The proteomics of roadside hawk (Rupornis magnirostris), broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) and loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) tears [PDF]
BMC Veterinary Research, 2020 Background Tears play an important role in ocular surface protection, and help wild animals maintain visual acuity in the face of air and water friction. The proteomics of tears has only been described for mammals. The knowledge of the proteomics of wild

Body Condition of Reproductive and Non-Reproductive Broad-Snouted Caiman Females [PDF]
Animals, 2023 In this work, we calculated the body condition indices, K-Fulton and scaled mass index (SMI), of reproductive and non-reproductive Caiman latirostris adult females as an indication of stored energy.

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.

Clustering crocodylian dental morphology: Insights into functional adaptations, diet, and ontogeny. [PDF]
J AnatExtant crocodylians may be divided into five clusters based on the residuals of four linear dental measurements (y‐axes) and their variation along the jaw (x‐axes). These clusters correlate to snout shape, prey preference, and feeding ecology, particularly prey size and the degree of processing necessary. Multiple families and subfamilies were found in

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,

Presence of Leptospira spp. in Caiman latirostris (Crocodylia, Alligatoridae) populations in Santa Fe, Argentina [PDF]
Heliyon, 2020 Leptospirosis is a disease caused by pathogenic spirochetes of the genus Leptospira, transmitted by wild and domestic animals. Rodents play a fundamental role in the transmission cycle of this zoonosis but the function of reptiles is unknown. For example,

Allometry of reproduction in broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris)
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2001 In the present study regression equations are established between broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) captive reproductive females snout-vent length (SVL) and body mass (BM) and the following clutch characteristics: egg mass, egg "length" (maximal ...
