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 ...

Immunotoxicity of commercial-mixed glyphosate in broad snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris).
Chemico-Biological Interactions, 2016 The expansion and intensification of agriculture during the past 50 years is unprecedented, and thus environmental problems have been triggered at different scales. These transformations have caused the loss of habitat and biodiversity, and disruption 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 ...

Evaluation of factors associated with predation on Caiman latirostris nests (Crocodylia: Alligatoridae) in Argentina [PDF]
Phyllomedusa: Journal of Herpetology, 2016 Predation is a major cause of crocodilian egg loss. However, at present, the mechanisms by which predators detect nests is unknown. Previous studies have reported that predators are able to detect prey using both visual and olfactory cues.

Geographic distribution and conservation status of Caiman latirostris (Crocodylia, Alligatoridae) in Uruguay [PDF]
Phyllomedusa: Journal of Herpetology, 2006 Populations of Caiman latirostris are known to occur in Uruguay but their geographic distribution remains uncertain. This work presents an update of the species distribution and conservation status in Uruguay.

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.

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.

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 ...
