Lost to the Sea: Predicted Climate Change Threats to Saltwater Crocodile Nesting Habitat

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Climate change is predicted to have devastating impacts on apex predators such as eliminating their required habitats. Crocodilians are no exception as most species require freshwater for nesting, and such freshwater habitats are particularly vulnerable ...

A marker suitable for sex-typing birds from degraded samples [PDF]

, 2015
A new primer set was developed for sex-typing birds, Z37B. This primer set was designed to amplify alleles of small size to render it suitable for sex-typing degraded samples, including shed feathers.

High genetic diversity and demographic history of captive Siamese and Saltwater crocodiles suggest the first step toward the establishment of a breeding and reintroduction program in Thailand. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
The Siamese crocodile (Crocodylus siamensis) and Saltwater crocodile (C. porosus) are two of the most endangered animals in Thailand. Their numbers have been reduced severely by hunting and habitat fragmentation.

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

The likely effects of thermal climate change on vertebrate skeletal muscle mechanics with possible consequences for animal movement and behaviour [PDF]

, 2019
Climate change can involve alteration in the local temperature that an animal is exposed to, which in turn may affect skeletal muscle temperature.

Osmoregulation of the Australian freshwater crocodile, Crocodylus johnstoni, in fresh and saline waters [PDF]

, 1993
An unusual saltwater population of the "freshwater" crocodilian, Crocodylus johnstoni, was studied in the estuary of the Limmen Bight River in Australia's Northern Territory and compared with populations in permanently freshwater habitats.
