anaesthesia. This review

Size, not phylogeny, explains the morphology of the endosseous labyrinth in the crown clade Crocodylia. [PDF]
J AnatHere, we present the most complete dataset to date on the endosseous labyrinths of extant crocodylians. Using 3D geometric morphometrics, we show that allometry constitutes a major contributor of the shape variation of the crocodylian endosseous labyrinths and that the development of this structure is likely linked to the braincase conformation, in all

The structure of the eggshell and eggshell membranes of Crocodylus niloticus
Journal of Microscopy, 2023 AbstractThe macro‐ and microstructure, elemental composition, and crystallographic characteristics of the eggshell and eggshell membranes of the Crocodylus niloticus egg was investigated using optical and electron microscopy, energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (EDS), electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and computerised tomography. The translucent
