The phylogenetic signal, although existing, is quite moderate, and sadly cannot be 'translated' into relevant morphological characters. This study will be useful and raises several problems for the inclusion of fossil forms, to study ecological changes for example.

Through a very thorough sampling of extant crocs (111 specimens of diverse ontogenetic stages and taxa) we show that the morphology of the endosseous labyrinth is mainly related to the size of the specimen (allometry) and probably to changes in braincase conformation.

Glad you noticed, I admit this was more about displaying the closest overall body shape possible for each clade than anything else :) Happy that you like the paper and thanks again for making your work available to the community 🐊🐊

I tried to put in as much references as possible, summarizing decades of research, so a good place to start to get interested in this group, or (hopefully) to get a global overview.
