Novel Insight into Dugong Mortality: First Report of Systemic Achromobacter xylosoxidans Infection, Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation, and Associated Pathogenesis [PDF]

Animals
Dugongs (Dugong dugon), classified as vulnerable marine mammals, are increasingly impacted by infectious diseases, yet the role of septicemia and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) in their mortality remains uncharacterized. This study aimed to

Sirenian genomes illuminate the evolution of fully aquatic species within the mammalian superorder afrotheria [PDF]

Nature Communications
Sirenians of the superorder Afrotheria were the first mammals to transition from land to water and are the only herbivorous marine mammals. Here, we generated a chromosome-level dugong (Dugong dugon) genome.

An osteological study of the dugong Dugong dugon (Sirenia) from India [PDF]

Marine Biology, 1974
An osteological study of the dugong (sea cow) Dugong dugon (Muller) from India, based on complete skeletons of an adult male and a juvenile female indicated certain morphological variations with age. It has also revealed a close osteological similarity between the dugongs from India and the Red Sea. Based on a statistical analysis, regression equations

Unveiling the Genetic Structure of New Caledonian Dugongs Using a Multiscale Genetic Approach: Conservation Challenges for an Isolated Population. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The small New Caledonian dugong population is geographically isolated, with extremely low mitochondrial DNA. Using mitochondrial DNA, microsatellites, and SNPs from 66 samples collected over 2 decades, we identified fine‐scale genetic structure and confirmed strong differentiation from Australian populations.
