About the Crocodilian Bibliography
Originally, I started putting this together for my own benefit. I wanted to be sure I knew everything I could about crocodilians that might affect their anatomy (which
is what I study). I'm sure many of you have done similar things... But after awhile, I realized I really had generated a very large number of references (many
obscure, but important), and thought how I'd wished that this list had existed a few years ago when I first started gathering articles. Which brings me to, "Why
make it into a web page?" Well, I thought that it would be nice to have an on-going repository for crocodilian biological work (at least the references anyway!). It's
my hope that researchers will go to the effort to e-mail me (not much effort here Click!) their references dealing with crocodilians. Then, with regular updates, the
bibliography will be a current source of information for crocodilian researchers for years to come!
In addition...I know that some who will use this won't work only on crocodilians, and that perhaps, they will go to the trouble of setting up similar bibliographies for
their main areas of interest. Then, perhaps students (and we're all students at some level) in a new area to them, will have easy reference to important literature. So,
if you want more info on how to set up your own bibliography like this...e-mail me (see below), and I'll help to get you started! This is a really exciting way to
contribute to the education of people around the world.
