Genomic data reveals cryptic diversity and suggests five putative species in the broad-snouted caiman in South America.

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution
The inclusion of molecular data in evolutionary studies revealed a vast underestimation of species richness and allowed for assessing the relative importance of landscape features on the evolutionary history of species with different ecological ...

Integrated assessment of metal bioaccumulation and genotoxic biomarkers in blood of broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) from Northeastern Brazil.

Mutation Research. Genetic Toxicology and Environmental Mutagenesis
Environmental contamination by heavy metals poses a significant threat to aquatic biodiversity, however, the genotoxic effects in reptiles remain poorly understood, particularly in tropical ecosystems.

Postnatal development and histofunctional differentiation of the oviduct in the broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris)

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 ...

Identification and tissue‐specific expression of genes involved in lipid metabolism in broad‐snouted caiman

Journal of Zoology
Environmental contamination by chemical mixtures poses a growing threat to wildlife metabolic homeostasis, as many pollutants can disrupt lipid metabolism by acting on nuclear receptors, affecting energy balance, reproduction and immune response. However,

Combined metabolic bone diseases, medullary aplasia and bacterial pneumonia in broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris)

Aquaculture, 2020
Abstract Seven juvenile broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris), bred in captivity and subjected to a diet deficient in minerals and vitamins during the first months of life, developed intense cachexia and generalized loss of bone stiffness.

The temperature-sensitive period (TSP) during incubation of broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) eggs

Amphibia-Reptilia, 2007
Abstract All crocodiles studied to date exhibit temperature-dependent sex determination. During the many weeks from egg laying to hatch there is a period of 10 to 15 d in the middle third of incubation (in the American alligator) during which the sex of the embryo is irreversibly fixed ...

Serum Biochemical Profile, Intestinal and Liver Histomorphometry of Captive Broad-Snouted Caiman (Caiman latirostris) Fed With a Diet Enriched With Soybean (Glycine max).

Journal of animal physiology and animal nutrition
The impact of plant-based diets on crocodilians is unclear. Serum profiles and histomorphometry provide valuable insights into their nutritional and physiological status.

First record of leucism in broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) with morphological, clinical and conservation insights in white crocodilians

Amphibia-Reptilia
Caiman latirostris is a neotropical crocodilian widely distributed in Brazil, marked by a greenish-brown body, except by a yellowish-cream venter. Chromatic disorders remain unreported for C. latirostris .

Long‐term assessment of reproductive parameters of broad‐snouted caiman populations in agroecosystem areas of central‐northern Santa Fe, Argentina

Journal of Zoology
Anthropogenic activities such as agriculture and keeping livestock have significantly modified natural ecosystems, transforming them into agroecosystems and contributing to habitat loss and species decline.

Effect of Prenatal Exposure to Corticosterone on Broad-Snouted Caiman (Caiman latirostris) Hatchlings.

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A Ecological and Integrative Physiology
Living organisms face stressful situations and use endocrine mechanisms, such as glucocorticoid production, to maintain homeostasis. Although glucocorticoids are essential for basal function, their secretion increases when organisms face stressful ...
