Abstract:

This study surveyed the prevalence of chlamydial infection among farms in the mid-northeastern provincial cluster of Thailand by PCR and phylogenetic analyses of the sequences. Samples from 94 crocodiles were collected from 17 farms in five provinces together with farm management data. Chlamydiaceae was found in 48.94% of the samples (46/94). Of the 17 pooled samples analyzed using 16S rRNA sequencing, four samples exhibited 99.3 to 99.5% nucleotide identity with Chlamydia psittaci, three samples exhibited 99.1 to 99.3% nucleotide identity with C. crocodili, and one sample exhibited similarity to both species. The risk factors related to chlamydial infection included the source of young crocodiles and the frequency of water changes. Chlamydial infection was higher in nonclinical crocodiles than in clinical or dead crocodiles (P=0.003). Pharyngitis, fibrinous pharyngitis, hepatitis, pneumonia, and hydropericardium were commonly found in chlamydial-positive cases of ill or dead crocodiles. C. psittaci and C. crocodili were found in both clinical and nonclinical crocodiles. C. psittaci is a well-known zoonotic pathogen. C. crocodili is a new species found in Siamese crocodiles in Thailand. In conclusion, the source of young crocodiles and frequency of water changes were identified as risk factors for chlamydial infection in crocodile farms. C. crocodili should be further investigated to better understand its implications for crocodile heath.

Abstract:

Throughout Africa, feelings towards crocodiles vary according to the danger or fear experienced by communities living alongside them. Crocodile conservation programmes must therefore be based on reliable assessments of cultural attitudes towards these reptiles. In this study, we interviewed a random sample of 300 persons in six states in southern Nigeria to determine their perception of crocodiles. Our results revealed that most respondents were very familiar with crocodiles, with animals being regularly sighted but only in small numbers. Most interviewees were aware of just two crocodile types, consistently describing the dwarf crocodile (Osteolaemus tetraspis) and the West African Nile crocodile (Crocodylus [niloticus] suchus); only a minority of respondents reporting they were aware of the West African slender-snouted crocodile (Mecistops cataphractus).

Abstract:

Both species of native crocodile, Siamese Crocodile Crocodylus siamensis and Estuarine Crocodile C. porosus, are seriously threatened in the wild in Vietnam. The swamp forest of the U Minh region in southern Vietnam was recently suggested to harbor the last remaining wild Estuarine Crocodiles in the country. We investigated the status of crocodiles in the U Minh Thuong Nature Reserve by conducting field surveys and interviewing local people. Field surveys found no signs of living wild crocodiles, and interview results strongly suggested that wild crocodiles have not occurred at U Minh Thuong Nature Reserve for perhaps as long as 30 years.

Abstract:

Human-crocodile conflicts (HCC) are problems affecting crocodile conservation. Scientific publications on crocodile attack cases in Indonesia are few with low validation which hinder optimal conflict mitigation efforts. The estuarine river of Kutai National Park is a natural habitat for saltwater crocodiles and mostly nearby dense settlements. This study aims to map the distribution of saltwater crocodiles and potential conflicts in the Kutai National Park area. To predict the distribution of saltwater crocodiles, we used Maximum Entropy MAXENT with its environmental predictors i.e. slope, altitude, distance from shore, distance from river, temperature, and habitat types (mangrove forest, freshwater swamp, and shrubs). MAXENT prediction showed that elevation was the most influential variable with AUC (Average Under Curve) value of 0.952. Settlements with activities occurring within one kilometer from the river and those adjacent to coastal areas proved to be the highest in human conflicts with crocodiles. Key words: conflict, crocodile, human, MAXENT

Abstract:

