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

open access: yesMolecular 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

Mercury enrichment in anthrosols and adjacent coastal sediments at a Classic Maya site, Marco Gonzalez, Belize

open access: yesGeoarchaeology, Volume 36, Issue 6, Page 875-896, November/December 2021., 2021
Abstract Elevated concentrations of total mercury (THg) are found in the surface soils and flanking wetland sediments at the Classic Maya coastal site of Marco Gonzalez, Belize. Significant concentrations (up to 1.3 µg·g−1 dry mass) of THg occur in leaf litter‐rich soils, as well as in the artefact‐rich anthrosol spread over the vegetated mound site of

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

open access: yesDiseases 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.

Seasonality of habitat use, mortality and reproduction of the vulnerable antillean manatee trichechus manatus manatus in the orinoco river, Colombia: Implications for conservation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The Vulnerable Antillean manatee Trichechus manatus manatus (Mammalia, Sirenia) is threatened by hunting, entanglement in fishing nets and habitat degradation but most knowledge of the species comes from coastal and estuarine populations.

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

open access: yesCiencias 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 ...
