Regression equations between body and head measurements in the broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Biologia, 2000 In the present study, regression equations between body and head length measurements for the broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) are presented. Age and sex are discussed as sources of variation for allometric models. Four body-length, fourteen head-length, and ten ratio variables were taken from wild and captive animals.

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, 2021 AbstractIn 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 caimans (Caiman latirostris) in response to acute warming within a preferred body temperature ...

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.

Alterations in the Expression of Antioxidant Enzyme Genes in Response to Pesticide Exposure During Embryonic Development in the Native Reptile Species Caiman latirostris [PDF]
, 2022 The aim of this study was to quantify the expression levels of Catalase (cat) and copper, zinc Superoxide dismutase (Cu, Zn-sod) genes involved in the antioxidant response in Caiman latirostris (broad-snouted caiman) blood, after embryonic exposure to ...

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
