Oculocardiac Reflex and Autonomic Modulation in a Broad-Snouted Caiman (Caiman latirostris)
Acta Scientiae VeterinariaeBackground: The oculocardiac reflex (OCR) is a neurophysiological response mediated by the vagus nerve, triggering changes in heart rate and rhythm in response to pressure applied to the ocular globe.

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

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, 2021 In many reptiles, digestion has been associated with the selection of higher body temperatures, the so-called post-prandial thermophilic response. This study aimed to investigate the excitation-contraction (E-C) coupling in postprandial broad-snouted ...

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.

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
