Significance of stingrays (Chondrichthyes: Myliobatiformes) as prey of crocodilians (Reptilia: Crocodylia) in non-marine environments
(Verlag Dr Friedrich Pfeil, 2020-06)
Stingrays (Myliobatiformes) co-occur with many crocodilians (alligators, caimans and crocodiles) in non-marineenvironments of tropical and subtropical regions. However, predation by crocodilians on stingrays is rare. Here,we ...
Osteology and cranial musculature of Caiman latirostris (Crocodylia: Alligatoridae)
(Wiley-liss, Div John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2011-07)
Caiman latirostris Daudin is one of the extant species of Caimaninae alligatorids characterized taxonomically only by external morphological features. In the present contribution, we describe the cranial osteology and ...
Cloacal mycobiota in wild females of Caiman latirostris (Crocodylia: Alligatoridae)Micobiota cloacal de hembras de Caiman latirostris (Crocodylia: Alligatoridae) en estado silvestre
(Inst Biologia, 2013-06)
There are a few reports about the existence of cloacal mycobiota on wild reptiles and fungal presence and function in Caiman latirostris remains unknown. Our objective was to describe fungal community present in the cloaca ...
New Evidence Characterizing Temperature-dependent Sex Determination in Broad-snouted Caiman, Caiman latirostrisNueva evidencia que caracteriza la determinación del sexo dependiente de la temperatura en el caimán de hocico ancho, Caiman latirostris
(Herpetological Conservation and Biology, 2017-05)
Temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD) occurs in all three families of the Crocodylia. This study explored the sex ratio of hatchlings under incubation temperatures not previously tested in Caiman latirostris to ...
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 ...
Embryological development of Caiman latirostris (Crocodylia: Alligatoridae)
(Wiley-liss, Div John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2008-08)
A standard development embryological series is the primary basis to organize information of any embryological study and is also used to determine the age of eggs and embryos in field conditions. In this article, we calibrate ...
Storage of Caiman latirostris (Crocodylia: Alligatoridae) eggs in harvest containers: Effects on hatchability
(Elsevier Science, 2007-10)
In crocodilian ranching operations wild eggs are collected from the field, and delays between collection and transportation to incubators are usually minimized in the hope of maximizing embryo survival. In the ranching ...
Status and Conservation of Crocodylus acutus at a Naval Base in Aragua State, Venezuela
(Society for the Study of Amphibians and Reptiles, 2020-05)
We present the conservation status and ecological characteristics (distribution, habitat preference, reproduction, population size, and structure) of an American Crocodile (Crocodylus acutus) population associated with the ...
