Synchrotron X-ray microdiffraction to study dental structures in Cretaceous crocodylomorphs
2021, Cretaceous ResearchCitation Excerpt :Crocodiles are animals with great dependence on the environment for their growth. As in other ectotherms, their development depends on daily or seasonal trends (Hutton, 1986; Castanet et al., 1988) and can be related to light, temperature, humidity, and food supply conditions (Cott, 1961; Blake and Loveridge, 1975; Revol, 1995). Therefore, the crystallite size of the HA deposited during odontogenesis may depend on how favourable or unfavourable the environmental conditions are.
A Case Report of a Bite From the Nile Crocodile (Crocodylus niloticus) Managed with Regional Anesthesia
2019, Wilderness and Environmental MedicineCitation Excerpt :The Nile crocodile is distributed throughout Zimbabwe.11 The largest populations tend to be found in warmer waters, especially in the north part of the country, including Lake Kariba, Lake Manyame, and Lake Chivero.12 Lake Chivero is a reservoir on the Manyame River in Zimbabwe, located southwest of Harare, and provides the main water supply for the city.
Dermatological conditions of farmed Crocodilians: A review of pathogenic agents and their proposed impact on skin quality
2018, Veterinary MicrobiologyCitation Excerpt :The sustainable use of crocodilians has had a significant and positive impact on the conservation status of many previously threatened species by generating strong economic incentives for their protection (Blake and Loveridge, 1975; Bolton and Laufa, 1982; Moyle, 2013; Revol, 1995; Thorbjarnarson et al., 1992).
Snake prices and crocodile appetites: Aquatic wildlife supply and demand on Tonle Sap Lake, Cambodia
2010, Biological ConservationCitation Excerpt :We illustrate this here with reference to the snake and crocodile trade case study. Captive rearing of crocodiles for international trade is regarded by many as an effective conservation tool for the protection of exploited and threatened crocodilians (Blake and Loveridge, 1975; Revol, 1994; Thorbjarnarson, 1999), yet little consideration has been given to the conservation implications of the domestic demand it creates for a source of food. We estimate that domestic crocodiles in Cambodia consume between 2.7 and 12.2 million snakes per year, spanning the estimated 6.9 million traded annually (Brooks et al., 2007).
