Osmoregulation by the broad-snouted caiman, Caiman latirostris , in estuarine habitat in southern Brazil [PDF]
Journal of Comparative Physiology B: Biochemical, Systemic, and Environmental Physiology, 1998 The broad-snouted caiman Caiman latirostris, of South America mostly frequents freshwater but occurs also in estuaries. Nothing of substance is known of its osmoregulatory physiology but, in the light of accumulating evidence that alligatorids lack specialised adaptations for life in hyperosmotic waters, we anticipated its physiology would be more ...

Disseminated Mycobacterium intracellulare infection in a broad-snouted caiman Caiman latirostris [PDF]
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2013 A 10 yr old broad-snouted caiman Caiman latirostris from a small Dutch animal park was presented with long-term variable periods of anorexia and weight loss. Blood chemistry showed slightly elevated uric acid levels and low ionised calcium concentration.

Development of the chondrocranium of two caiman species, Caiman latirostris and Caiman yacare [PDF]
Journal of Anatomy, 2019 AbstractLittle is known about the embryonic development and variation of the chondrocranium in Crocodylia and there are no works on any Caiman species. Due to the importance of cranial features in the systematics of this clade, investigating the development of the skull in embryonic stages is essential.

Distribution of populations of broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris, Daudin 1802, Alligatoridae) in the São Francisco River basin, Brazil Distribuição das populações de jacaré-do-papo-amarelo (Caiman latirostris, Daudin 1802, Alligatoridae) na bacia do Rio São Francisco, Brasil [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2010 We surveyed populations of the broad-snouted caiman, Caiman latirostris, throughout the São Francisco River basin, from Três Marias reservoir, State of Minas Gerais, to the river delta, at the boarder of Sergipe and Alagoas states.

The proteomics of roadside hawk (Rupornis magnirostris), broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) and loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) tears [PDF]
BMC Veterinary Research, 2020 Background Tears play an important role in ocular surface protection, and help wild animals maintain visual acuity in the face of air and water friction. The proteomics of tears has only been described for mammals. The knowledge of the proteomics of wild

Macrogeographic genetic variation in broad‐snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological Genetics and Physiology, 2008 AbstractBroad‐snouted caiman's (Caiman latirostris) geographic distribution comprises one of the widest latitudinal ranges among all crocodilians. In this study we analyzed the relationship between geographic distance (along the species latitudinal range) and genetic differentiation using DNA microsatellite loci developed for C.

New Mitogenomic Resources for the <i>Caiman yacare</i> (Daudin, 1802) From Bolivia. [PDF]
Ecol EvolNew mitochondrial genomes were generated to enhance the mitochondrial genetic resources available for Caiman yacare. Mitochondrial genomes of approximately 16 kb were obtained through genome skimming using Illumina sequencing technology. The assemblies revealed a composition typical of vertebrate mitogenomes, including 13 protein‐coding genes, 2 rRNA ...

Increasing Population Status of Broad-Snouted Caiman (Caiman latirostris) Based on Sustainable Use Strategies in a Managed Protected Area in Santa Fe, Argentina [PDF]
AnimalsPeople and crocodilians have engaged in interactions since the earliest human settlements. After many years of escalating non-regulated use, coupled with emerging threats such as habitat modification, environmental pollution, and the exponential growth ...

Size, not phylogeny, explains the morphology of the endosseous labyrinth in the crown clade Crocodylia. [PDF]
J AnatHere, we present the most complete dataset to date on the endosseous labyrinths of extant crocodylians. Using 3D geometric morphometrics, we show that allometry constitutes a major contributor of the shape variation of the crocodylian endosseous labyrinths and that the development of this structure is likely linked to the braincase conformation, in all

Cranial sexual discrimination in hatchling broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) [PDF]
Iheringia. Série Zoologia, 2007 Broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) hatchlings present a consistent sexual dimorphism in their cranium shape and size. Male hatchlings have smaller crania than females. Using multivariate statistical analyses it is possible to discriminate sex in broad-snouted caiman hatchlings by their cranial shape with a reasonable efficiency.
