A range of abiotic parameters within a reptile nest influence the viability and attributes
(including sex, behaviour and body size) of hatchlings that emerge from that nest. As a result …

Rising global temperatures threaten to disrupt population sex ratios, which can in turn cause
mate shortages, reduce population growth and adaptive potential, and increase extinction …

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 …

Developing embryos of oviparous reptiles show substantial plasticity in their responses to
environmental conditions during incubation, which can include altered sex ratios …

We studied diet and size-related dietary patterns among American Crocodiles (Crocodylus
acutus) in marine habitats of coastal Belize (1996–1997). Prey items recovered from …

Nesting ecology of American crocodiles (Crocodylus acutus) in Florida has been both
positively and negatively influenced by anthropogenic and natural factors since the species …

The rates of eggs predation in crocodilians can be influenced by the abundance of
predators, their activity time, the crocodilian size, and parental care. We evaluated the …

The herpetofauna of the insular systems of Mexico is composed of 226 species, of which 14
are anurans, two are salamanders, and 210 are reptiles, comprised of two crocodilians, 195 …

The importance of microbial associations to animals' development, physiology, and fitness is
widely recognized. In most animals, these microbial associations must be developed anew …

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