Unexpected morphological variability in the eggshells of the South American caimans Caiman latirostris and Caiman yacare [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Eggshell morphology is a valuable indicator of the local conditions within the nests of modern crocodilians and birds. In contrast to these latter, the anatomical structure of the eggshells of most crocodilian species is practically unknown.

A three-dimensional geometric morphometric analysis of the morphological transformation of Caiman lower jaw during post-hatching ontogeny [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Shape ontogenetic changes of the lower jaw in crocodylians are poorly understood. In order to answer some questions related to the inter- and intraspecific morphological variation of the mandible of two extant Caiman species, we performed a three ...

Low temperatures reduce skin healing in the Jacaré do Pantanal (Caiman yacare, Daudin 1802) [PDF]
Biology Open, 2013 Summary Studies of skin wound healing in crocodilians are necessary given the frequent occurrence of cannibalism in intensive farming systems. Air temperature affects tissue recovery because crocodilians are ectothermic.

Economic aspects of production of Caiman crocodilus yacare [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2015 The breeding of crocodilians is still a recent activity in Brazil. Its peak was in the 1990's, but it has gaps in its production, as there are no norms for the commercial breeding of these animals in captivity.

Growth of Caiman crocodilus yacare in the Brazilian Pantanal.
PLoS ONE, 2014 We studied growth of the caiman, Caiman crocodilus yacare, in the Brazilian Pantanal for 27 years between 1987 and 2013.We recaptured 647 of 7769 C. c. yacare initially marked in an area of 50 km(2), in two ranches.

What is your diagnosis? Blood film from a Yacare caiman (Caiman yacare) [PDF]
Veterinary Clinical Pathology, 2022 AbstractBACKGROUNDCaiman, as well as having skin that, after tanning, produces leather of high added value, exceptional quality and good market value, also possesses a meat with a remarkably smooth taste and appearance. This study aimed to characterize hamburger and sausages made from Yacare caiman (Caiman yacare) meat trim.RESULTSHot smoked products ...

The respiratory mechanics of the yacare caiman (Caiman yacareDaudine) [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2018 The structure and function of crocodilian lungs are unique compared to other reptiles. We examine the extent to which this, and the semi-aquatic lifestyle of crocodilians affect their respiratory mechanics. We measured changes in intratracheal pressure in adult and juvenile caiman (Caiman yacare) during static and dynamic lung volume changes ...
