Parentage test in broad-snouted caimans (Caiman latirostris, Crocodylidae) using microsatellite DNA [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2009 In this study, microsatellite markers, developed for Alligator mississipiensis and Caiman latirostris, were used to assess parentage among individuals from the captive colony of Caiman latirostris at the University of São Paulo, in Piracicaba, São Paulo,

“Intracascaral space” an eggshell structure of Caiman latirostris eggs [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 In recent decades, eggshells of eggs from large-bodied reptiles have been studied by many researchers, to describe the eggshell, to compare them to extinct lineages that once inhabited our planet and also to understand how the egg provides the embryo ...

Unexpected morphological variability in the eggshells of the South American caimans Caiman latirostris and Caiman yacare [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Eggshell morphology is a valuable indicator of the local conditions within the nests of modern crocodilians and birds. In contrast to these latter, the anatomical structure of the eggshells of most crocodilian species is practically unknown.

Allometry of reproduction in broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2001 In the present study regression equations are established between broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) captive reproductive females snout-vent length (SVL) and body mass (BM) and the following clutch characteristics: egg mass, egg "length" (maximal ...

Presence of Leptospira spp. in Caiman latirostris (Crocodylia, Alligatoridae) populations in Santa Fe, Argentina [PDF]
Heliyon, 2020 Leptospirosis is a disease caused by pathogenic spirochetes of the genus Leptospira, transmitted by wild and domestic animals. Rodents play a fundamental role in the transmission cycle of this zoonosis but the function of reptiles is unknown. For example,

Analyzing the Life History of Caimans: The Growth Dynamics of Caiman latirostris From an Osteohistological Approach. [PDF]
J MorpholABSTRACT Skeletochronology and growth dynamics are intensively investigated in vertebrate osteohistology. These techniques are particularly important for interpreting the life history of long‐lived species, such as crocodilians.

A three-dimensional geometric morphometric analysis of the morphological transformation of Caiman lower jaw during post-hatching ontogeny [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Shape ontogenetic changes of the lower jaw in crocodylians are poorly understood. In order to answer some questions related to the inter- and intraspecific morphological variation of the mandible of two extant Caiman species, we performed a three ...
