| reptilian chemistry: volatile compounds from paracloacal glands of the american crocodile (crocodylus acutus). | the secretion of the paracloacal glands of the american crocodile (crocodylus acutus) contains over 80 lipophilic compounds, including saturated and unsaturated long-chain alcohols along with their formic, acetic, and butyric acid esters, and several isoprenoids. most of these compounds were identified on the basis of mass spectra, obtained by gc-ms. in addition, identification of the major components was supported by infrared spectra obtained by gc-ftir. major differences are indicated in the c ... | 2002 | 12035925 |

| hearing in the crocodilia. | measurements of auditory sensitivity in terms of the cochlear potentials were made in young specimens of three species of crocodilians, caiman crocodilus and alligator mississipiensis of the subfamily alligatorinae and crocodylus acutus of the subfamily crocodylinae. these species show considerable similarity in their capabilities for sound reception. all have the best sensitivity in a fairly broad middle range, and fall off for lower tones and particularly rapidly for the high tones. the level ... | 1971 | 5283940 |
| dde in eggs of two crocodile species from belize. | organochlorine (oc) residues were recently detected in nonviable morelet's crocodile (crocodylus moreletii) eggs from northern belize. to further the assessment of contaminant exposure in belizean crocodiles, nonviable morelet's crocodile eggs (n = 11) from southern belize and american crocodile (crocodylus acutus) eggs (n = 12) from the coastal zones of belize were screened for 20 ocs. results indicated p,p-dde to be the most prevalent oc (96% occurrence) in eggs examined, with concentrations r ... | 2000 | 11141295 |
| organochlorine residues in eggs of loggerhead and green sea turtles nesting at merritt island, florida--july and august 1976. | eggs from nine clutches of loggerhead turtles (caretta caretta) and two clutches of green turtles (chelonia mydas) were collected as they were laid on merritt island, florida. eggs were incubated, frozen, and analyzed for organochlorines. levels of dde and pcb, the major contaminants, averaged less than 0.08 ppm in loggerhead eggs and were even lower in green turtle eggs. these concentrations are far below levels thought to be potentially harmful. loggerhead eggs were frozen after 43-52 days inc ... | 1980 | 6775282 |
