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.

First field-based estimate of Antillean manatee abundance in the San Pedro River system suggests large errors in current estimates for Mexico

Ciencias Marinas, 2017
Fluvial-lagoon systems like the San Pedro River, a tributary of the Usumacinta River, are important habitats for Antillean manatees. These systems are characterized by complex watercourses that contain water with high turbidity levels, which have ...

Distribution of the Antillean manatee (Trichecus manatus manatus) in the Alvarado Lagoon System (Veracruz, Mexico)

Ciencias Marinas, 2012
The Antillean manatee (Trichechus manatus manatus) is considered endangered in Mexico. Local extinctions have been documented in the northern Gulf of Mexico, and the only remaining population with a northern distribution is found in the Alvarado Lagoon ...

Applications of eDNA Metabarcoding for Vertebrate Diversity Studies in Northern Colombian Water Bodies

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Environmental DNA metabarcoding is a tool with increasing use worldwide. The uses of such technology have been validated several times for diversity census, invasive species detection, and endangered/cryptic/elusive species detection and monitoring. With

Using small drones to photo-identify Antillean manatees: a novel method for monitoring an endangered marine mammal in the Caribbean Sea

Endangered Species Research, 2020
Population assessments and species monitoring for many endangered marine megafauna are limited by the challenges of identifying and tracking individuals that live underwater in remote and sometimes inaccessible areas.

Twelve years of “Astro” in Sergipe State: in search of harmony between the manatee and the local waterside communities =Doze anos de “Astro” no Estado de Sergipe: buscando harmonia entre o peixe-boi e as comunidades ribeirinhas [PDF]

Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2012
The Antillean manatee (Trichechus manatus) is the most threatened aquatic mammal in Brazil. It was considered to be extinct in Sergipe until 1998, when a re-introduced animal (Astro) arrived.

Effects of Roscovitine and Serum Starvation on the Viability and G0/G1 Synchronization in Somatic Cells from the Antillean Manatee (Trichechus manatus manatus, Linnaeus 1758)

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The success of nuclear reprogramming techniques, including the G0/G1 synchronization of somatic cells, depends on species‐specific optimization. While roscovitine and serum starvation have been successfully applied in domestic and wild terrestrial mammals, their use in aquatic mammals remains poorly investigated.

Rapidly declining seagrass meadows in Brazil: Findings from satellite imagery and local knowledge

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1155-1171, May 2026.
Abstract Due to the limitations of individual monitoring approaches, integrating social perceptions with multiple advanced technologies provides a new opportunity to gain a comprehensive understanding of ecosystem degradation. We combined historical aerial mapping, satellite imagery, semi‐structured interviews with local stakeholders, and a bilingual ...

Multi‐Scale Habitat Selection of Greater Caribbean Manatees in Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve, Mexico

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Habitat selection describes population distribution as a function of environmental features. It is a fundamental process with primordial ecological and evolutionary implications. To accurately describe habitat selection, it is important to identify temporal and spatial scales perceived by the population and use these scales when modeling ...
