Herein we describe intraspecific variation in the growth of embryos in three Black Caiman(Melanosuchus niger) nests monitored in situ in the Central Brazilian Amazon. Nests differed in which embryonic stagesthe first increases in total length and mass occurred. Differences from a previous study of the same species included thetiming of morphological characteristics such as the closure of the abdominal wall. Therefore, our data are indicative of theplasticity of embryonic development of Black Caimans in natural conditions.","PeriodicalId":507135,"journal":{"name":"Reptiles & Amphibians","volume":"78 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141922116","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Diamondback Terrapins (Malaclemysterrapin) can inhabit these salt marshes due to their ability to tolerate highly saline water. The physiological mechanismsunderlying this ability are well known in adults, but have not been thoroughly explored in hatchlings and juveniles,which cannot grow when exposed to high salinity. We examined salinity preferences of hatchlings and juveniles in thelaboratory and concluded that hatchlings do not exhibit salinity preferences and develop this trait as juveniles.","PeriodicalId":507135,"journal":{"name":"Reptiles & Amphibians","volume":"65 42","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140663963","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