Crocodiles have caused a relatively high number of fatalities towards local people in Sarawak, a Malaysian state in Borneo. However, they have important cultural values and are well respected by the riverine communities in the state. The objective of this study is to determine the patterns of human-crocodile conflict in Sarawak which could help in managing the problems between crocodile and human. Information on crocodile attacks were collected from multiple sources including records kept by local authority, media or CrocBITE database. Over a 21 years period (year 2000-2020), the record attacks (n=164) showed a balance between fatal and non-fatal cases. Most common victims in Sarawak were male (86.6%) and adults from the age of 31 to 40 years old (20.7%). The attacks occurred more during the daylight (59.4%), with the peak time for crocodile attacks was approximately between 1800 to 2359 hours (33.3%). Crocodile attacks occur slightly more during the wet season, from October to March (54.0%), with the highest one recorded in March (16.8%). Fishing (26.2%) and bathing (22.0%) in the rivers possess the highest risk of crocodile attack, suggesting that crocodiles are more likely to attack when the victim is in the water. The findings imply that crocodiles' attack pattern in Sarawak is associated with the people’s activities pattern. There is a need to update the database on crocodile attacks in Sarawak on -real time basis as this will facilitate the relevant agencies in formulating the strategies to reduce the number of crocodile attacks and ensuring the safety of the riverine communities.

Abstract:

AbstractCrocodilians show universal parental care, but few studies concentrate on this behavior in wild crocodiles. We studied nest and hatchling care in genetically pure wild American crocodiles (Crocodylus acutus) on two Caribbean islands of Mexico. From 2006 to 2009 we made direct observations of crocodile behavior upon discovery of nests and groups of hatchlings in Banco Chinchorro. In 2009, we installed camera traps at 4 nests from the time of their discovery to the hatching of each nest, in Banco Chinchorro and Cozumel Island. Twenty-one other species were observed to visit crocodile nests. No nest predation was observed but nine species represented some danger to nests and/or hatchlings. Females seemed to remain in the nest vicinity during incubation. There was variability in nest visit frequencies and no nest defense toward human intrusion was observed. Visit frequency by other species at nests decreased with increased crocodile visitation. Crocodiles mainly visited nests on darker nights, corresponding to the visits of species representing greater danger for nests. Repair of the nest by females after disturbance was observed for the first time in wild American crocodiles. Crocodile visits were more frequent at the beginning and the end of incubation, which could represent different antipredation strategies. Although adult crocodiles helped during hatching for the emergence of neonates, hatchling care seemed reduced compared to other crocodile species. We provide the first data on nesting behavior of genetically pure American crocodiles in the Yucatan peninsula, which provides a base for future comparisons with Morelet's crocodiles and their hybrids.

Abstract:

Farming and ranching crocodiles has of late attracted much entrepreneural attention in Africa especially in the SADCC region of Southern Africa where crocodiles still occur in abundance. There are two main reasons for this sudden interest. 1) Crocodile farming and ranching is rewarding in both economic and commercial terms; and 2) the economic value of crocodiles provides a good argument in support of sustainable conservation of the crocodile.

Abstract:

AbstractThe Siamese crocodile Crocodylus siamensis, now regarded as one of the world's most endangered crocodilians, was formerly common in the wetlands of southern Vietnam. Populations are thought to have declined in recent years, although quantitative status assessments are unavailable. We surveyed five areas previously believed to harbour the only remaining Siamese crocodile populations in Vietnam, and our results strongly suggest that viable populations are no longer extant. Crocodiles were not observed during spotlight counts of Crocodile Swamp (Nam Cat Tien National Park) or Lac Lake. Crocodiles do not occur in Upper or Lower Krong Pach Reservoirs, and these degraded sites no longer constitute suitable habitat. Remnant populations may exist in the Sere Pok River and Tay Son Lake, but these crocodiles remain subject to persecution. Population declines are attributed to a combination of hunting, habitat destruction, incidental capture in fishing nets and collecting for crocodile farms. Reintroduction to Nam Cat Tien National Park is recommended.

