Observation of yawn-like behavior in a dugong (Dugong dugon)
Journal of Ethology, 2021Yawning is an involuntary action that occurs in three phases: (1) slow mouth opening accompanied by inhalation, (2) maintaining the maximum mouth size, and (3) quick closure with exhalation. Yawning is a phylogenetically widespread behavior in vertebrates. Here, we report yawn-like behavior in a captive dugong.

Characterization of 26 new microsatellite loci in the dugong (Dugong dugon)
AbstractTwenty‐six microsatellite loci have been isolated from a dugong (Dugong dugon). The average heterozygosity was 0.52 with two to 10 alleles per locus surveyed from 50 individuals. The markers are suitable for genetic mark–recapture (PID = 5 × 10−16) in dugongs and they could also be used to quantify physical tag loss, estimate relatedness ...

Small intestinal volvulus in a free‐ranging female dugong (Dugong dugon)
An adult female dugong (Dugong dugon) was found dead and floating in Moreton Bay, Queensland, Australia. This animal was found to have a 360° mesenteric volvulus with infarction of the associated segment of small intestine, and fibrinous peritonitis ...

Gender assignment for some aquatic mammals in the field is difficult. Molecular sexing from tissue biopsies is possible as males are heterogametic. Here we describe a multiplex PCR assay that amplifies the male specific SRY gene and differentiates ZFX ...

Baseline Urinalysis of the Fully Marine, Herbivorous Dugong (Dugong dugon)
Aquatic Mammals, 2023The dugong (Dugong dugon) is a fully marine mammal that grazes in nearshore seagrass meadows and whose health is vulnerable to human coastal activities. This study establishes urine baseline ranges for apparently healthy dugongs that can be used as health biomarkers.

Diving behaviour of dugongs, Dugong dugon
Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 2004The diving behaviour of 15 dugongs (Dugong dugon) was documented using time–depth recorders (TDRs), which logged a total of 39,507 dives. The TDRs were deployed on dugongs caught at three study sites in northern Australia: Shark Bay, the Gulf of Carpentaria and Shoalwater Bay.
