Análisis morfológico del esqueleto de las especies argentinas del género <i>Caiman</i> (Alligatoridae: Caimaninae)

Abstract: Existen 24 especies actuales de cocodrilos agrupadas en tres superfamilias: Alligatoroidea (aligatóridos y caimanes), Gavialoidea y Crocodyloidea. Los Caimaninae son un grupo monofilético dentro de Alligatoroidea que incluye a Caiman crocodilus y a todos los cocodrilos más relacionados a éste que a Alligator mississippiensis, y en la actualidad están representados por seis especies: Caiman crocodilus, C. yacare, C. latirostris, Melanosuchus niger, Paleosuchus palpebrosus y P. trigonatus, mayormente distribuida… Show more

“…Although our sampling only covered a fraction of the incubation process (stages 15 to 21 in C. latirostris and 17-18 to 23 in C. yacare), it was enough to detect a significant thinning in the compact layer of the eggshells of C. latirostris. Such thickness reduction overlaps with the onset of skeletal ossification in both species, which occurs between stages 17-18 and 23 50,51 . Consequently, mobilization of calcium from the eggshell would be expected.…”
