Assessing abundance-suitability models to prioritize conservation areas for the dwarf caimans in South America. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study identified conservation priorities for the South American dwarf caimans (Paleosuchus palpebrosus and P. trigonatus) relying on robust species distribution and abundance models. We support that environmental suitability and spatial abundance are not always congruent and cannot be considered reliable surrogates for one another, and ...

Irregularly calcified eggs and eggshells of Caiman latirostris (Alligatoridae: Crocodylia)
Naturwissenschaften, 2013 We describe irregularly calcified egg and eggshell morphologies for the first time in nests of the broad-snouted caiman, Caiman latirostris. Research is based on detailed descriptions of 270 eggs from a total sample of 46,800 collected between 2005 and 2011 in Santa Fe Province, Argentina, and encompasses animals from both natural habitats and held in ...

The relationship between nesting habitat and hatching success in Caiman latirostris (Crocodylia, Alligatoridae) [PDF]
Phyllomedusa: Journal of Herpetology, 2006 The Broad-snouted Caiman uses different habitats for nesting; it has temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD) and nesting habitat selection by females could affect sex and other hatchlings characteristics.

Phyllomedusa: Journal of Herpetology, 2022 Patterns of growth of crocodilians vary geographically within the same species, so models developed in one area may not predict size-age relationships in others. We used recapture data for three females and six males of Paleosuchus trigonatus from
