Plasma Activity of the Broad-snouted Caiman (Caiman latirostris)
(Academia Sinica, 2009-12)
Crocodilians exhibit well-defined social behaviors, which frequently result in serious wounds as a consequence of social disputes including the loss of entire limbs. Despite the severity of many wounds, there is typically ...
Broad-Snouted Caiman (Caiman latirostris) bite

Comparison of plasma dipeptidyl peptidase IV activity in two caiman species: Caiman latirostris and Caiman yacare (Crocodylia, Alligatoridae)
(Brill Academic Publishers, 2011-03)
Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) is a well-characterized protease with broad substrate specificity, functionally-related to the activity of many bioactive peptides. It plays an important role as physiological regulator of ...
Population structure of the broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) in natural and man-made water bodies associated with a silvicultural landscape
(Deutsche Gesellschaft Herpetologie Terrarienkunde E V, 2016-04-30)
The broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) is a South American crocodilian with a wide geographical distribution. Water bodies originally occupied by the species have suffered extreme anthropogenic pressure; however, ...
Immunotoxicity of commercial-mixed glyphosate in broad snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris)
(Elsevier Ireland, 2016-01)
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 ...
Diurnal use of space by captive adult broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris): Implications for pen design
(Elsevier Science, 2006-02)
Crocodilians generally present low reproductive success in captivity. The reasons for this are still unclear, but the faulty design of reproductive facilities can be a cause of stress, injuries and social disruption. This ...
Thermoregulation of captive Caiman latirostris (Alligatoridae)
(2014-11-12)
We investigate if thermoregulatory patterns of captive broad snouted caiman, Caiman latirostris, changes in response to different thermal situations. We implanted subcutaneous dataloggers on eight adult females and distributed ...
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 ...
