Dugong dugon feeding in tropical Australian seagrass meadows: implications for conservation planning [PDF]

PeerJ, 2016
Dugongs (Dugong dugon) are listed as vulnerable to extinction due to rapid population reductions caused in part by loss of seagrass feeding meadows. Understanding dugong feeding behaviour in tropical Australia, where the majority of dugongs live, will ...

Genetic diversity in a unique population of dugong (Dugong dugon) along the sea coasts of Thailand [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2021
Dugong (Dugong dugon) populations have been shrinking globally, due in large part to habitat fragmentation, degradation and ocean pollution, and today are listed as Vulnerable by the IUCN.

What the skull and scapular morphology of the dugong (Dugong dugon) can tell us: sex, habitat and body length? [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2017
The dugong (Dugong dugon, Müller) is an endangered marine mammal species. We examined the relationship between sex, habitat and body length based on the skull and scapular morphology and morphometrics of 81 dugong samples in Thailand.
