Trifold origin of the reptilian ear ossicle and its relation to the evolutionary modification of the temporal skull region [PDF]
The columella‐complex in reptile middle ears involves the footplate, columella shaft, and extracolumella. The latter is partly of quadrate developmental origin, whereas the footplate derives from the mesodermal otic capsule, the shaft and another part of the extracolumella from the hyoid arch.

Analyzing the Life History of Caimans: The Growth Dynamics of Caiman latirostris From an Osteohistological Approach [PDF]
This research offers insights into the life history and growth dynamics of Caiman latirostris, highlighting their growth patterns, aging, and attainment of sexual maturity, and how environmental conditions impact their development. This study has direct implications for understanding the life histories of extinct archosaurs and other sauropsids ...

Assessing abundance–suitability models to prioritize conservation areas for the dwarf caimans in South America [PDF]
This study identified conservation priorities for the South American dwarf caimans (Paleosuchus palpebrosus and P. trigonatus) relying on robust species distribution and abundance models. We support that environmental suitability and spatial abundance are not always congruent and cannot be considered reliable surrogates for one another, and ...

Spleen morphology and vascularization in the alligator (Caiman crocodilus yacare – Daudin, 1802)
The Caiman crocodilus yacare is found from northern Argentina to the southern Amazon basin, mainly occurring in Pantanal. Its food consists of fishes and other aquatic vertebrates and invertebrates, such as crabs, winkles, and insects.

Morphological and cytochemical observations of blood cells of Caiman crocodilus yacare (Daudin, 1802) (Reptilia, Crocodilia) [PDF]
Foram utilizados 10 jacarés Caiman crocodilus yacare, colhendo-se 5 ml do sangue periférico de cada animal. A análise morfológica foi realizada após coloração por Leishman. Para estudo citoquímico, empregaram-se os métodos do PAS, do Sudan black B, da o-toluidina e do azul de bromofenol.

Salting kinetics and salt diffusivities in farmed Pantanal caiman muscle [PDF]
The legal Pantanal caiman (Caiman crocodilus yacare) farming, in Brazil, has been stimulated and among meat preservation techniques the salting process is a relatively simple and low-cost method.

Caiman meat is considered exotic and its consumption has significantly increased due to its nutritional quality. This study aimed to evaluate the kinetics of water content (WC) and salt content (SC) at different temperatures (1, 5, 10 and 15 °C) and to evaluate the use of mathematical models to predict the mass transfer kinetics until equilibrium ...
