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.

New record of Amblyomma dissimile in Caiman yacare in Southernmost Brazil: emerging risks of animal translocation [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia VeterináriaIn Brazil, the species Amblyomma dissimile occurs mainly in the North and Midwestern regions and does not naturally occur in the Southern region. Here, we report the second introduction of this tick in Rio Grande do Sul, resulting from the translocation ...

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.

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.

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.

Serological evidence of paracoccidioidomycosis infection in pantanal caimans (Caiman yacare). [PDF]
Vet Res CommunAbstract Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a systemic mycosis of medical and veterinary importance. Infection by fungi of the genus Paracoccidioides has been reported in several animal species but has not yet been described in reptiles.

Meat Science, 2010 Chemical composition and fatty acid profiles were determined in Caiman yacare meat originating from the neck and tail cuts of animals raised in the wild (n=6) or in captivity (n=6), slaughtered at a live weight of approximately 6 kg. All experimental methods were approved by the appropriate environmental protection agencies.
