How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Genetic and morphometric variability in Caiman latirostris (broad‐snouted caiman), Reptilia, Alligatoridae

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological Genetics and Physiology, 2009
AbstractCaiman latirostris (broad‐snouted caiman) is a crocodilian species from Argentina subject of management plans. The goal of this study was estimating the distribution of genetic variability using RAPD markers and quantitative traits in wild populations of C. latirostris from Santa Fe province, Argentina.

New Mitogenomic Resources for the Caiman yacare (Daudin, 1802) From Bolivia

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
New mitochondrial genomes were generated to enhance the mitochondrial genetic resources available for Caiman yacare. Mitochondrial genomes of approximately 16 kb were obtained through genome skimming using Illumina sequencing technology. The assemblies revealed a composition typical of vertebrate mitogenomes, including 13 protein‐coding genes, 2 rRNA ...

Effects of Incubation and Rearing Temperatures on Caiman latirostris Growth [PDF]

, 2010
Different studies found that incubation temperature has an influence on the size of Caiman latirostris hatchlings and determines their gonadal sex. Experimental manipulations revealed that the effects of temperature on growth are independent of sex ...

Hematology and Blood Biochemistry of Young Healthy Broad-Snouted Caimans (Caiman latirostris)

Journal of Herpetology, 2011
Abstract Caiman latirostris (Broad-Snouted Caiman) is widely distributed in wetlands and rivers of South America. Hematological and blood chemistry reference values are necessary for detecting the effects of environmental, infectious, parasitic, or toxicological stress on C. latirostris health.

A Taxa de conversão do alimento (FCR) do Caiman latirostris é mais eficiente a temperaturas mais elevadas [PDF]

, 2009
The effects of temperature on the growth of Caiman latirostris were investigated in order to evaluate the efficiency of food conversion at 29 and 33°C. Sixty-eight captive raised animals, two months old, taken from four nests, were used.
