A Survey of DNA Damage in American Alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) in Florida

Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis, Volume 67, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The scientific concept of One Environmental Health is a research strategy focused on the study of toxicants, aiming to incorporate human, wildlife, and ecosystem health to establish a more comprehensive understanding of health. A One Environmental Health approach, studying the responses of American alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) that ...

Histopathological description of an epidermoid cist in Caiman latirostris - case report [PDF]

Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia
Epidermoid cysts are rounded non-neoplastic lesions, sometimes ulcerated, diagnosed by histopathology, characterized by the inclusion of keratin in the dermis, surrounded by stratified squamous epithelium. Chronic skin trauma causes hyperkeratosis, which

BASELINE DATA ON HEMATOLOGICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS FOR THE USE OF WILD JUVENILE BROAD-SNOUTED CAIMAN (Caiman latirostris) AS BIOINDICATORS IN ATLANTIC FOREST, SOUTHEASTERN BRAZIL

, 2022
Crocodilians are considered as good indicators of ecosystem health since environmental conditions will influence them at individual (body condition and health parameters) and populational levels (population dynamics and behavior). Despite that, there are

Evaluation of factors associated with predation on Caiman latirostris nests (Crocodylia: Alligatoridae) in Argentina

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.

Histological and immunohistochemical study of the thyroid gland of the broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) - doi: 10.4025/actascibiolsci.v35i4.18444

Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2013
The broad-snouted caiman, Caiman latirostris, is widely distributed in countries of South America. In Brazil it is considered an endangered species because of natural habitat destruction and illegal hunting.

Growth Curves of Wild and Reintroduced Broad-Snouted Caimans (Caiman latirostris) and Their Management Implications [PDF]

, 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

Isotope incorporation in broad-snouted caimans (crocodilians)

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.

Developmental Patterns of Hepatic Peroxisome Proliferator‐Activated Receptor (PPAR) Expression in Xenopus laevis and Response to Pharmaceutical Agonists During Metamorphic Climax

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 343, Issue 10, Page 1191-1204, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptors (PPAR) are master transcriptional regulators that maintain metabolic homeostasis in vertebrates. Amphibians are often exposed to endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) that could dysregulate lipid metabolism.
