Respiratory properties of the blood of Crocodylus porosus [PDF]
Respiration Physiology, 1980 The blood of Crocodylus porosus has a high oxygen capacity (5.5 mmol . 1-1 at hematocrit = 28%). The shape of the oxygen equilibrium curve of the blood is described by 'n' = 2.7 in the physiological range of PCO2, and its oxygen affinity is described by the equation: log10P50 = 0.4163 + 0.0200 T degrees C + 0.3763 log10PCO2.

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

Roars, Rumbles, and Resonance: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Crocodylian Acoustic Signals. [PDF]
Ecol EvolCrocodylians are highly vocal reptiles, possessing a complex acoustic signalling system including vocal and non‐vocal signals used for courtship, mating, mediating conflict, and providing maternal care. Despite this, research on crocodylian acoustic signalling remains infrequent, with methodologies and terminology varying widely across studies.

Satellite tracking reveals long distance coastal travel and homing by translocated estuarine crocodiles, Crocodylus porosus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 Crocodilians have a wide distribution, often in remote areas, are cryptic, secretive and are easily disturbed by human presence. Their capacity for large scale movements is poorly known.

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

International Journal of Food Properties, 2018 Crocodiles have been hunted and consumed for centuries for skins, nutrients, and medicines. These indomitable trends have overpowered restrictions from wildlife and conservation agencies, continuing the illegal trades of crocodiles across the world. This

Functional and morphological plasticity of crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) salt glands [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2008 SUMMARYThe estuarine crocodile, Crocodylus porosus, inhabits both freshwater and hypersaline waterways and maintains ionic homeostasis by excreting excess sodium and chloride ions via lingual salt glands. In the present study, we sought to investigate the phenotypic plasticity, both morphological and functional, in the lingual salt glands of the ...
