A new Crocodyloidea from the middle Eocene of Zamora (Duero Basin, Spain)
Abstract The eusuchian crocodyliforms recorded in the Eocene levels of the Spanish Duero Basin belong to three lineages: Planocraniidae, with the species Duerosuchus piscator; Alligatoroidea, represented by several specimens of the genus Diplocynodon; and Crocodyloidea, which includes several specimens traditionally attributed to Asiatosuchus.

Here, we present the most complete dataset to date on the endosseous labyrinths of extant crocodylians. Using 3D geometric morphometrics, we show that allometry constitutes a major contributor of the shape variation of the crocodylian endosseous labyrinths and that the development of this structure is likely linked to the braincase conformation, in all

This study investigates the spatial variability of ecological and evolutionary patterns in amphibian and reptile lineages within the Amazon Basin. Our findings highlight distinct diversity patterns across lineages and ecoregions. ABSTRACT Understanding spatial variability in ecological and evolutionary patterns is key to Amazonian biodiversity ...

Ultraviolet radiation-induced genotoxic effects in the broad-snouted caiman, Caiman latirostris
Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) has many positive effects, but overexposure of organisms can generate alterations in DNA, either directly or indirectly, inducing mutagenic and cytotoxic lesions.

In vitro evaluation of synergistic activity between ciprofloxacin and broad snouted caiman serum against Escherichia coli [PDF]
The in vitro synergistic activity between ciprofloxacin and serum of broad snouted caiman on Escherichia coli was studied. The estimated MIC value of ciprofloxacin was 0.0188 Μg/ml, and two assays of kill curve during 5 hours were performed: the first ...

Parentage test in broad-snouted caimans (Caiman latirostris, Crocodylidae) using microsatellite DNA
In this study, microsatellite markers, developed for Alligator mississipiensis and Caiman latirostris, were used to assess parentage among individuals from the captive colony of Caiman latirostris at the University of São Paulo, in Piracicaba, São Paulo,

Red fire ant (solenopsis invicta) effects on Broad-Snouted Caiman (Caiman latirostris) nest success [PDF]
Flooding and predation are the two major causes for the decline in hatching rate and hatchling survival in crocodilian species. Recently, Solenopsis invicta (Red Fire Ant) has been recognized as a formidable invasive species, causing changes in wild ...
