Sex in crocodilians is not determined by chromosomes, but by egg incubation temperature,
where different temperatures produce different clutch sex ratios. Two patterns have been …

Over the past two decades, there has been an astounding growth in the documentation of
vertebrate facultative parthenogenesis (FP). This unusual reproductive mode has been …

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 …

Crocodylus acutus has undergone severe past declines due to overexploitation and habitat
loss. There are conservation measures in most regions and established captive breeding …

We incubated eggs of three species of crocodilians farm-raised in China at three
(Crocodylus porosus at 29, 31 and 33° C) or four (C. niloticus and C. siamensis at 29, 30, 31 …

In oviparous tetrapods, the nesting-site selection by females is related to the habitat
characteristics, which influences nest incubation temperature. Females can directly …

Relationships between distribution patterns and body size have been documented in many
endothermic taxa. However, the evidence for these trends in ectotherms generally is …

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´ …

Crocodylus acutus has undergone severe past declines due to overexploitation and habitat
loss. There are conservation measures in most regions and established captive breeding …

The temperatures at which eggs of crocodilians are incubated plays an important role in
embryo survival, rate of embryonic development and sex definition. The aim of this study …
