Effect of human-mediated migration and hybridization on the recovery of the American crocodile in Florida (USA)

2011-04-01

Abstract excerpt

The American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus) is a large apex predator with an extensive but fragmented range. Crocodylus acutus suffered a population crash and was almost extirpated from Florida (USA) during the 1970s; however, in 2007 it was federally downlisted from endangered to threatened based on an increase of suitable habitat and a growing population. A genetic assessment of this population has not been perfo...
