Mechanics of the basilar membrane in Caiman crocodilus

Hearing Research, 1985
Vibration measurements were made at a number of positions near the proximal (basal) end of the basilar membrane, and on the columella footplate, of Caiman crocodilus using a capacitive probe. The measurements established the existence of a mechanical travelling wave in this species.

An ecological study of Caiman crocodilus crocodilus inhabiting savanna lagoons in the Venezuelan Guayana

Oecologia, 1978
Mark and recapture studies were carried out for three and a half years on a population of Caiman c. crocodilus inhabiting a savanna lagoon system in the Venezuelan Guayana. Sub-adult and adult caimans migrated from permanent lagoon refuges to temporary lagoons during the wet season.

Morphology and function of the parathyroid gland of the caiman, Caiman crocodilus

General and Comparative Endocrinology, 1976
Abstract The juvenile caiman, Caiman crocodilus , possesses two to six parathyroid glands which are embedded in the thymus, one to three on either side of the body. The number is subject to individual variation. In specimens having three parathyroids on one side of the body, the smallest may be designated as an accessory parathyroid. The parathyroid

Cochlear potentials and auditory evoked potentials in the caiman (Caiman crocodilus (L.))

Electroencephalography and Clinical Neurophysiology, 1990
Brain-stem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs) and round window compound action potentials (CAPs) in response to rarefaction and condensation clicks were recorded from anaesthetized and artificially respired caiman. The recorded wave forms were substantially different from the brain-stem and round window potentials recorded in mammals, including man. In

The Hearing of the Caiman, Caiman crocodilus

1990
The caiman is an alligator which, together with the crocodiles and gavials, form the few remaining reptilian descendents of the huge group of ruling diapsid reptiles of the Mesozoic period, the archosaurs (Fig. 1.2). They are closely related to the birds, a relationship which is immediately apparent in a comparison of the structure of the inner ear ...

Morphology of the ovary of Caiman crocodilus (Crocodylia: Alligatoridae)

Annals of Anatomy - Anatomischer Anzeiger, 2004
We describe the ovarian histology and characterize the folliculogenesis of adult females of Caiman crocodilus in order to compare them with other species of Reptilia. The gonad has a thin irregular cortex and a well-developed reticular stroma, composed of vascularized chordae, drained by large lymphatic vessels and separated by extensive lacunae ...

Thalamic reticular nucleus in Caiman crocodilus: forebrain connections

Neuroscience Letters, 2016
Forebrain connections of the thalamic reticular nucleus associated with the lateral forebrain bundle were analyzed in Caiman crocodilus. Both the compact portion, the dorsal peduncular nucleus, and the diffuse part, the perireticular region, associated with the lateral forebrain bundle, were studied.

Notes on a population of Caiman crocodilus crocodilus depleted by hide hunting in Surinam

Biological Conservation, 1983
Abstract In 1978 and 1979 large-scale hide-hunting took a heavy toll of a population of spectacled caimans Caiman c. crocodilus in northern Surinam. In the first three months of 1981 a preliminary inventory was carried out on the remainder of this population by means of night counts and size estimates.

The dorsal column nucleus in a reptile, Caiman crocodilus

Neuroscience Letters, 1983
The dorsal column nucleus of Caiman crocodilus was identified by using standard orthograde techniques to trace the degeneration that resulted from dorsal rhizotomies in brachial and lumbar regions. Although the dorsal column nucleus was difficult to locate in Nissl and fiber preparations, it was easily identified in histochemical material because it ...