Abstract:

Context In Queensland, the management of estuarine crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus) by the government is important for ensuring public safety, especially along the populated east coast, where there is a large human population. Aims The present study aimed to determine historical, temporal and spatial patterns of human–crocodile conflict in Queensland. Methods The study used Queensland Government records of estuarine crocodile attacks (1971–2015), sightings by the general public (2003–2015), and removals and relocations for management purposes (1985–2015) to develop General Linear Models describing historical, temporal and spatial patterns. Key results The highest number of attacks, sightings, removals and relocations occurred along the populated east coast between Townsville and the Daintree during wet season months (November–February). There have been 35 crocodile attacks in Queensland since 1971 (total 0.8 per year; fatal 0.3 per year), mostly involving local people or regular visitors (77.1%), specifically adult males (71.4%; mean age 44). There has been an increase in the rate of crocodile attacks over time, with an average of 1.3 per year since 1996, most of which were non-fatal (84%). The number of crocodile sightings has been increasing annually (with a mean of 348 per year since 2011), while the number of crocodiles removed or relocated for management purposes (n = 608) has fluctuating widely each year (range 1–57). Conclusions The level of human–crocodile conflict in Queensland is increasing, and this is likely to be a consequence of increasing human and crocodile populations. While conflict is highest during the wet season, estuarine crocodiles pose a threat to public safety year round. Implications With the increase in conflict, the ongoing management of estuarine crocodiles, through targeted removals in and around areas of higher human habitation and through education, is essential for ensuring public safety into the future.

Abstract:

Since the first report of Mycoplasma-associated polyarthritis in farmed Nile crocodiles in 1995, the disease has spread across Zimbabwe and South Africa and has resulted in significant economic losses on infected farms. Due to poor response to antimicrobial treatment and frequent relapses, the use of an autogenous vaccine to manage disease outbreaks was evaluated. Two previous trials had been performed with a similar vaccine and the results suggested that the vaccine could be effective in alleviating disease, although the numbers of animals were limited in both. This trial aimed to evaluate an inactivated, alum-adjuvanted M. crocodyli whole-cell vaccine in a large group of yearling crocodiles under field conditions on a farm in Zimbabwe where repeated M. crocodyli outbreaks have been reported. The safety of the vaccine was assessed by administrating the vaccine intraperitoneally to a subset of crocodiles. No adverse clinical reactions were observed in any of these crocodiles. A group of two thousand two hundred crocodiles received two intramuscular vaccinations four weeks apart in the autumn of 2011, while another group of two thousand two hundred crocodiles served as unvaccinated controls. Serum was collected from a subset of the vaccinated and unvaccinated crocodiles at different time-points before and after vaccination to evaluate the humoral response to vaccination. Latex slide agglutination tests (LAT) were performed on all samples and positive samples were titrated with the latex slide agglutination test and metabolism inhibition assay. A low percentage of sera were positive with serological tests done prior to vaccination, suggesting either circulating Mycoplasma or maternal immunity. Statistically significant increase in sero-positivity was detected with LAT four weeks after primary vaccination, although the titre remained low. Six weeks after the booster vaccination the percentage seropositive vaccinated crocodiles had decreased and there were no statistically significant difference between the percentage seropositive vaccinated and unvaccinated crocodiles. A significant outbreak of Mycoplasma-like polyarthritis was encountered 6 months after vaccination, in October 2011. Both vaccinated and unvaccinated crocodiles were affected. Serum samples from different subsets of crocodiles were collected and evaluated similar to the vaccine trial. The results indicated that a similar rate of sero-positivity was present in all crocodiles, irrespective of vaccination- or disease status Sera collected during this trial was used to evaluate the performance of the latex slide agglutination assay compared to the metabolism inhibition assay (“Gold standard” assay), as the performance of the LAT had not been evaluated previously. The calculated diagnostic sensitivity was 72%, diagnostic specificity was 32%, the predictive value of the positive test was 36% while the predictive value of the negative test was 69%. This trial indicated that the autogenous, inactivated, alum-adjuvanted, whole-cell vaccine against M. crocodyli was not able to protect farmed Nile crocodiles on an infected farm against clinical Mycoplasma-associated polyarthritis. It was also found that the latex slide agglutination assay could be useful as a robust, pen-side assay to evaluate exposure to M. crocodyli, although other assays, such as PCR, bacterial culture or growth inhibition assays, has to be performed to confirm the presence of disease.

