Although there is much information available about reproduction in Caiman latirostris, knowledge related to steroid hormone levels and follicle development for wild adult females is still lacking. In this study we monitored and assessed the development of follicles and eggs and correlated these results with plasma steroid hormone levels in 32 adult females captured in Santa Fe, Argentina. Fieldwork was carried out over two reproductive seasons (October?January) between 2010 and 2012. Using an ultrasound device to take images of the reproductive structures of adult females, we observed individuals with vitellogenic follicles (n = 5), eggs (n = 4), atretic follicles (n = 11), and inactive reproductive structures (n = 12). We found no reproduc...
