Sources of heat for nests of Paleosuchus trigonatus and a review of crocodilian nest temperatures.
Crocodilians normally incubate at temperatures >27oC. Stable temperatures >27oC are not naturally available in the tropical-rainforest habitat of Paleosuchus trigonatus. Most nests are placed at the side of, or on top of, termite mounds. Heat from the termite mound insulation by the nest material ma...
