Hematological values of wild Caiman latirostris (Daudin, 1802) in the Atlantic Rainforest in Pernambuco, Brazil

Acta Herpetologica, 2021
Hematological studies in crocodilians are important tools in the evolutionary diagnosis and control of sicknesses, such as anaemia, malnutrition, dehydration, inflammation, and parasitism, among others.

Nest-sharing behavior of captive Broad-snouted caimans (Caiman latirostris): cooperation or exploitation?

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.

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

SCIENCE AND ANIMAL HEALTH, 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

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.

Disruption of the developmental programming of the gonad of the broad snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) after in ovo exposure to atrazine

Environmental science and pollution research international, 2023
Environmental exposure to agrochemicals during early stages of development can induce subtle alterations that could permanently affect normal physiology. Previously, we reported that in ovo exposure to atrazine (ATZ) disrupts testicular histoarchitecture

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 ...

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.

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.

Basal frequency of micronuclei and hematological parameters in the Side-necked Turtle, Phrynops hilarii (Duméril & Bibron, 1835) [PDF]

, 2015
The present study aimed to evaluate basaleline frequency of micronuclei (MN) and reference values for hematological values parameters in adult Phrynops hilarii in order to propose this aquatic turtle, broadly distributed in our region, as a biological ...
