(Journal of Natural History, p. 1-6, 2014., 2014)
Pectoral girdle and forelimb variation in extant Crocodylia: the coracoid–humerus pair as an evolutionary module
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2013)
To date, all statements about evolutionary morphological transformation in Crocodylia have essentially been based on qualitative observations. In the present study, we assessed the morphological variation and covariation ...

(Taylor & Francis, 2013-05)
A new small species of Eocaiman is described on the basis of three anterior left mandibular rami and one isolated tooth. The specimens came from the middle-upper Paleocene Itabora ́ı Basin (Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil; ...

Hepatozoon caimani in caiman crocodilus yacare (crocodylia, alligatoridae) from north pantanal, BrazilHepatozoon caimani em caiman crocodilus yacare (crocodylia, alligatoridae) do norte do pantanal, Brasil
(2017-07-01)
Hepatozoon species are the most common intracellular hemoparasite found in reptiles. Hepatozoon caimani, whose vectors are Culex mosquitoes, has been detected in a high prevalence among caimans in Brazil by blood smears ...
Hypoxia and temperature: does hypoxia affect caiman embryo differentiation rate or rate of growth only?
(Elsevier, 2013-05)
In crocodilians, the rate of embryonic development and consequently many posthatch attributes are affected by temperature. Since temperature exhibits strong influences on fitness (embryo survivorship and phenotype) by ...
