Patterns of heating in the body trunk and tail of Crocodylus porosus

Journal of Thermal Biology, 1977
Abstract When a 4.9 kg Crocodylus porosus was heated in the sun, different organs of the body heated at different rates. The tail centre, heart, liver and lungs warmed more rapidly than the cloaca, ventral thorax and ventral regions of the tail. The circulatory system influences the order of heating of regions within the trunk.

Social interactions compromise thermoregulation in crocodiles Crocodylus johnstoni and Crocodilus porosus

2000
Observations of aggressive encounters between crocodiles in the field showed that intraspecific aggression compromised thermoregulation by subordinate animals. Intraspecific aggression may thus trigger a physiological mechanism for dispersal in crocodiles.

Fatty acid nutrition of the estuarine crocodile Crocodylus porosus

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1985
Abstract 1. 1. Fatty acid digestion, assimilation and utilization were studied in immature C. porosus. 2. 2. The apparent digestibilities of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids were higher than those of saturated fatty acids ranging from 100% for C22:6 to 28% for C18:0. 3. 3.

Behaviour of the Australian crocodiles, Crocodylus johnstoni and C. porosus

Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 1973
Behaviour associated with thermoregulation, activity, feeding and hunting, voluntary diving, responses to other animals and defensive displays are described for Crocodylus johnstoni and C. porosus. Reactions to various animals are discussed and defensive behaviour at the intra- and interspecific levels are discussed.

Mortality of Eggs of the Crocodile Crocodylus porosus in Northern Australia

Journal of Herpetology, 1982
Most mortality of eggs of Crocodylus porosus in northern Australia is caused by flooding. Floods are of two types, short-term caused by the interaction of rainfall and tidal move- ments, and long-term caused by heavy rain. The duration of inundation necessary to kill eggs in laboratory experiments is longer than that normally experienced during tidal ...

Dispersal of Hatchling Crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus) (Reptilia, Crocodilidae)

Journal of Herpetology, 1979
Dispersal of hatchling crocodiles was investigated by mark-recapture. The rate of movement of crocodiles less than 6 months old was unaffected by their age or the salinity of the water in which they were living. Movement was not random and patterns of movement differed between the lower and middle reaches of rivers.
