The Crocodylomorpha arose approximately 230 mya in the late Triassac (Irmis et al., 2013). The Crocodylomorpha underwent considerable ecological radiation including multiple marine invasions, multiple transitions from a semi-aquatic to fully terrestrial taxa, and even some bipedal forms (Kim et al., 2020;Wilberg et al., 2019).The Crocodylia, the crown group of the Crocodyliformes which includes all the extant taxa, arose in the early Cretaceous (Turner & Pritchard, 2015), and also underwent extensive ecological radiation.One of the characteristic features of the early (Novas et al., 2021) and extant (Montefeltro et al., 2016) Crocodylia is the presence of a meatal chamber on the dorsolateral surface of the skull enclosed, in part, by earflaps. Shute and Bellairs (1955) provided the first detailed description of the earflaps, and the associated musculature, of a crocodilian; though
We isolated three mycobacteriophages that belong to cluster S, namely, Beelzebub, Raela, and RedRaider77. Annotation revealed a genome structure typical of cluster S phages, including an atypical location of two minor tail protein genes in the right arm of these viral genomes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
