Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems"
DOI: 10.1002/aqc.70104
Abstract: Tools to discriminate products from captive and wild sources will improve wildlife sustainability, and stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen can be potentially useful for this. In this study, we evaluated δ15N and δ13C in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/10498850.2017.1407854
Abstract: ABSTRACT Proximate compositions of dorsal, ventral, leg, and tail cuts of farmed spectacled caiman (Caiman crocodilus) were determined. The water, protein, fat, and ash contents of muscle were 77–78%, 19–23%, 0.3–1.2%, and 1.0%, respectively. The… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jpn.13958
Abstract: A specific diet for broad-snouted caiman, Caiman latirostris has not been designed despite the value of farm-raised caiman as an aquaculture product. To fill this gap, the objectives of this study were to evaluate the… read more here.

Contractile function of fasting and digesting broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Canadian Journal of Zoology"
DOI: 10.1139/cjz-2022-0180
Abstract: Feeding regimes are a critical process to ensure survival and reproduction, which modulate several behavioral and physiological patterns of ectotherms, especially cardiovascular adjustments. However, crocodilian myocardial contractile function after food intake remains understudied. We investigated… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0183476
Abstract: On the Amazon floodplain, the main predators of black caiman (Melanosuchus niger) eggs are jaguars (Panthera onca), tegu lizards (Tupinambis teguixim), capuchin monkeys (Sapajus macrocephalus) and humans (Homo sapiens). In this study, we investigated the… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/pathogens11111255
Abstract: Contrary to humans, candidiasis is a rare infection in animals. However, in reptiles, candidiasis can cause gastrointestinal, cutaneous, or rarely systemic infections in stressed animals. The infections due to Yarrowia lipolytica have been increasingly described… read more here.

DOI: 10.7554/elife.49972
Abstract: The number of precaudal vertebrae in all extant crocodylians is remarkably conservative, with nine cervicals, 15 dorsals and two sacrals, a pattern present also in their closest extinct relatives. The consistent vertebral count indicates a… read more here.
