Development of the chondrocranium of two caiman species, Caiman latirostris and Caiman yacare [PDF]
Journal of Anatomy, 2019 AbstractLittle is known about the embryonic development and variation of the chondrocranium in Crocodylia and there are no works on any Caiman species. Due to the importance of cranial features in the systematics of this clade, investigating the development of the skull in embryonic stages is essential.

The respiratory mechanics of the yacare caiman (Caiman yacareDaudine) [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2018 The structure and function of crocodilian lungs are unique compared to other reptiles. We examine the extent to which this, and the semi-aquatic lifestyle of crocodilians affect their respiratory mechanics. We measured changes in intratracheal pressure in adult and juvenile caiman (Caiman yacare) during static and dynamic lung volume changes ...

Thermoregulation in captive broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) [PDF]
Zoological Studies, 2014 Crocodilians are ectothermic animals. For this reason, the environmental temperature has substantial effects on their physiology and behavior. The thermoregulatory behavior of these animals involves the selective use of different types of environments. This behavior enables them to reach the temperature level for their metabolic activities.

Immunotoxicity of commercial-mixed glyphosate in broad snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris)
Chemico-Biological Interactions, 2016 The expansion and intensification of agriculture during the past 50 years is unprecedented, and thus environmental problems have been triggered at different scales. These transformations have caused the loss of habitat and biodiversity, and disruption of the structure and functioning of ecosystems.

Human–crocodilian interactions in Latin America and the Caribbean region
Conservation Science and Practice, 2021 Mitigating harmful interactions with wildlife requires an understanding of the interactions between predators, domesticated animals and humans. Large‐scale transformations of crocodilian habitats across the Latin America and Caribbean region, alongside ...
