Unihemispheric sleep in crocodilians?
Reduced vigilance is the conspicuous cost of sleep in most animals. To mitigate against this cost, some birds and aquatic mammals have evolved the ability to sleep with one-half of their brain at a time, a phenomenon known as unihemispheric sleep. During unihemispheric sleep the eye neurologically connected to the 'awake' hemisphere remains open while the other eye is closed. Such unilateral ey...
متن کاملIsotope incorporation in broad-snouted caimans (crocodilians)
The trophic ecology and migration of vertebrate species have been increasingly studied using stable isotope analysis. However, this approach requires knowledge on how dietary isotopic values are reflected in consumers' tissues. To date, this information has only been obtained for a handful of ectotherms; in particular, little is known about crocodilians. In this study, diet-tissue discriminatio...
متن کاملChapter 19 Integumentary Sensory Organs in Crocodilians
Crocodilians, which include alligators and crocodiles, have a tough exterior with scales covering their dorsal and ventral surfaces. Living on earth before the dinosaurs, these reptilians have evolved a structure that has helped them adapt to the changing environment of earth. This structure is called an integumentary sensory organ (ISO). Integumentary is a term, which refers to the skin surfac...
متن کاملDistribution of endogenous retroviruses in crocodilians.
Knowledge of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) in crocodilians (Crocodylia) is limited, and their distribution among extant species is unclear. Here we analyzed the phylogenetic relationships of these retroelements in 20 species of crocodilians by studying the pro-pol gene. The results showed that crocodilian ERVs (CERVs) cluster into two major clades (CERV 1 and CERV 2). CERV 1 clustered as a sis...
متن کاملThe Molecular Circuit Regulating Tooth Development in Crocodilians.
Alligators have robust regenerative potential for tooth renewal. In contrast, extant mammals can either renew their teeth once (diphyodont dentition, as found in humans) or not at all (monophyodont dentition, present in mice). Previously, the authors used multiple mitotic labeling to map putative stem cells in alligator dental laminae, which contain quiescent odontogenic progenitors. The author...
