Analyzing parasite-host specificity, geographic distribution, and taxonomy can provide otherwise cryptic details about crocodilian ecology and evolution, as well as their local food web dynamics. This information is critical for improved conservation tactics for both crocodilians and their habitat. As climate change, anthropogenic conflict, and environmental pollution endanger crocodilian ecosystems, there is a need for organized information on crocodile, alligator, caiman, and gharial infectious diseases. This volume meets this need by delivering the first checklist of crocodilians and their parasites for researchers and scholars in biology, herpetology, and ecology in order to further the knowledge and study of crocodilian-parasite dynamics and improve our understanding of human impacts on ecosystems.University of California publications in zoology ;v. 136.CrocodiliansHost-parasite relationshipsalligators.anthropogenic conflict.biology.caimans.climate change.conservation.crocodiles.crocodilia.crocodilian evolution.crocodilians.crocodylia.ecology.ecosystems.environment.environmental pollution.evolutionary ecology.false gharial.gharial.herpetology.host.human impact.infectious diseases.local food web dynamics.natural habitat.parasite host relationship.parasite host specificity.parasite.parasitism.predators.scientists.semiaquatic reptiles.symbiotic relationship.taxonomy.theoretical.Crocodilians.Host-parasite relationships.597.9817857Tellez Christina Marisa1473988MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910790424703321A checklist of host-parasite interactions of the order crocodylia3687385UNINA
