Osmoregulation by the Broad-Snouted Caiman, "Caiman latirostris", in Estuarine Habitat in Southern Brazil [PDF]

, 1998
The broad-snouted caiman Caiman latirostris, of South America mostly frequents freshwater but occurs also in estuaries. Nothing of substance is known of its osmoregulatory physiology but, in the light of accumulating evidence that alligatorids lack ...

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 ...

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.

Disseminated Mycobacterium intracellulare infection in a broad-snouted caiman Caiman latirostris [PDF]

Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2013
A 10 yr old broad-snouted caiman Caiman latirostris from a small Dutch animal park was presented with long-term variable periods of anorexia and weight loss. Blood chemistry showed slightly elevated uric acid levels and low ionised calcium concentration.

Histological and immunohistochemical study of the thyroid gland of the broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) - doi: 10.4025/actascibiolsci.v35i4.18444

Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2013
The broad-snouted caiman, Caiman latirostris, is widely distributed in countries of South America. In Brazil it is considered an endangered species because of natural habitat destruction and illegal hunting.

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.

Physiological and morphological responses to feeding in broad-nosed caiman (Caiman latirostris) [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2007
SUMMARY Broad nosed caiman are ectotherm sauropsids that naturally experience long fasting intervals. We have studied the postprandial responses by measuring oxygen consumption using respirometry, the size changes of the duodenum, the distal small intestine, and the liver, using repeated non-invasive ultrasonography, and by investigating
