Population density, human-crocodile conflict and genetic variation among saltwater crocodile, crocodylus porosus in Sarawak

The objective of this study aims to (i) determine the distribution and density of Crocodylus porosus in rivers of western Sarawak, (ii) assess socio-economic profile and matters related to human-crocodile conflicts within population of local peoples and (iii) analyze genetic variations of C. porosus...
