[edit] crocodylidae or gavialidae ?

English version of the False Gavial is indicating it is a gavialidae..

French version is indicating it is a Crocodylidae (including in the Taxon box)..

Neither are siting sources for this information... I have therefore added a 'CN' tag for the line describing the False Gavial to be a gavialidae.

Thanks ! (unfortunatelly, the cite doesn't point to anywhere !) Ivan Scott Warren 15:57, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Tried to fix it, but can't get it to work.. Not very at that.. sorry. Ivan Scott Warren 16:07, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

And (not meaning to be a party pooper..) but access to that article requires a subscription! (the abstract itself only hints at the actual contents)..Ivan Scott Warren 16:13, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

It was the only one I could find at the moment. I remember hearing about an immuno-assay being done that was the basis for it. This may be that paper, but, we should look again on Scholar.google again later.--Mr Fink 20:04, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

There is apparently another paper that is referenced by the reptile database on T. Schlegelii : Willis, Ray E.; L. Rex McAliley, Erika D. Neeley and Llewellyn D. Densmore III 2007. Evidence for placing the false gharial (Tomistoma schlegelii) into the family Gavialidae: Inferences from nuclear gene sequences. Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 43 (3): 787-794. I have not read the paper nor found any online copy of it (and there is 99.8% chance I wouldn't understand it ANYWAY since I am neither a zoologist, biochemist nor a herpetologist). But (from the title) that would seem to be a definite source. (PS : L. D. Densmore III seem to have contributed to both papers). Ivan Scott Warren 14:16, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
