Diurnal use of space by captive adult broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris): Implications for pen design [PDF]

, 2006
Crocodilians generally present low reproductive success in captivity. The reasons for this are still unclear, but the faulty design of reproductive facilities can be a cause of stress, injuries and social disruption.

The taxonomic status of Farlowella colombiensis Retzer & Page 1997 with comments on species of the F. acus species group (Loricariidae: Loricariinae)

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 107, Issue 5, Page 1669-1684, November 2025.
Abstract The genus Farlowella has been historically challenging, in part due to the difficulty in defining diagnostic characters for defining and identifying the species. Farlowella colombiensis is one such example, whose diagnostic characters are based on caudal‐fin colour pattern, ventral pattern of body cover and anatomical details of the head, such

Host species and age‐specific variation on Hepatozoon prevalence and its effect on body condition in two Neotropical crocodiles

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 5, September 2025.
Many populations of species belonging to the order Crocodilia are threatened due to illegal trafficking, indiscriminate hunting, and habitat loss and degradation affecting crocodilian health and parasitic load. Although several studies have revealed that crocodiles, caimans, and alligators are frequently infected by Hepatozoon spp., the results from ...

Osteohistological signal from the smallest known phytosaur femur reveals slow growth and new insights into the evolution of growth in Archosauria

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 247, Issue 3-4, Page 556-575, September/October 2025.
The paucity of small, skeletally immature individuals representing the earliest ontogenetic stages of extinct archosaurs complicates our understanding of the growth dynamics within and between species. The opportune finding of the smallest phytosaur femora reveals slow growth, a surprising signal considering that larger phytosaurs in North America have

Intraspecific isotopic niche variation in broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) [PDF]

, 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.

Evolution of growth strategy in alligators and caimans informed by osteohistology of the late Eocene early‐diverging alligatoroid crocodylian Diplocynodon hantoniensis

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 247, Issue 1, Page 165-178, July 2025.
Living alligatoroids (alligators and caimans) share osteohistological features and display similar overall growth rates. However, it is unclear if these shared patterns are the result of convergent responses or reflect an ancestral condition. In this study, we histologically sampled nine femora of the fossil alligatoroid Diplocynodon hantoniensis to ...

From eggs to hatchlings: nest site taphonomy of american crocodile (Crocodylus acutus) and broad snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) [PDF]

, 2017
Nesting behaviors of extant vertebrates can serve as taphonomic models for interpreting extinct archosaurian reproduction. Past studies have examined birds with open nests and nest-bound young and tortoises with buried nests and precocial young.

Anatomical peculiarities of the broad-snouted caiman’s limb bones (Caiman latirostris)

, 2020
The aim of the study was the highlight of the specific characters of the limb bones in broad-snouted caiman, and for that, the investigations were conducted on the bones which were collected from a dead broad-snouted caiman that belonged to Bârlad Zoo.
