Large‐bodied predators are well represented among the world's threatened and
endangered species. A significant body of literature shows that in terrestrial and marine …

Background Crocodilians have dominated predatory niches at the water-land interface for
over 85 million years. Like their ancestors, living species show substantial variation in their …

There have been a number of attempts to explain how crocodylian bite-force performance
covaries with cranial form and diet. However, the mechanics and morphologies of …

Existing classifications of snout shape within Crocodylia are supported by functional studies,
but ecological surveys often reveal a higher than expected diversity of prey items within …

Although adult crocodilians have few predators (mostly humans and other crocodilians),
hatchlings and eggs are killed and consumed by a diverse array of invertebrates, fishes …

Heterodonty in Crocodylia and closely related taxa has not been defined quantitatively, as
the teeth rarely have been measured. This has resulted in a range of qualitative descriptors …

Ontogenetic variation of cranial characters used in crocodylian phylogenetic systematics has
never been studied. Furthermore, the relationship between diet and skull morphological …

The musculoskeletal hindlimb anatomy of the alligatorid Caiman latirostris Daudin is
presented. The description includes origin and insertion sites as well as anatomical function …

Several Pterygoplichthys species, members of the Neotropical catfish family Loricariidae,
have been widely introduced outside their native ranges. In this paper, I present …

Araripesuchus is a genus of medium-sized (approximately 1 m long) terrestrial
uruguaysuchid crocodyliforms that lived during the Cretaceous in Gondwana. There is …
