In this sense, this study aimed to describe capybara salivary glands morphology to understand potential morphological associations to this species feeding habits. Macroscopic dissections and microscopic analyses were performed on eight specimens. The findings indicate that capybaras have three pairs of major (parotid, mandibular and sublingual) and two pairs of minors (dorsal and ventral buccal) salivary glands. The parotid gland, the largest, is irregularly shaped, forming small macroscopic lobes. The mandibular gland is rounded and found syntopically alongside the mandible angle and arranged medially to the ventral projection of the parotid gland. The sublingual gland is a compact elongated and semicircular mass. The dorsal and ventral buccal glands are located in the buccal portion of the buccinator muscle. Histologically, the parotid and mandibular glands are composed of serous acini, while the sublingual and buccal (dorsal and ventral) glands consist of mucous tubules containing serous demi\u2010lunes at their periphery. Capybara salivary glands reveal morphological associations with a predominantly herbivorous diet. The parotid gland, for example, notably developed in size and volume, suggests a specialisation for increased saliva production, necessary for chewing, forming the food bolus, swallowing fibrous foods, and protecting the oral cavity ecosystem.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/ahe.70002","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,27]],"date-time":"2024-10-27T11:05:58Z","timestamp":1730027158000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Capybara (<i>Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris<\/i>) Salivary Glands Morphology"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"53","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7201-6349","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Flavia\u00a0Mar\u00eda\u00a0P\u00eda\u00a0Montenegro","family":"Donoso","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery School of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science, University of S\u00e3o Paulo  S\u00e3o Paulo S\u00e3o Paulo Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7410-5057","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maril\u00fa","family":"Cristofoli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery School of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science, University of S\u00e3o Paulo  S\u00e3o Paulo S\u00e3o Paulo Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Daniel\u00a0Vitor\u00a0Matos","family":"Lob\u00e3o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery School of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science, University of S\u00e3o Paulo  S\u00e3o Paulo S\u00e3o Paulo Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fernanda\u00a0Batistella\u00a0Passos","family":"Nunes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Reproduction School of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science, University of S\u00e3o Paulo  S\u00e3o Paulo S\u00e3o Paulo Brazil"},{"name":"Reprocon Institute Rua Jo\u00e3o Vieira de Meneses  Campo Grande Mato Grosso do Sul Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fabiana\u00a0Morse\u00a0Gosson","family":"Jorge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery School of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science, University of S\u00e3o Paulo  S\u00e3o Paulo S\u00e3o Paulo Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mayla\u00a0Magalh\u00e3es","family":"de Oliveira\u00a0Alcoba\u00e7a","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery School of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science, University of S\u00e3o Paulo  S\u00e3o Paulo S\u00e3o Paulo Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0370-4447","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Radan\u00a0Elvis\u00a0Matias","family":"de Oliveira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Applied Animal Morphophysiology Laboratory\u2014LABMORFA, Department of Animal Sciences Federal University of the Semi\u2010Arid Region  Mossor\u00f3 Rio Grande do Norte Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6260-661X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ant\u00f4nio\u00a0Chaves","family":"de Assis\u00a0Neto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery School of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science, University of S\u00e3o Paulo  S\u00e3o Paulo S\u00e3o Paulo Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1267\/ahc.12013"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jemt.23216"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-1-4614-4000-0_4"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1590\/1678\u20105150\u2010PVB\u20105527"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ahe.12349"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev\u2010food\u2010030212\u2010182700"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_8_1","first-page":"91","volume-title":"Tratado de Anatomia Veterin\u00e1ria","author":"Dyce K.
