Comparative genome analyses reveal distinct structure in the saltwater crocodile MHC. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a dynamic genome region with an essential role in the adaptive immunity of vertebrates, especially antigen presentation.

A genetic linkage map for the saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2009
Background Genome elucidation is now in high gear for many organisms, and whilst genetic maps have been developed for a broad array of species, surprisingly, no such maps exist for a crocodilian, or indeed any other non-avian member of the Class Reptilia.

Preserving Pure Siamese Crocodile Populations: A Comprehensive Approach Using Multi-Genetic Tools [PDF]

Biology, 2023
Hybrids between the critically endangered Siamese crocodile (Crocodylus siamensis) and least-concern saltwater crocodile (C. porosus) in captive populations represent a serious challenge for conservation and reintroduction programs due to the impact of ...

Should the Identification Guidelines for Siamese Crocodiles Be Revised? Differing Post-Occipital Scute Scale Numbers Show Phenotypic Variation Does Not Result from Hybridization with Saltwater Crocodiles [PDF]

Biology, 2023
Populations of Siamese crocodiles (Crocodylus siamensis) have severely declined because of hunting and habitat fragmentation, necessitating a reintroduction plan involving commercial captive-bred populations.

Implications of past and present genetic connectivity for management of the saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) [PDF]

Evolutionary Applications, 2023
Effective management of protected species requires information on appropriate evolutionary and geographic population boundaries and knowledge of how the physical environment and life‐history traits combine to shape the population structure and ...

Tissue tropism, pathology, and pathogenesis of West Nile virus infection in saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus). [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases
West Nile virus (WNV) is one of the leading causes of economic losses to the saltwater crocodile farming industry due to skin lesions, known as "pix", induced by the infection.

Roars, Rumbles, and Resonance: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Crocodylian Acoustic Signals. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Crocodylians 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.

Continuous Infraclavicular Block for Forearm Amputation After Being Bitten by a Saltwater Crocodile (Crocodylus Porosus): A Case Report [PDF]

Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, 2009
Two important issues after a complete right forearm amputation are replantation and ongoing pain management. There are no reports of successful forearm replantation as a consequence of a crocodile bite.

Nile Crocodiles in Lake Nasser, Egypt, Are Found Close to Fishermen's Camps, Indicating Potential Conflicts. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We investigated the relative importance of environmental and anthropogenic variables determining the distribution of Nile crocodiles to predict and mitigate the risks of human–crocodile conflicts. A better understanding of such variables will potentially prevent conflicts or even promote coexistence between crocodiles and humans.

Understanding the structure and blemishes of Australian farmed saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) leather [PDF]

Veterinary and Animal Science
Australian saltwater crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus) are farmed to harvest their belly skin to produce high quality leather products. This is the first descriptive study to explore the structure of leather across different finishes; incrust, matte and ...
