Contractile function of fasting and digesting broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris)

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Zoology, 2023
Feeding regimes are a critical process to ensure survival and reproduction, which modulate several behavioral and physiological patterns of ectotherms, especially cardiovascular adjustments. However, crocodilian myocardial contractile function after food

Oculocardiac Reflex and Autonomic Modulation in a Broad-Snouted Caiman (Caiman latirostris)

open access: yesActa Scientiae Veterinariae
Background: The oculocardiac reflex (OCR) is a neurophysiological response mediated by the vagus nerve, triggering changes in heart rate and rhythm in response to pressure applied to the ocular globe.

Microgeographic variation in Caiman latirostris

Journal of Experimental Zoology, 2002
AbstractIn theory, geographic scale is related to genetic variation at the population level, whereas microgeographic scale may reveal intra‐population structure such as social groups and families. In the present work, both levels of genetic variation in the broad‐snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) were evaluated in small wetlands associated with the ...

Blood biochemistry parameters of Broad snouted caiman, Caiman latirostris subjected to stress conditions, appliying micro-volume techniques.

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A Ecological and Integrative Physiology, 2023
Plasma biochemistry values represent a crucial and minimally invasive tool for evaluating nutritional and physiological condition of the animal. Biochemical data provides valuable information in those species exposed to environmental stressors.

Microsatellite DNA library for Caiman latirostris

Journal of Experimental Zoology, 2002
AbstractNew genetic markers were characterized for the broad‐snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) by constructing libraries enriched for microsatellite DNA. Construction and characterization of these libraries are described in the present study. One microsatellite marker was developed from a (ACC‐TGG)nenriched microsatellite DNA library, and 12 ...

Effects of physical restraint and endogenous adrenocorticotropin challenges on corticosterone levels and immunological indexes in Caiman latirostris.

Canadian Journal of Zoology, 2022
In the wild, vertebrates face numerous unpredictable and harmful stressors such as storms, fires, earthquakes, tsunamis, and others. A typical physiological response to a perceived stressor is the increased secretion of glucocorticoids.

Detection of Leptospira spp. in Captive Broad-Snouted Caiman (Caiman latirostris)

EcoHealth, 2019
Leptospira sp. is an important waterborne zoonotic bacterium, known to cause infection in animals and humans worldwide. The role of reptiles in the transmission of this microorganism is poorly understood and historically neglected. This study aimed to investigate the presence of anti-Leptospira spp.

Allometry of Reproduction in Wild Broad-Snouted Caimans (Caiman latirostris)

Journal of Herpetology, 2004
We studied 20 nesting female Caiman latirostris and their clutches in Santa Fe Province, Argentina. We regressed clutch and egg parameters and hatchling size with several measurements of female size (ln-transformed) to evaluate the allometry of reproduction in the wild. Larger females produced relatively smaller clutches. Larger females produced larger
