Immunotoxicity of commercial-mixed glyphosate in broad snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris)
Chemico-Biological Interactions, 2016 The expansion and intensification of agriculture during the past 50 years is unprecedented, and thus environmental problems have been triggered at different scales. These transformations have caused the loss of habitat and biodiversity, and disruption of the structure and functioning of ecosystems.

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.

Irregularly calcified eggs and eggshells of Caiman latirostris (Alligatoridae: Crocodylia)
Naturwissenschaften, 2013 We describe irregularly calcified egg and eggshell morphologies for the first time in nests of the broad-snouted caiman, Caiman latirostris. Research is based on detailed descriptions of 270 eggs from a total sample of 46,800 collected between 2005 and 2011 in Santa Fe Province, Argentina, and encompasses animals from both natural habitats and held in ...

Analyzing the Life History of Caimans: The Growth Dynamics of Caiman latirostris From an Osteohistological Approach. [PDF]
J MorpholThis 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 ...

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.

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

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.

Evolution of growth strategy in alligators and caimans informed by osteohistology of the late Eocene early-diverging alligatoroid crocodylian Diplocynodon hantoniensis. [PDF]
J AnatLiving alligatoroids (alligators and caimans) share osteohistological features and display similar overall growth rates. However, it is unclear if these shared patterns are the result of convergent responses or reflect an ancestral condition. In this study, we histologically sampled nine femora of the fossil alligatoroid Diplocynodon hantoniensis to ...

The velar chord and dynamic integration of the gular valve in crocodylians. [PDF]
Anat Rec (Hoboken)Crocodilians have a unique gular valve that forms a seal between the oral cavity and the pharynx. The gular valve has traditionally been treated as two parts: a mobile ventral flap associated with the tongue and a fixed dorsal velum palatini. This work describes a connective tissue band, the velar chord, which functionally integrates the two parts of ...

Tear meniscometry test in wild animals [PDF]
Ciência Rural, 2019 : This study aimed to describe strip meniscometry test values for Amazona aestiva (turquoise-fronted amazon), Ara ararauna (blue-and-yellow macaw) and Caiman latirostris (broad-snouted caiman).
