                         crocodilians could be said to play a vital role in maintaining 
                         ecosystem structure and function. In the Amazon Basin, spectacled 
                         caiman (Caiman crocodilus) and black caiman (Melanosuchus niger) 
                         have unique aspects of natural history that create challenges for 
                         their conservation, such as the negative impact of commercial 
                         exploitation and indiscriminate hunting on them. Over the last few 
                         years, conservation initiatives have been launched to raise 
                         peoples awareness of how to manage them in their natural habitat. 
                         Compared to other life-stages, neonates and reproducing females 
                         are considered the two most vulnerable ones. Since their prolonged 
                         maternal care and long stay surrounding the original nest, all 
                         efforts should be concentrated on protecting nesting habitats. 
                         This review aims to provide an overview of Amazonian caiman 
                         nesting ecology with the purpose of identifying which 
                         environmental variables are likely to influence females on their 
                         choices of nesting sites.",
