Isotopic ordering in eggshells reflects body temperatures and suggests differing thermophysiology in two Cretaceous dinosaurs [PDF]
, 2015 Our understanding of the evolutionary transitions leading to the modern endothermic state of birds and mammals is incomplete, partly because tools available to study the thermophysiology of extinct vertebrates are limited.

Habitat selection, parasites and injuries in Amazonian crocodilians
, 1985 Caiman crocodilus is found most frequently in relatively warm, shallow or grassy areas in the larger rivers, lakes and canals of Amazonia. The habitats that it uses are increasing in area because of human activities.

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2015 Human-wildlife conflict occurs when human requirements encroach on those of wildlife populations, with potential costs to both humans and wild animals. As top predators in most inland waters, crocodilians are involved in human-wildlife conflicts in many

Crocodiles as dinosaurs: Behavioural thermoregulation in very large ectotherms leads to high and stable body temperatures [PDF]
, 1999 Empirical field data describing daily and seasonal cycles in body temperature (Tb) of free-ranging Crocodylus porosus (32-1010 kg) can be predicted by a mathematical analysis. The analysis provides a mechanistic explanation for the decreased amplitude of

A modified biopsy needle with pole for repeatable tissue extraction from free‐ranging crocodiles
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2019 Biopsy sampling is a powerful tool for furthering our understanding of animal populations. Knowledge of diets and trophic energy flows, genetic structure and connectivity between populations, and uptake of environmental contaminants can all be elucidated

The Sub-Pulmonary Conus And The Arterial Anastomosis As Important Sites Of Cardiovascular Regulation In The Crocodile Crocodylus porosus [PDF]
, 1997 We present evidence to support the hypothesis that the arterial anastomosis and the cogteeth-like valves located in the sub-pulmonary conus in the right ventricle are important sites of cardiovascular regulation in the crocodile Crocodylus porosus.