Abstract:

The lower Zambezi valley is an important conservation area for both Zambia and Zimbabwe, encompassing areas of varying levels of habitat and wildlife protection. Crocodiles have an important role in the ecosystem a well as a significant economic value, both attributes require careful management to ensure their preservation. This study investigated depredation of crocodile nests and estimated the population with a view to parameterising models which could be used to simulate harvesting strategies. Combined with a social survey the results are discussed in terms of enlightened crocodile management. The methodology encompassed four main areas: 1) An artificial crocodile nest experiment to ascertain levels of depredation at the egg stage. 2) Crocodile population surveys to estimate the abundance and size structure. 3) Deterministic stage-based and integral projection models compare observed to predicted population structure and the influence of harvesting regimes. 4) A questionnaire survey to determine the scale of human crocodile conflict and the associated issues. The local habitat characteristics of simulated crocodile nests correlated with depredation probability and time to nest death. The crocodile population shows evidence of increasing but differed from the predicted model stage structure, indicative of a population not yet at equilibrium. Crocodile density increased in areas that had higher levels of wildlife/habitat protection. An integral projection model indicated the complex inter-relationships between population biology parameters. Perturbations affecting the smallest as well as breeding size crocodiles may cause a significant impact to lambda and fertility selection. The current human crocodile conflict mitigation is minimal and ineffective. Canoe fishing is the highest risk activity followed by collecting water. The most popular mitigation suggestions were additional water access points in villages and for selective or total removal of crocodiles. An underlying dislike of crocodiles by the local populace needs to be addressed in order for successful long-term conservation.

Abstract:

Abstract The saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) forms the basis of a crocodile farming industry for the international skin trade in Australia. For this industry, mortalities from stress and disease are common due to a compromise of the adaptive immunity. Currently the genetic understanding of the immune response is poor, which in turn impedes an understanding of genes, and hence genetic markers, affecting disease susceptibility. As a key component of adaptive immunity is the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC), this thesis characterises the MHC genes with an emphasis on the saltwater crocodile and assesses genetic diversity, evolutionary mechanisms that are influencing diversity and their roles in adaptive immunity. The genetic diversity among saltwater crocodiles showed the number of MHC variants within an individual ranging from one to seven, indicating that there are at least four gene loci in this species. An association between a certain MHC variant and Lymphoid proliferation/ Vasculitis/ Encephalitis in saltwater crocodiles was identified (P = 0.00007), suggesting genetic susceptibility to the disease. Phylogenetic analyses showed that MHC variants from 20 species of Crocodylia clustered at the genus or family level rather than in species-specific groups, indicating orthologous relationships. Selection detection analyses showed that balancing selection influenced some classes of MHC in Crocodylia. In addition, construction of Bacterial Artificial Chromosome scaffolds in the saltwater crocodile showed MHC class I genes located along with antigen processing genes and a framework gene. This would support structural variation of the saltwater crocodile MHC that differs from that expected in tetrapod ancestors. This project offers a better understanding of immunogenetics and immunogenomics in Crocodylia and presents recommendations for future research, where these findings could serve as a foundation in order to achieve a complete picture of MHC in Crocodylia.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Yoga is a combination of physical, mental, and spiritual practices. It is an ideal stress reliever and a powerful therapy for mental and physical disorders. Since they were created, Swami Dev Murti’s “Crocodile Exercises” have significantly contributed to the yoga practice. Swami Dev Murti invented them after a thorough study of ancient yoga practices. These exercises are considered the most original and effective practice for dealing with spinal, lower back, and pectoral (shoulder) girdle issues. The survey aimed at monitoring the changes occurring in a human’s body after practicing “Crocodile Exercises” for 30 days. The research was conducted with 37 people of different ages with experience in yoga. А questionnaire survey, pedagogical experiment, and maths-statistical methods were used for the research to be carried out. The questionnaire card was used to determine the popularity of Swami Dev Murthy’s “Crocodile Exercises”. The pedagogical experiment involved performing the recommended yoga practice „Crocodile Exercises“ for 30 days. Test 1 (flexibility in the lower part of the spine) and Test 2 (shoulder girdle) were used to establish the level of spinal flexibility. The results were processed with the Microsoft Pack software package, particularly Microsoft Excel. After analyzing the results from the measurement of the flexibility in the lower part of the spine, it was found that the positive effect of the yoga practice “Crocodile Exercises” was much greater on women. The results from the measurement of the flexibility in the upper part of the spine showed a significant improvement in both sexes. All participants noted unequivocally, without exception, the positive effect of these exercises on their bodies. The results from the experiment revealed that the yoga practice “Crocodile Exercises” had a beneficial impact on the overall improvement in subjects’ physical, mental, and emotional states.

