Translocation, genetic structure and homing ability confirm geographic barriers disrupt saltwater crocodile movement and dispersal.
Translocated saltwater crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus) in the Northern Territory (NT) of Australia often return to their original capture sites, which complicates management interventions aimed at reducing human-crocodile conflict. We examined the spatial events implicated in this homing ability, us...
