Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, 2016 We employed landmark-based 3D geometric morphometrics to assess cranial size and shape diversification in Trichechus manatus and T. inunguis to compare it with patterns among all manatee taxa (T. manatus latirostris, T. m. manatus, T. inunguis and T. senegalensis), and to analyse geographic variation within American manatee populations, using a sample ...

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

Drone photogrammetry reveals contrasting body conditions of dugongs across the Indo‐Pacific
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 11, Issue 6, Page 701-718, December 2025.The monitoring of body condition has gained traction as a way to provide early warning signals of population decline, prompting conservation actions. However, the environmental and anthropogenic drivers of body condition variations are rarely investigated.

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 11, Issue 2, Page 172-186, April 2025.We developed a method combining passive acoustic monitoring and convolutional neural networks to automatically detect the presence of Amazonian manatees in a floodplain lake over two flooded seasons. The CNN model showed a high performance (98% average precision) and was applied to process 226 days of acoustic recordings.

Capture and utilization of the Antillean manatee (Trichechus manatus manatus) on the northern Brazilian coast [PDF]
Biotemas, 2008 The Antillean manatee (Trichechus manatus manatus) is now considered to be the most endangered aquatic mammal of Brazil. During 1992 and 1993, we surveyed 3000km of the coastal area of the Maranhão (MA), Pará (PA) and Amapá (AP) states where we visited ...

Mammal Review, Volume 55, Issue 2, April 2025.This review identifies key causes of morbidity and mortality in Southern Hemisphere small Odontoceti, highlighting significant anthropogenic threats and the enhanced need for conservation strategies. Key findings include high rates of entanglements and a diverse range of infectious pathogens. Abstract Marine mammals serve as sentinels for environmental

Endangered Species Research, 2018 Environmental DNA (eDNA) detection is a technique used to non-invasively detect cryptic, low density, or logistically difficult-to-study species, such as imperiled manatees. For eDNA measurement, genetic material shed into the environment is concentrated

Fisheries, Volume 49, Issue 10, Page 454-462, October 2024.Side‐scan sonar (SSS) is a powerful tool that can be used to address many key questions in fisheries science. In principle, SSS uses dual transducers to transmit a narrow‐beam, wide‐angle acoustic signal as the survey vessel transits an area. The intensity of reflected sound is recorded to generate an image mosaic comprised of benthic substrates and ...

Flagship individuals in biodiversity conservation
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, Volume 22, Issue 1, February 2024.Flagship species are an important tool for mobilizing support for conservation. Here, we extend this concept to include individual organisms, whose characteristics, fates, and connections to people can garner public attention, attract conservation support, and spur activism.
