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.

Macrogeographic genetic variation in broad‐snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris)
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.

Effects of In Vivo Exposure to Roundup® on Immune System of Caiman latirostris. [PDF]
, 2012 The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of Roundup® (RU, glyphosate-based formulation) on some parameters of the immune system and growth of Caiman latirostris. Seventy-two caimans (20-day-old) from Proyecto Yacaré (Gob. Santa Fe/MUPCN) were used.

Intraspecific isotopic niche variation in broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris)
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 ...

Palaeohistology of Macrospondylus bollensis (Crocodylomorpha: Thalattosuchia: Teleosauroidea) from the Posidonienschiefer Formation (Toarcian) of Germany, with insights into life history and ecology. [PDF]
Anat Rec (Hoboken)Abstract The Posidonienschiefer Formation of southern Germany has yielded an array of incredible fossil vertebrates. One of the best represented clades therein is Teleosauroidea, a successful thalattosuchian crocodylomorph group that dominated the coastlines.

Stage-based model of population dynamics and harvest of Broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) under different management scenarios [PDF]
, 2023 We created a matrix model structured by stages (divided into 5 stages) to evaluate the population dynamics of Caiman latirostris and the population behavior at different management intensities through ranching and hunting of adult individuals.

Disseminated Mycobacterium intracellulare infection in a broad-snouted caiman Caiman latirostris [PDF]
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2013 A 10 yr old broad-snouted caiman Caiman latirostris from a small Dutch animal park was presented with long-term variable periods of anorexia and weight loss. Blood chemistry showed slightly elevated uric acid levels and low ionised calcium concentration.
