Clustering crocodylian dental morphology: Insights into functional adaptations, diet, and ontogeny. [PDF]

J Anat
Extant crocodylians may be divided into five clusters based on the residuals of four linear dental measurements (y‐axes) and their variation along the jaw (x‐axes). These clusters correlate to snout shape, prey preference, and feeding ecology, particularly prey size and the degree of processing necessary. Multiple families and subfamilies were found in

Maximal aerobic and anaerobic power generation in large crocodiles versus mammals: implications for dinosaur gigantothermy [PDF]

, 2013
Inertial homeothermy, the maintenance of a relatively constant body temperature that occurs simply because of large size, is often applied to large dinosaurs.

Epidermal scale growth, allometry and function in non-avian dinosaurs and extant reptiles. [PDF]

J Anat
Scale shapes in non‐avian dinosaurs and extant reptiles are mostly retained through growth. However, positive scale allometry and proportional differences in scale breadth are also detected, which are likely associated with changing body proportions. Based on their generally conserved morphology and impracticality for visual display, the enlarged size ...

Plasma Homeostasis and Cloacal Urine Composition in Crocodylus porosus Caught Along a Salinity Gradient [PDF]

, 1981
Juveniles of the Estuarine or Saltwater Crocodile, Crocodylus porosus, maintain both osmotic pressure and plasma electrolyte homeostasis along a salinity gradient from fresh water to the sea. In fresh water (FW) the cloacal urine is a clear solution rich

Lingual Salt Glands in Crocodylus acutus and C. johnstoni and Their Absence from Alligator mississipiensis and Caiman crocodilus [PDF]

, 1982
1. Lingual salt glands, secreting hyperosmotic Na/K solutions in response to methacholine, are present in Crocodylus acutus and C. johnstoni but apparently absent from the alligatorids, Alligator mississipiensis and Caiman crocodilus. 2.

The velar chord and dynamic integration of the gular valve in crocodylians. [PDF]

Anat Rec (Hoboken)
Crocodilians have a unique gular valve that forms a seal between the oral cavity and the pharynx. The gular valve has traditionally been treated as two parts: a mobile ventral flap associated with the tongue and a fixed dorsal velum palatini. This work describes a connective tissue band, the velar chord, which functionally integrates the two parts of ...
