Abstract Morphological study of the tongue is an interesting way of understanding evolutionary processes associated with feeding habits. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to describe the tongue morphology of the Antillean manatee and to understand possible morphological relationships with its way of capturing food.

Plastic pollution on beaches in an Antillean manatee conservation area, Brazil.
Marine Pollution BulletinThe presence of plastic debris along shorelines is a widespread problem, and plastic debris can interact directly with marine wildlife. In northeast Brazil, the Antillean manatees are the most common marine mammals and use estuarine waters mainly as their home range. We aimed to investigate the characteristics of plastic debris on the estuarine-oceanic

Vocal complexity in Antillean manatees (Trichechus manatus manatus)
Behaviour, 2022Abstract Vocal complexity can be expressed through variations in repertoire size, structure, and individual manatee repertoires. Here we aimed to assess the complexity of the vocal behaviour of Antillean manatees living in captivity (i.e., artificial pools) and in reintroduction enclosures (i.e., natural enclosures placed in an estuarine area ...

Baseline urinalysis results in 32 healthy Antillean manatees (Trichechus manatus manatus)
Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 2021Abstract OBJECTIVE To describe results of analysis of free-catch urine samples collected from Antillean manatees (Trichechus manatus manatus) under human care in the Caribbean. ANIMALS 32 Antillean manatees in 5 Caribbean oceanaria and rescue centers. PROCEDURES Urine samples were obtained by opportunistic free catch during physical examination or

Debris ingestion by the Antillean Manatee ( Trichechus manatus manatus )
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2015The Antillean manatee inhabits coastal regions of North and Northeastern Brazil and currently is considered an endangered species in the country. Aiming to gather information for the development of public policies focusing on the conservation of manatees, the National Center for Research and Conservation of Aquatic Mammals of the Chico Mendes Institute

Reproductive success of Antillean manatees released in Brazil: implications for conservation
Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2022AbstractActions to rescue, rehabilitate and release calves of manatees are the main initiatives and strategies for conservation of the species in Brazil. The survival rate of animals in a natural environment and the reproductive success, identified by birth records, are some of the indicators used to estimate the release success for manatees.

Behavioural and physiological responses of captive Antillean manatees to small aerial drones
Wildlife Research, 2021Abstract Context Unmanned aerial vehicles or drones are powerful tools for wildlife research. Identifying the impacts of these systems on target species during operations is essential to reduce risks of disturbance to wildlife, to minimise bias in behavioural data, and to establish better ...