Abstract:

Theodore Roosevelt National Park (THRO) in western North Dakota was established for its historical connections with President Theodore Roosevelt. It contains not only historical and cultural resources, but abundant natural resources as well. Among these is one of the best geological and paleontological records of the Paleocene Epoch (66 to 56 million years ago) of any park in the National Park System. The Paleocene Epoch is of great scientific interest due to the great mass extinction that occurred at its opening (the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event), and the unusual climatic event that began at the end of the epoch (the Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum, an anomalous global temperature spike). It is during the Paleocene that mammals began to diversify and move into the large-bodied niches vacated by dinosaurs. The rocks exposed at THRO preserve the latter part of the Paleocene, when mammals were proliferating and crocodiles were the largest predators. Western North Dakota was warmer and wetter with swampy forests; today these are preserved as the “petrified forests” that are one of THRO’s notable features. Despite abundant fossil resources, THRO has not historically been a scene of significant paleontological exploration. For example, the fossil forests have only had one published scientific description, and that report focused on the associated paleosols (“fossil soils”). The widespread petrified wood of the area has been known since at least the 19th century and was considered significant enough to be a tourist draw in the decades leading up to the establishment of THRO in 1947. Paleontologists occasionally collected and described fossil specimens from the park over the next few decades, but the true extent of paleontological resources was not realized until a joint North Dakota Geological Survey–NPS investigation under John Hoganson and Johnathan Campbell between 1994–1996. This survey uncovered 400 paleontological localities within the park representing a variety of plant, invertebrate, vertebrate, and trace fossils. Limited investigation and occasional collection of noteworthy specimens took place over the next two decades. In 2020, a new two-year initiative to further document the park’s paleontological resources began. This inventory, which was the basis for this report, identified another 158 fossil localities, some yielding taxa not recorded by the previous survey. Additional specimens were collected from the surface, among them a partial skeleton of a choristodere (an extinct aquatic reptile), dental material of two mammal taxa not previously recorded at THRO, and the first bird track found at the park. The inventory also provided an assessment of an area scheduled for ground-disturbing maintenance. This inventory is intended to inform future paleontological resource research, management, protection, and interpretation at THRO. THRO’s bedrock geology is dominated by two Paleocene rock formations: the Bullion Creek Formation and the overlying Sentinel Butte Formation of the Fort Union Group. Weathering of these formations has produced the distinctive banded badlands seen in THRO today. These two formations were deposited under very different conditions than the current conditions of western North Dakota. In the Paleocene, the region was warm and wet, with a landscape dominated by swamps, lakes, and rivers. Great forests now represented by petrified wood grew throughout the area. Freshwater mollusks, fish, amphibians (including giant salamanders), turtles, choristoderes, and crocodilians abounded in the ancient wetlands, while a variety of mammals representing either extinct lineages or the early forebearers of modern groups inhabited the land. There is little representation of the next 56 million years at THRO. The only evidence we have of events in the park for most of these millions of years is isolated Neogene lag deposits and terrace gravel. Quaternary surficial deposits have yielded a few fossils...
