Seasonal Differences in Migration Routes and Stopover Use of Greater Sand Plovers Between Mongolia and the Beibu Gulf Revealed by GPS Tracking. [PDF]
Ecol EvolGPS‐GSM tracking of Greater Sand Plovers along the East Asian‐Australasian Flyway revealed seasonal differences in migration routes and stopover allocation between the northern Beibu Gulf and Mongolia. Spring northward migration was associated with a higher travel‐to‐stopover ratio, whereas autumn southward migration involved a greater proportion of ...

Fecal microbiota of a dugong (Dugong dugong) in captivity at Toba Aquarium
Journal of General and Applied Microbiology, 2008 A captive female dugong at Toba Aquarium (Japan) was examined to describe the microbiota of its lower digestive tracts using the molecular-biological technique, a culture-independent method. The phylogenetic analysis of bacterial 16S rRNA genes was conducted for fecal samples, which were taken at 3 different periods.

Histological study of seventeen organs from dugong (Dugong dugon). [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Background Dugongs are marine mammals with a crescent-shaped tail fluke and a concave trailing margin that belong to the family Dugongidae., They are distributed widely in the warm coastal waters of the Indo-Pacific region. Importantly, the population of dugongs has decreased over the past decades as they have been classified as rare marine mammals ...

Microsatellite Polymorphism and the Population Structure of Dugongs (Dugong dugon) in Thailand. [PDF]
Animals (Basel), 2022 The dugong (Dugong dugon) is an endangered species of marine mammals, so knowledge of genetic diversity of these populations is important for conservation planning within different habitats. In this study, six microsatellite markers were used to assess the genetic diversity and population structure of 77 dugongs from skin samples of stranded animals ...

Pelvic bone morphometric analysis in the dugong (Dugong dugon) [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2020 AbstractThe dugong (Dugong dugon Müller) is recognized as an endangered marine mammal. There is limited available anatomical data on the dugong’s skeletal system, while what is available has not been well established due to the limited number of archived samples and limited access to them.

Elemental classification of the tusks of dugong (Dugong dugong) by HH-XRF analysis and comparison with other species [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 AbstractThe elemental composition was investigated and applied for identifying the sex and habitat of dugongs, in addition to distinguishing dugong tusks and teeth from other animal wildlife materials such as Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) tusks and tiger (Panthera tigris tigris) canine teeth.
