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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
