Congenital Ocular Findings in an Antillean Manatee (Trichechus manatus manatus)
This study reports the first documented case of bilateral congenital cataract associated with retinal dysplasia in an Antillean manatee (Trichechus manatus manatus) calf. Ophthalmologic examination and ocular ultrasonography confirmed lens opacity at the posterior pole, which correlated with behavioural deficits consistent with visual impairment.

Hidden Waters, Unique Communities: Subterranean Zooplankton Beta Diversity in the Caatinga Drylands
ABSTRACT Subterranean waters are important but understudied biodiversity reservoirs, particularly in the semi‐arid Caatinga biome. We quantified the biological uniqueness of zooplankton communities in these groundwater‐dependent systems and investigated how environmental conditions shape beta diversity.
