| contents | Estructura poblacional y proporción de sexos del caimán (Caiman crocodilus) en el río sierpe, Costa Rica José F. González Maya Armando H. Escobedo Galván Biología Knowledge of demographic aspects of caimans and crocodiles is a very important issue fortheir conservation. A study was carried out in the Sierpe River, in the South Pacific of Costa Rica, from July2004 through March 2005, comprising both rainy and dry seasons. Nocturnal visual surveys wereconducted using shining flashlights; all the individuals were captured, measured and sexed, using a fourranges classification. During the eight surveys, a total of 58 individuals were captured, 65.51% belongingto class II, and 31.03% to class III. Important human explotation has been documented for this population.Differences in male/female ratio and the capture numbers in the study area can be explained by themigration of individuals. 2006 artículo científico 0065-1737 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=57522207 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=575 Acta Zoológica Mexicana (nueva serie) application/pdf Instituto de Ecología, A.C.
