Clutch size of Caiman latirostris (Crocodylia: Alligatoridae) varies on a latitudinal gradient
(University of Oradea Publishing House, 2009-01)
The distribution of the Broad-Snouted Caiman (Caiman latirostris) ranges from 5°S to 32°S. Thus, caiman populations are exposed to different climatic conditions, and this latitudinal gradient could affect aspects of their ...
Anatomo-Histological Evaluation of Male Reproductive System of the Juvenile Caiman crocodilus yacare
(Soc Chilena Anatomia, 2021-12-01)
The Caiman crocodilus yacare was once close to extinction. Studies about the male reproductive tract may aid in their reproduction and conservation. In this work, after sedation and euthanasia, seven young male C. yacare ...
Conflicts between humans and crocodilians in urban areas across Brazil: a new approach to support management and conservation
(Univ Estadual Paraiba, Editora-eduep, 2021-01-01)
Crocodilian-human conflicts, caused especially by urban expansion and habitat destruction, have been considered one of the main threats to the conservation of these species worldwide. In Brazil, such conflicts have been ...
The phylogeography of trypanosomes from South American alligatorids and African crocodilids is consistent with the geological history of South American river basins and the transoceanic dispersal of Crocodylus at the Miocene
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2013)
Background: Little is known about the diversity, phylogenetic relationships, and biogeography of trypanosomes infecting non-mammalian hosts. In this study, we investigated the influence of host species and biogeography on ...
The phylogeography of trypanosomes from South American alligatorids and African crocodilids is consistent with the geological history of South American river basins and the transoceanic dispersal of Crocodylus at the Miocene
(London, 2013)
Abstract
Background
Little is known about the diversity, phylogenetic relationships, and biogeography of trypanosomes infecting non-mammalian hosts. In this study, we investigated the influence ...
Intraspecific isotopic niche variation in broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris)
(Taylor & Francis, 2013-10)
Strategies to minimise intraspecific competition are common in wild animals. For example, individuals may exploit food resources at different levels of the food chain. Analyses of stable isotopes are particularly useful ...
Thermoregulation in captive broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris)
(Springer, 2014-03)
Background: 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 ...
Effects of agricultural pesticides on the reproductive system of aquatic wildlife species, with crocodilians as sentinel species
(Elsevier Ireland, 2020-12)
Agricultural pesticides represent a significant class of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) to which non-target organisms around the world are constantly exposed. Laboratory studies have found strong evidence showing ...
