The extensive literature on crocodilian morphometrics focuses either on cranial morphology or body size indicators such as Total Length (TL), Snout-Vent Length (SVL) and Body Mass (BM). So far I have found very few research dealing with relative limb proportions in living crocodilians (e.g., Ouboter, 1996; Farlow & Britton, 2000).
Hello Masaya,
That is very interesting, I would really like to read your manuscript, if possible. Limb proportions are not a common subject in crocodilian studies.
Jorge.
Sure, I have all of those. Please check the direct message I sent you.
Apparently this elusive work has additional information on crocodilian proportions, but I have not been able to find it so far:
Junprasert, S. and Youngprapakorn, P. (1994) Head length proportion and predictable equation of Siamese crocodile’s body length at Samutprakan Crocodile Farm and Zoo. Journal of the Thai Association for Trade in Reptiles and Amphibians 1 (1), 45–46.
