Abstract The over‐exploitation of land resources poses a serious threat to biodiversity on a global scale. Changes in land‐use and human exploitation have had a major impact on wild populations and their habitat in China. We assessed how habitat quality has changed over time (1995–2020). Specifically, we analyzed how the habitat quality of crocodil...

The upper reaches of the Crocodile River (West) system are located in the western basin
of the Witwatersrand mountain chain, an area heavily influenced by gold mining. After the spill of highly acidic and contaminated mining-influenced water into the river system in 2002, chemical water treatment was implemented to compensate for the consequences o...
West Nile virus (WNV) causes skin lesions in farmed crocodiles leading to the depreciation of the value of their hides and significant economic losses. However, there is no commercially available vaccine designed for use in crocodilians against WNV. We tested chimeric virus vaccines composed of the non-structural genes of the insect-specific flaviv...
Abstract Effective management of protected species requires information on appropriate evolutionary and geographic population boundaries and knowledge of how the physical environment and life‐history traits combine to shape the population structure and connectivity. Saltwater crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus) are the largest and most widely distribut...
The American crocodile Crocodylus acutus occurs across the Americas, with its northernmost distribution being in South Florida, USA. This species has undergone severe declines across its range and is categorized globally as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List and as Threatened on the U.S. Federal Endangered Species List. Long-term monitoring studies in...
Northwest Costa Rica has the largest crocodile population in the country, but it is also an important area of the
human population growth, tourism, crops, and aquaculture, that have generated great changes in the region. For these
reasons, a landscape analysis for the American crocodile, Crocodylus acutus, was conducted to determine which
landscape...
