Plasma Activity of the Broad-snouted Caiman (Caiman latirostris) [PDF]
, 2009 Crocodilians exhibit well-defined social behaviors, which frequently result in serious wounds as a consequence of social disputes including the loss of entire limbs. Despite the severity of many wounds, there is typically little sign of infection.

The glycoproteomics of hawk and caiman tears [PDF]
BMC Veterinary Research, 2021 Background Glycoproteins are important tear components that participate in the stability of the ocular surface. However, the glycopeptides that are present in the tears of wild animals have not yet been described.

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 ...

Morphological comparison of the larynx and trachea of Chelonia mydas (Linnaeus, 1758), Caiman yacare (Daudin, 1802) and Caiman latirostris (Daudin, 1802) [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de CiênciasThe larynx is in the lower respiratory tract and has the function of protecting the airways, controlling, and modulating breathing, assisting the circulatory system, and vocalizing. This study aims to describe the anatomy and histology of the skeleton of

Ontogenetic variability of the intertympanic sinus distinguishes lineages within Crocodylia. [PDF]
J Anat, 2023 We recognised the usefulness of the paratympanic sinuses in distinguishing major lineages within Crocodylia. 3D geometric morphometric approaches allow us to quantify the ontogeny and variability of the intertympanic sinus within one of the largest dataset of modern species, including one of the largest specimens ever scanned at such a high resolution.

Roars, Rumbles, and Resonance: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Crocodylian Acoustic Signals. [PDF]
Ecol EvolCrocodylians are highly vocal reptiles, possessing a complex acoustic signalling system including vocal and non‐vocal signals used for courtship, mating, mediating conflict, and providing maternal care. Despite this, research on crocodylian acoustic signalling remains infrequent, with methodologies and terminology varying widely across studies.

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
