Integrative paleophysiology of the metriorhynchoid Pelagosaurus typus (Pseudosuchia, Thalattosuchia)

The Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 2, Page 394-411, February 2025.
Abstract Paleophysiology is an emergent discipline. Organismic (integrative) approaches seem more appropriate than studies focusing on the variation of specific features because traits are tightly related in actual organisms. Here, we used such an organismic approach (including lifestyle, thermometabolism, and hunting behavior) to understand the ...

Oculocardiac Reflex and Autonomic Modulation in a Broad-Snouted Caiman (Caiman latirostris)

Acta Scientiae Veterinariae
Background: The oculocardiac reflex (OCR) is a neurophysiological response mediated by the vagus nerve, triggering changes in heart rate and rhythm in response to pressure applied to the ocular globe. While well-documented in humans and other mammals, the OCR remains less explored in reptiles, particularly crocodilians.

Analyzing the Life History of Caimans: The Growth Dynamics of Caiman latirostris From an Osteohistological Approach

Journal of Morphology, Volume 286, Issue 1, January 2025.
This research offers insights into the life history and growth dynamics of Caiman latirostris, highlighting their growth patterns, aging, and attainment of sexual maturity, and how environmental conditions impact their development. This study has direct implications for understanding the life histories of extinct archosaurs and other sauropsids ...

Red Fire Ant (Solenopsis invicta) Effects on Broad-Snouted Caiman (Caiman latirostris) Nest Success

Journal of Herpetology, 2015
Abstract Flooding and predation are the two major causes for the decline in hatching rate and hatchling survival in crocodilian species. Recently, Solenopsis invicta (Red Fire Ant) has been recognized as a formidable invasive species, causing changes in wild populations of reptiles.

Insights into the Ecology and Evolutionary Success of Crocodilians Revealed through Bite-Force and Tooth-Pressure Experimentation [PDF]

, 2012
BackgroundCrocodilians have dominated predatory niches at the water-land interface for over 85 million years. Like their ancestors, living species show substantial variation in their jaw proportions, dental form and body size. These differences are often
