Spatial resolving power and spectral sensitivity of the saltwater crocodile, Crocodylus porosus, and the freshwater crocodile, Crocodylus johnstoni.
Crocodilians are apex amphibious predators that occupy a range of tropical habitats. In this study, we examined whether their semi-aquatic lifestyle and ambush hunting mode are reflected in specific adaptations in the peripheral visual system. Design-based stereology and microspectrophotometry were used to assess spatial resolving power and spectral sensitivity of saltwater (Crocodylus porosus)...
متن کاملElectrical activation of the ventricular myocardium of the crocodile Crocodylus johnstoni : a combined microscopic and electro
We mapped the sequence of ventricular depolarization in the crocodile Crocodylus johnstoni. We also attempted to find specialized conduction tissue within the ventricular myocardium. Electrical recordings with miniature multi-point electrodes revealed two strands of rapidly conducting tissue (channels) within the interventricular septum, suggestive of conductive tissue pathways. From these sept...
متن کاملBehavioural postures and the rate of body temperature change in wild freshwater crocodiles, Crocodylus johnstoni.
I recorded body temperature and behaviour of eight Crocodylus johnstoni in the wild over a 2-yr period in order to quantify the effect of posturing on body temperature and to provide a mechanistic explanation of how behaviour affects body temperature. Behaviour was categorised according to the proportion of a crocodile's surface area exposed from the water (0% exposed [=diving] to 100% exposed ...
متن کاملForelimb muscle and joint actions in Archosauria: insights from Crocodylus johnstoni (Pseudosuchia) and Mussaurus patagonicus (Sauropodomorpha)
Many of the major locomotor transitions during the evolution of Archosauria, the lineage including crocodiles and birds as well as extinct Dinosauria, were shifts from quadrupedalism to bipedalism (and vice versa). Those occurred within a continuum between more sprawling and erect modes of locomotion and involved drastic changes of limb anatomy and function in several lineages, including saurop...
