Cranial sexual discrimination in hatchling broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) Discriminación de sexo en neonatos de yacaré overo (Caiman latirostris) [PDF]
Iheringia: Série 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.

Winter survivorship of hatchling broad-snouted caimans (Caiman latirostris) in Argentina [PDF]
Ethnobiology and Conservation, 2022 The first life stage of crocodilians is considered the most critical in terms of survival, particularly in regions that have well-defined cold seasons. To estimate this parameter for hatchling broad-snouted caimans, Class I (CI = snout-vent length < 25 ...

Plasma Activity of the Broad-snouted Caiman (Caiman latirostris) [PDF]
, 2009 Crocodilians exhibit well-defined social behaviors, which frequently result in serious wounds as a consequence of social disputes including the loss of entire limbs. Despite the severity of many wounds, there is typically little sign of infection.

Allometry of reproduction in broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) [PDF]
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 ...

Isotope incorporation in broad-snouted caimans (crocodilians) [PDF]
Biology Open, 2013 Summary The trophic ecology and migration of vertebrate species have been increasingly studied using stable isotope analysis. However, this approach requires knowledge on how dietary isotopic values are reflected in consumers' tissues.

Biomarkers of genotoxicity, immunotoxicity and oxidative stress on Caiman latirostris (Broad-snouted caiman) hatchlings exposed to pesticide formulations and mixtures widely used in agriculture [PDF]
Environmental Advances, 2021 Pesticide formulations are currently considered as one of the main factors responsible for environmental contamination worldwide. Consequently, several wild species can be affected by the over use of pesticides related to agriculture activity. The aim of

Osmoregulation by the Broad-Snouted Caiman, "Caiman latirostris", in Estuarine Habitat in Southern Brazil [PDF]
Journal of Comparative Physiology B: Biochemical, Systemic, and Environmental Physiology, 1998 The broad-snouted caiman Caiman latirostris, of South America mostly frequents freshwater but occurs also in estuaries. Nothing of substance is known of its osmoregulatory physiology but, in the light of accumulating evidence that alligatorids lack ...

The relationship between nesting habitat and hatching success in Caiman latirostris (Crocodylia, Alligatoridae) [PDF]
Phyllomedusa: Journal of Herpetology, 2006 The Broad-snouted Caiman uses different habitats for nesting; it has temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD) and nesting habitat selection by females could affect sex and other hatchlings characteristics.
