Disturbed areas promote more parental care and less nesting preference in females of broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) [PDF]
Animal WelfareThe successful survival of crocodilian hatchlings is largely dependent upon nest care by females. Nonetheless, it is crucial to understand how environmental degradation affects nest site selection and parental behaviour in female crocodilians. Therefore,
