Femora from alligators with eggs in the nest were significantly less robust (dense) than those of the other groups except those with hard\u2010shelled oviducal eggs. Cross sections from the midshaft of femora from alligators with eggs in the nest were significantly more porous than those from all the other groups. The results indicated that calcium was mobilized from the femoral shaft shortly before eggs were laid and that femoral density returned to normal levels for mature alligators 1\u20132 months after egg\u2010laying.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/jmor.1051930309","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,2,24]],"date-time":"2005-02-24T16:40:53Z","timestamp":1109263253000},"page":"317-321","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Changes in femoral robusticity and porosity during the reproductive cycle of the female alligator (<i>Alligator mississippiensis<\/i>)"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"193","author":[{"given":"Carole S.","family":"Wink","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ruth M.","family":"Elsey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elizabeth M.","family":"Hill","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,2,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","first-page":"47","article-title":"Methods of capturing, marking and sexing alligators","volume":"17","author":"Chabreck R.
