Effects of In Vivo Exposure to Roundup® on Immune System of Caiman latirostris. [PDF]

, 2012
The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of Roundup® (RU, glyphosate-based formulation) on some parameters of the immune system and growth of Caiman latirostris. Seventy-two caimans (20-day-old) from Proyecto Yacaré (Gob. Santa Fe/MUPCN) were used.

Intraspecific isotopic niche variation in broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris)

Isotopes in Environmental and Health Studies, 2013
Strategies to minimise intraspecific competition are common in wild animals. For example, individuals may exploit food resources at different levels of the food chain. Analyses of stable isotopes are particularly useful for confirming variations in an intraspecific niche because the chemical composition of animals tends to reflect both the food ...

Cross-species microsatellite amplification in South American Caimans (Caiman spp and Paleosuchus palpebrosus)

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2006
Microsatellite DNA markers have been used to assess genetic diversity and to study ecological behavioral characteristics in animals. Although these markers are powerful tools, their development is labor intensive and costly.

Extending the paleontology-biogeography reciprocity with SDMs: Exploring models and data in reducing fossil taxonomic uncertainty. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Historically, studies aimed at prospecting and analyzing paleontological and neontological data to investigate species distribution have developed separately. Research at the interface between paleontology and biogeography has shown a unidirectional bias,

Effective population size of broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) in Brazil: A historical and spatial perspective

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021
Caiman latirostris has a large geographic distribution, that includes Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay. In Brazil illegal hunting and land use change have caused population decline, relatively well documented in the last three decades ...

Análisis multivariado de los cambios hemáticos y morfométricos de Caiman latirostris y Caiman yacare según especie, sexo y estación del año [PDF]

, 2010
Para optimizar la cría en cautiverio de los caimanes es necesario encontrar dietas que aceleren su crecimiento. Las dietas pueden evaluarse a través de los aumentos del peso, dimensiones corporales e indicadores nutricionales sanguíneos.

Mapping knowledge to guide conservation action: Trends in broad-snouted caiman research [PDF]

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
The broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) is a key species in South American wetlands with ecological, cultural, and economic importance. Despite its significance, no systematic effort has quantified research trends and gaps.

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.

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 ...
