- Constraints and adaptations in crocodyliform skull evolution.
Srinivas A, Bright JA, Cunningham JA et al. · Proceedings. Biological sciences · 2025-11 · open access
Crocodyliforms display a diverse range of skull morphologies through their evolutionary history. Extant crocodilians possess platyrostral (broad and flat) snouts, thought to be sub-optimal for resisting feeding loads due to the conflicting demands of feeding and hydrodynamic constraints. In…
- First photon-counting detector computed tomography in the living crocodile: a 3D-Imaging study with special reference to amphibious hearing.
Melkersson KG, Li H, Rask-Andersen H · Frontiers in cell and developmental biology · 2024-10 · open access
Background Crocodiles are semi-aquatic animals well adapted to hear both on land and under water. Currently, there is limited information on how their amphibious hearing is accomplished. Here, we describe, for the first time, the ear anatomy in the living crocodile using photon-counting detector…
- Assessing abundance-suitability models to prioritize conservation areas for the dwarf caimans in South America.
Rodriguez-Cordero AL, Balaguera-Reina SA, Gross BA et al. · Ecology and evolution · 2024-08 · open access
Species-environment relationships have been extensively explored through species distribution models (SDM) and species abundance models (SAM), which have become key components to understand the spatial ecology and population dynamics directed at biodiversity conservation. Nonetheless, within the…
- Central African dwarf crocodiles found in syntopy are comparably divergent to South American dwarf caimans.

- Temperature variation in nests of Paleosuchus palpebrosus (Crocodylia: Alligatoridae) near the southern edge of the species´ range, Brazil.
Campos Z, Magnusson WE, Soriano B · Brazilian journal of biology = Revista brasleira de biologia · 2022-10 · open access
We monitored the temperature of seven Paleosuchus palpebrosus nests found on the banks of streams surrounding the Brazilian Pantanal, near the southern limit of the species´ distribution, between 2008 and 2013. The mean temperature of the nests between 45 and 68 days incubation, the presumed period…
- PULMONARY AND COELOMIC MYCOSES DUE TO METARHIZIUM AND BEAUVERIA SPECIES IN REPTILES.

- Neuroanatomy of the mekosuchine crocodylian Trilophosuchus rackhami Willis, 1993.
Ristevski J · Journal of anatomy · 2022-08 · open access
Although our knowledge on crocodylomorph palaeoneurology has experienced considerable growth in recent years, the neuroanatomy of many crocodylomorph taxa has yet to be studied. This is true for Australian taxa, where thus far only two crocodylian crocodylomorphs have had aspects of their…

- Behavioral Assessment of Six Reptile Species during a Temporary Zoo Closure and Reopening.
Hamilton J, Gartland KN, Jones M et al. · Animals : an open access journal from MDPI · 2022-04 · open access
1. Introduction The sheer number of reptile species housed in captivity is not reflected in the number of publications on their welfare. In 2011, 445 different species of reptiles were listed as being housed globally by zoos and aquariums (hereafter zoos), representing roughly 11% of the total…

Campos Z, Mourão G, Magnusson WE · PloS one · 2017-11 · open access
Run-of-the-river hydroelectric dams cause changes in seasonal inundation of the floodplains, and this may cause displacement of semi-aquatic vertebrates present before dam construction. This study evaluated the movement of crocodilians before and after the filling of the Santo Antônio hydroelectric…

Campos Z, Magnusson WE · PloS one · 2016-05 · open access
Direct counts of crocodilians are rarely feasible and it is difficult to meet the assumptions of mark-recapture methods for most species in most habitats. Catch-out experiments are also usually not logistically or morally justifiable because it would be necessary to destroy the habitat in order to…
