Incubation Temperature Affects Body Size, Energy Reserves, and Sex of Hatchling Alligators
… mass, and energy reserves of hatchling alligators. The effect of incubation temperature on hatchling genitalia was also studied. I evaluated and tested a method for determining the sex of hatchling alligators. Large scale incubation of alligator eggs allowed a study of inter-clutch …

Proteomic Analysis of the Blood of <i>Alligator mississippiensis</i>
… 6 presents results for a lectin isolated from alligators that have mannan and mannose binding activity. In this study, the monomeric lectin was isolated and enzymatically digested using five different proteases to create small and large peptides which were analyzed by LC-MS/MS. The peptides …
