Thermoregulation in captive broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) [PDF]
Zoological Studies, 2014 Crocodilians are ectothermic animals. For this reason, the environmental temperature has substantial effects on their physiology and behavior. The thermoregulatory behavior of these animals involves the selective use of different types of environments. This behavior enables them to reach the temperature level for their metabolic activities.

Contractile function of fasting and digesting broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris)
Canadian Journal of Zoology, 2023 Feeding regimes are a critical process to ensure survival and reproduction, which modulate several behavioral and physiological patterns of ectotherms, especially cardiovascular adjustments. However, crocodilian myocardial contractile function after food intake remains understudied.

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,

Winter survivorship of hatchling broad-snouted caimans (Caiman latirostris) in Argentina
Ethnobiology and Conservation, 2022 The first life stage of crocodilians is considered the most critical in terms of survival, particularly in regions that have well-defined cold seasons. To estimate this parameter for hatchling broad-snouted caimans, Class I (CI = snout-vent length < 25 cm), we released 36 caimans (18 in 2018, and 18 in 2019) born in captivity that were equipped ...

Mapping knowledge to guide conservation action: Trends in broad-snouted caiman research [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de CiênciasThe 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.
