Temperature variation in nests of Caiman crocodilus (Crocodylia: Alligatoridae)
Acta Herpetologica, 2007 Caiman crocodilus is a widely distributed species in the Neotropics; however, studies of incubation temperatures in wildlife are uncommon. Incubation temperature in four nests of Caiman crocodilus were measured with a digital thermometer, in the National

Clutch size of Caiman latirostris (Crocodylia: Alligatoridae) varies on a latitudinal gradient [PDF]
, 2009 The distribution of the Broad-Snouted Caiman (Caiman latirostris) ranges from 5°S to 32°S. Thus, caiman populations are exposed to different climatic conditions, and this latitudinal gradient could affect aspects of their reproduction.

Size, not phylogeny, explains the morphology of the endosseous labyrinth in the crown clade Crocodylia. [PDF]
J AnatHere, we present the most complete dataset to date on the endosseous labyrinths of extant crocodylians. Using 3D geometric morphometrics, we show that allometry constitutes a major contributor of the shape variation of the crocodylian endosseous labyrinths and that the development of this structure is likely linked to the braincase conformation, in all

Early life differences in behavioral predispositions in two Alligatoridae species. [PDF]
Anim Cogn, 2021 AbstractBehavioral predispositions are innate tendencies of animals to behave in a given way without the input of learning. They increase survival chances and, due to environmental and ecological challenges, may vary substantially even between closely related taxa.

Cloacal mycobiota in wild females of Caiman latirostris (Crocodylia: Alligatoridae)
Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2013 There are few reports of cloacal mycobiota on wild reptiles, and in particular, fungal presence and functionin Caiman latirostris remains unknown. Our objective was to describe the fungal community present in the cloaca ofwild female broad-snouted caimans during their reproductive season determine whether the number of fungi has somerelationship with ...

Roars, Rumbles, and Resonance: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Crocodylian Acoustic Signals. [PDF]
Ecol EvolCrocodylians are highly vocal reptiles, possessing a complex acoustic signalling system including vocal and non‐vocal signals used for courtship, mating, mediating conflict, and providing maternal care. Despite this, research on crocodylian acoustic signalling remains infrequent, with methodologies and terminology varying widely across studies.
