Although the systematic utility of ecological niche modeling is generally well known (eg,
concerning the recognition and discovery of areas of endemism for biogeographic …

Crocodilians represent one of the oldest extant vertebrate lineages. They have co‐existed
with humans throughout the Amazon basin for thousands of years, often having a strong …

Vertebrate mitochondrial genomes have been extensively studied for genetic and
evolutionary purposes, these are normally believed to be extremely conserved, however …

Examinations of both population genetic structure and the processes that lead to such
structure in crocodilians have been initiated in several species in response to a call by the …

Interspecific hybridization can lead to adaptation and speciation, especially in the context of
recent radiations. The emblematic Crocodylus (true crocodiles) is the most broadly …

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 …

Crocodylus siamensis, the Siamese crocodile, is a critically endangered species of
freshwater crocodile previously distributed throughout much of SE Asia. Recovery plans call …

Abstract The American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus) and the Morelet's crocodile (C.
