Cranial sexual discrimination in hatchling broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) [PDF]
Iheringia - Serie Zoologia, 2007 Broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) hatchlings present a consistent sexual dimorphism in their cranium shape and size. Male hatchlings have smaller crania than females. Using multivariate statistical analyses it is possible to discriminate sex in broad-snouted caiman hatchlings by their cranial shape with a reasonable efficiency.

Diurnal use of space by captive adult broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris): Implications for pen design [PDF]
Aquaculture, 2006 Crocodilians generally present low reproductive success in captivity. The reasons for this are still unclear, but the faulty design of reproductive facilities can be a cause of stress, injuries and social disruption.

Detection of Leptospira spp. in Captive Broad-Snouted Caiman (Caiman latirostris)
EcoHealth, 2019Leptospira sp. is an important waterborne zoonotic bacterium, known to cause infection in animals and humans worldwide. The role of reptiles in the transmission of this microorganism is poorly understood and historically neglected. This study aimed to investigate the presence of anti-Leptospira spp.

Genital anatomy and copulatory interactions in the broad snouted Caiman (
AbstractThe broad snouted caiman is a crocodylian native to South America that is subject to extensive conservation management in both wild and farming environments. Although reproductive behaviors like egg laying and clutch care have been examined in this species, little else is known about their copulatory system.

Allometry of Reproduction in Wild Broad-Snouted Caimans (Caiman latirostris)
Journal of Herpetology, 2004We studied 20 nesting female Caiman latirostris and their clutches in Santa Fe Province, Argentina. We regressed clutch and egg parameters and hatchling size with several measurements of female size (ln-transformed) to evaluate the allometry of reproduction in the wild. Larger females produced relatively smaller clutches. Larger females produced larger

General and Comparative Endocrinology, 2016
Caiman latirostris is a South American crocodilian species characterized as a sentinel of the presence of endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs). Evaluating developmental events in hormone-dependent organs, such as the oviduct, is crucial to understand physiological postnatal development, to identify putative periods of exposure sensitive to EDCs, and ...

Regression equations between body and head measurements in the broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) [PDF]
Revista Brasileira De Biologia, 2000 In the present study, regression equations between body and head length measurements for the broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) are presented. Age and sex are discussed as sources of variation for allometric models. Four body-length, fourteen head-length, and ten ratio variables were taken from wild and captive animals.

In vitro evaluation of synergistic activity between ciprofloxacin and broad snouted caiman serum against Escherichia coli [PDF]
Research in Veterinary Science, 2015 The in vitro synergistic activity between ciprofloxacin and serum of broad snouted caiman on Escherichia coli was studied. The estimated MIC value of ciprofloxacin was 0.0188 Μg/ml, and two assays of kill curve during 5 hours were performed: the first ...

AbstractThe broad‐snouted caiman, Caiman latirostris (Daudin, 1802), is one of the six crocodilian species from Brazil. The topography, morphology and morphometry of the broad‐snouted caiman heart were studied. Data were obtained from the necropsy of four adult animals, three females and one male.
