Thermoregulation in captive broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) [PDF]
Zoological Studies, 2014 Crocodilians are ectothermic animals. For this reason, the environmental temperature has substantial effects on their physiology and behavior. The thermoregulatory behavior of these animals involves the selective use of different types of environments. This behavior enables them to reach the temperature level for their metabolic activities.

Mapping knowledge to guide conservation action: Trends in broad-snouted caiman research [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de CiênciasThe broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) is a key species in South American wetlands with ecological, cultural, and economic importance. Despite its significance, no systematic effort has quantified research trends and gaps.

Macrogeographic genetic variation in broad‐snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological Genetics and Physiology, 2008 AbstractBroad‐snouted caiman's (Caiman latirostris) geographic distribution comprises one of the widest latitudinal ranges among all crocodilians. In this study we analyzed the relationship between geographic distance (along the species latitudinal range) and genetic differentiation using DNA microsatellite loci developed for C.

Contractile function of fasting and digesting broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris)
Canadian Journal of Zoology, 2023 Feeding regimes are a critical process to ensure survival and reproduction, which modulate several behavioral and physiological patterns of ectotherms, especially cardiovascular adjustments. However, crocodilian myocardial contractile function after food intake remains understudied.

Intraspecific isotopic niche variation in broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) [PDF]
Isotopes in Environmental and Health Studies, 2013 Strategies to minimise intraspecific competition are common in wild animals. For example, individuals may exploit food resources at different levels of the food chain. Analyses of stable isotopes are particularly useful for confirming variations in an intraspecific niche because the chemical composition of animals tends to reflect both the food ...

Effective population size of broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) in Brazil: A historical and spatial perspective [PDF]
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021 Caiman latirostris has a large geographic distribution, that includes Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay. In Brazil illegal hunting and land use change have caused population decline, relatively well documented in the last three decades ...

Abundance and local range of broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris, Alligatoridae) in the northwest of Santa Catarina Island [PDF]
Biotemas, 2008 This is the first report on the distribution and relative abundance of the broad-snouted caiman on Santa Catarina Island. The study estimated the relative abundance of caiman along the rivers at Estação Ecológica de Carijós, in addition to evaluating the

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.
