Trifold origin of the reptilian ear ossicle and its relation to the evolutionary modification of the temporal skull region. [PDF]

J Anat
The columella‐complex in reptile middle ears involves the footplate, columella shaft, and extracolumella. The latter is partly of quadrate developmental origin, whereas the footplate derives from the mesodermal otic capsule, the shaft and another part of the extracolumella from the hyoid arch.

Clustering crocodylian dental morphology: Insights into functional adaptations, diet, and ontogeny. [PDF]

J Anat
Extant crocodylians may be divided into five clusters based on the residuals of four linear dental measurements (y‐axes) and their variation along the jaw (x‐axes). These clusters correlate to snout shape, prey preference, and feeding ecology, particularly prey size and the degree of processing necessary. Multiple families and subfamilies were found in

Embryological development of Caiman latirostris (Crocodylia: Alligatoridae) [PDF]

genesis, 2008
AbstractA standard development embryological series is the primary basis to organize information of any embryological study and is also used to determine the age of eggs and embryos in field conditions. In this article, we calibrate developmental series of the broad‐snouted caiman, Caiman latirostris, against an established series for Alligator ...

ISOLATION OF SALMONELLA SPP. FROM YACARE CAIMAN (CAIMAN YACARE) AND BROAD-SNOUTED CAIMAN (CAIMAN LATIROSTRIS) FROM THE ARGENTINE CHACO

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2011
Presence of Salmonella spp. was evaluated in yacare caiman (Caiman yacare) and broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) from a ranching facility in the Argentine Chaco. Crocodilian ranching programs are based on captive breeding of wild-harvested eggs and release of excess hatchlings into the wild.

Broad snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) growth under different rearing densities [PDF]

Aquaculture, 2008
Abstract The effect of density on growth in body mass (BM) and total length (TL) of Caiman latirostris hatchlings raised in small pens (area 0.36 m2), for 3 months, was investigated. Twelve animals from each of three clutches were randomly distributed (1, 2 or 3 individuals) to two replicates at low rearing density (LRD: 0.12 m2/individual), medium ...

Light microscopic and immunohistochemical study of the trachea of the broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) [PDF]

Veterinární Medicína, 2011
The purpose of this study was to examine the tracheal structure of the crocodile Caiman latirostris using light microscopy, histochemical and immunocytochemical techniques. The tracheal epithelium of C. latirostris consists of a ciliated pseudostratified

Baroreflex control of heart rate in the broad-nosed caiman Caiman latirostris is temperature dependent

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Molecular & Integrative Physiology, 2010
It has been suggested that ectothermic vertebrates primarily control blood pressure to protect the pulmonary vasculature from oedema caused by high pressure, while endothermic vertebrates control blood pressure to maintain adequate oxygen delivery to the tissues. In the present study we have characterised how temperature affects the cardiac limb of the
