Analysis of a long-term dataset of Antillean manatee strandings in Belize: implications for conservation

Oryx, 2022
We analysed 23 years of data on strandings of the Antillean manatee Trichechus manatus manatus in Belize, documented by the Belize Marine Mammal Stranding Network, to examine the threats to this population.

Manatee calf call contour and acoustic structure varies by species and body size

Scientific Reports, 2022
Vocal activity and signal characteristics of mammals are driven by several factors that result in both stability and plasticity over multiple time scales.

Inconsistent definitions of transplant ineligibility in multiple myeloma: A systematic review. [PDF]

Br J Haematol
This systematic review of 55 trials reveals significant inconsistency in defining transplant ineligibility for multiple myeloma. Arbitrary age cut‐offs predominantly drive exclusion, while validated frailty tools and specific comorbidities are frequently underutilized.

Using transfer learning with a convolutional neural network to detect African manatee (Trichechus senegalensis) vocalizations.

JASA Express Letters, 2022
African manatees (Trichechus senegalensis) are vulnerable, understudied, and difficult to detect. Areas where African manatees are found were acoustically sampled and deep learning techniques were used to develop the first African manatee vocalization ...

Estimating Florida manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris) abundance using passive acoustic methods.

JASA Express Letters, 2022
Manatees are difficult to detect, particularly cryptic populations that inhabit areas with limited water clarity. The effectiveness of using vocal detections to estimate manatee abundance was evaluated in a clear water spring where manatees congregate ...

Karyotypical Confirmation of Natural Hybridization between Two Manatee Species, Trichechus manatus and Trichechus inunguis

Life, 2022
Two species of manatees are found in Northern Brazil—the Antillean manatee (Trichechus manatus), which is found along the coast from Florida to Northeastern Brazil, and the Amazonian manatee (Trichechus inunguis), endemic to the Amazon drainage basin ...

Hunting and hunters of the Amazonian manatee in a Brazilian protected area

Latin American Journal of Aquatic Mammals, 2022
The Amazonian manatee has been hunted since antiquity and is part of local culture and tradition. Although protected by law, manatees continue to be hunted for food and trade. In most regions where the species occurs there are no reliable data on current

Tactile hair in Manatees

Scholarpedia, 2009
Tactile hairs function to detect mechanosensory stimuli rather than for warmth or protection, which is the main function of pelage hair. Vibrissae, which have a specific set of structural features, are the main class of tactile hair.

The influence of variations in background noise on Florida manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris) detection of boat noise and vocalizations

PLoS ONE, 2022
A manatee’s primary modality to detect a vessel on a possible collision course is hearing as underwater visibility is limited in many manatee habitats and their visual acuity is poor.
