Unveiling the Genetic Structure of New Caledonian Dugongs Using a Multiscale Genetic Approach: Conservation Challenges for an Isolated Population. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The small New Caledonian dugong population is geographically isolated, with extremely low mitochondrial DNA. Using mitochondrial DNA, microsatellites, and SNPs from 66 samples collected over 2 decades, we identified fine‐scale genetic structure and confirmed strong differentiation from Australian populations.

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short-term tactics and long-term impacts. [PDF]

Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

The potential of aquatic bloodfeeding and nonbloodfeeding leeches as a tool for iDNA characterisation

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 22, Issue 2, Page 539-553, February 2022., 2022
Abstract Leeches play important roles in food webs due to their abundance, diversity and feeding habits. Studies using invertebrate‐derived DNA (iDNA) extracted from leech gut contents to target vertebrate DNA have focused on the Indo‐Pacific region and mainly leveraged the leech family Haemadipsidae, composed of bloodfeeding terrestrial leeches, while

Disseminated toxoplasmosis in Antillean manatees Trichechus manatus manatus from Puerto Rico [PDF]

Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2012
Necropsies were conducted on 4 Antillean manatees Trichechus manatus manatus that were stranded in single events on the coastal beaches of Puerto Rico from August 2010 to August 2011. Three manatees were emaciated and the gastrointestinal tracts were devoid of digesta.

Distribution and conservation status of the Antillean manatee (Trichechus manatus manatus) in Honduras [PDF]

Latin American Journal of Aquatic Mammals, 2014
The Antillean manatee, Trichechus manatus manatus, is among the most threatened mammals in Honduras, yet the last published study is from 1980. Since then, the North Coast of Honduras has experienced rapid population growth and land cover change possibly causing habitat loss for manatees.
