Snout-vent length (SVL cm) and body mass of Paleosuchus palpebrosus (Pp) and Paleosuchus trigonatus (Pt) used in the study.
The code for the individual is the same as that used on the figures.

Water-level variation of the Jaci River, tributary of the Madeira River, in the reservoir area of the Santo Antônio Dam (upper graphs).
Distances moved from the point of origin by four Paleosuchus palpebrosus and four Paleosuchus trigonatus at different times during the study. The dam was filled in November 2011.

Distances moved between relocations (m) by phases in relation to water level for four male Paleosuchus palpebrosus (A, B, C) and four male Paleosuchus trigonatus (D, E, F).

Results of the linear mixed-effects model to explain the movements between locations of four male P. palpebrosus (sppp) and four male P. trigonatus (sppt) radio-monitored in the Santo Antônio Hydroelectric Dam (SAHD), Brazil.
Fig 3.
Map locations of four individuals of Paleosuchus palpebrosus that were first captured in the locations shown in the upper map.
Each horizontal panel represents one individual in different periods related to dam filling. The identifying numbers on each map indicate the individual (before the stroke) and the year of the observations (after the stroke). The map of the reservoir was produced in the Argis Desktop 10 program (www.esri.com/argis) by Santo Antônio Energia (SAE). The figure was created in the Spring 5.5.0 program (www.dpi.inpe/spring).
