Size structure of illegally harvested and surviving caiman Caiman crocodilus yacare in Pantanal, Brazil

Biological Conservation, 1996
The Yacare caiman Caiman crocodilus yacare is protected by law in Brazil but is hunted illegally. Until now, few authorities have had access to data that might allow analysis of the effect of hunting. We used measurements from 2978 confiscated hides and 1358 skulls found in hunters' camps between October 1987 and September 1990 to reconstruct the sizes

Preliminary characterization of a Kazal-type serine protease inhibitor from Caiman crocodilus yacare plasma

Immunopharmacology, 1999
Blood serine protease inhibitors are becoming better understood and increasingly applied in blood clotting, cancer and other diseases. Reptiles are suitable models for blood coagulation and related processes, moreover, caiman is a good comparative model of a non-poisonous reptile.

ABSTRACTDifferences in rainfall between years influenced the proportions of different types of nesting habitats ofCaiman crocodilus yacareavailable near water bodies in a region of intermittent rivers (Campo Dora Ranch). In contrast, rainfall had little effect on the proximity of nesting habitat to water bodies in a region of isolated lakes (Nhumirim ...

Effect of UV‐C radiation on Salmonella spp. reduction and oxidative stability of caiman (Caiman crocodilus yacare) meat

Journal of Food Safety, 2018
AbstractNon‐UV‐C dose and 0.005, 0.010, 0.016, 0.037, 0.065, 0.105, 0.127, and 0.199 J/cm2 were applied in inoculated agar plates and in inoculated caiman (Caiman crocodilus yacare) meat to investigate the reduction of Salmonella spp. Moreover, noninoculated caiman meat was submitted to the same treatments and was evaluated for color parameters (L*, a*,
