First appearing in the latest Cretaceous, Crocodylia is a clade of semi-aquatic, predatory
reptiles, defined by the last common ancestor of extant alligators, caimans, crocodiles, and …

The fossil crocodylomorph fauna of the Cenozoic of South America is very rich and diverse.
Historically, few publications have been dedicated to providing an overall review of this …

Species discovery methods utilizing coalescent-based approaches are powerful tools for
detecting cryptic lineages within morphological conservative groups, thus being an …

The use of molecular data for living groups is vital for interpreting fossils, especially when
morphology-only analyses retrieve problematic phylogenies for living forms. These …

Schneider's dwarf caiman Paleosuchus trigonatus is one of the smallest living crocodilians.
Due to its broad distribution, cryptic behavior, and small home range, the species is well …

Crocodylomorpha, which includes living crocodylians and their extinct relatives, has a rich
fossil record, extending back for more than 200 million years. Unlike modern semi‐aquatic …

Here we present a comparative anatomical study of large late Miocene alligatorids of
Argentina (Ituzaingó Formation), in which we analyse their taxonomy, morphological …

Extant neosuchian crocodiles are represented by only 24 taxa that are confined to the
tropics and subtropics. However, at other intervals during their 200 Myr evolutionary history …

The number of precaudal vertebrae in all extant crocodylians is remarkably conservative,
with nine cervicals, 15 dorsals and two sacrals, a pattern present also in their closest extinct …

Eusuchia is a crocodyliform clade with a rich and diverse fossil record dating back to the
Mesozoic. There are several recent studies that analyse crocodyliform palaeodiversity over …
