Light microscopic and immunohistochemical study of the trachea of the broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) [PDF]
Veterinární Medicína, 2011 The purpose of this study was to examine the tracheal structure of the crocodile Caiman latirostris using light microscopy, histochemical and immunocytochemical techniques. The tracheal epithelium of C. latirostris consists of a ciliated pseudostratified

Growth Curves of Wild and Reintroduced Broad-Snouted Caimans (Caiman latirostris) and Their Management Implications [PDF]
South American Journal of Herpetology, 2020 We describe body growth functions of broad-snouted caimans (Caiman latirostris) for wild and reintroduced individuals. Snout-vent length (SVL, cm) and age of young individuals and adult females were recorded for two different groups: (Py) animals born in

Roars, Rumbles, and Resonance: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Crocodylian Acoustic Signals. [PDF]
Ecol EvolCrocodylians are highly vocal reptiles, possessing a complex acoustic signalling system including vocal and non‐vocal signals used for courtship, mating, mediating conflict, and providing maternal care. Despite this, research on crocodylian acoustic signalling remains infrequent, with methodologies and terminology varying widely across studies.

Clustering crocodylian dental morphology: Insights into functional adaptations, diet, and ontogeny. [PDF]
J AnatExtant crocodylians may be divided into five clusters based on the residuals of four linear dental measurements (y‐axes) and their variation along the jaw (x‐axes). These clusters correlate to snout shape, prey preference, and feeding ecology, particularly prey size and the degree of processing necessary. Multiple families and subfamilies were found in

Amphibia-Reptilia, 2022 Abstract Communal egg-laying is not frequently observed in crocodilians that exhibit nest attendance. However, it has been reported for both wild and captive Caiman latirostris. To understand the proximate causes of communal nesting, we aim to describe the nesting behavior of caimans during communal egg-laying in a captive population.
