Cutaneous mycobacteriosis in a captive Amazonian manatee Trichechus inunguis [PDF]
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2018 An adult male Amazonian manatee Trichechus inunguis under human care presented with 3 circular cutaneous lesions on the dorsal aspect of the rostrum and between the nostrils (plenum). Initially these lesions were superficial, hypopigmented, without warmth and non-painful. Microbiological cultures of skin swabs isolated Candida sp.

Behavior and habitat use of released rehabilitated Amazonian manatees in Peru [PDF]
Latin American Journal of Aquatic Mammals, 2018 The Amazonian manatee (Trichechus inunguis) is endangered due to illegal hunting. In Peru, the Centro de Rescate Amazónico (CREA) rehabilitates and releases rescued manatees. Tree females and two males were released in El Dorado Lake in July 2011 and radio tracked until November 2011. Movements, habitat use and behavior recorded during the post-release

## Amazonian Manatee-Inspired Metaheuristic Algorithm for Complex Optimization Problems
This paper presents a novel metaheuristic algorithm, termed the Amazonian Manatee-Inspired Metaheuristic Algorithm (AMM-MHA), designed to effectively address complex optimization problems. The algorithm's inspiration stems from the unique foraging and navigation strategies employed by Amazonian manatees.

The species-specific role of wildlife in the Amazonian food system
Ecology and Society, 2023 We examine ways in which the role of wild animals in the Amazonian food system may be socially differentiated and species-specific. We combine a hybrid framework of food choice preferences and theorizing on access to natural resources with fieldwork in ...

Assessing the Giant Panda Protected Areas and Habitat Trends for Sympatric Endangered Species: A Climate Change Perspective. [PDF]
Ecol EvolHere, we used a tuned MaxEnt model to investigate concurrent habitat trends of giant pandas and sympatric endangered species—forest musk deer—under various climate scenarios in the Liangshan Mountains. Additionally, we assessed the effectiveness of protected area boundaries designed for flagship species.

Ocurrence of Cryptosporidium spp. in Amazonian manatees (Trichechus inunguis, Natterer, 1883) [PDF]
Biotemas, 2007 The apicomplexa protozoa Cryptosporidium infects several mammals, including terrestrial and aquatic species. In the epidemiology of this infection, the ingestion of water and/or food contamined with oocysts comprises the main mechanism of transmission to
