Spatial and Temporal Variation in Reproduction of a Generalist Crocodilian, Caiman crocodilus yacare, in a Seasonally Flooded Wetland. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 We monitored the number of caiman (Caiman crocodilus yacare) nests in two ranches in the Brazilian Pantanal that cover an area of about 50.000 ha for 28 years (1987-2014).

Growth of Caiman crocodilus yacare in the Brazilian Pantanal. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2014 We studied growth of the caiman, Caiman crocodilus yacare, in the Brazilian Pantanal for 27 years between 1987 and 2013.We recaptured 647 of 7769 C. c. yacare initially marked in an area of 50 km(2), in two ranches. We were able to determine size at age accurately for 24 male and17 female caimans that had been marked at hatching or less than 1 year old,

Temperature variation in nests of Caiman crocodilus (Crocodylia: Alligatoridae)
Acta Herpetologica, 2007 Caiman crocodilus is a widely distributed species in the Neotropics; however, studies of incubation temperatures in wildlife are uncommon. Incubation temperature in four nests of Caiman crocodilus were measured with a digital thermometer, in the National

Agricultural input modifies trophic niche and basal energy source of a top predator across human-modified landscapes [PDF]
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Land-use conversion and resulting habitat fragmentation can affect the source(s) of primary productivity that fuels food webs and alter their structure in ways that leads to biodiversity loss. We investigated the effects of landscape modification on food

Economic aspects of production of Caiman crocodilus yacare [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2015 The breeding of crocodilians is still a recent activity in Brazil. Its peak was in the 1990's, but it has gaps in its production, as there are no norms for the commercial breeding of these animals in captivity.
