Ultrasonographic Ocular Biometry of the Greater Caribbean Manatee (Trichechus manatus manatus). [PDF]
ABSTRACT This study aimed to characterize the ocular biometry of the Trichechus manatus manatus applying B‐mode ultrasonography across different age groups. Twenty‐two animals were assessed employing a portable ultrasound device equipped with a linear transducer. Five ocular parameters were assessed: corneal thickness (CT), anterior chamber depth (ACD),

Host Traits Impact the Outcome of Metagenomic Library Preparation From Dental Calculus Samples Across Diverse Mammals. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Dental calculus metagenomics has emerged as a valuable tool for studying the oral microbiomes of humans and a few select mammals. With increasing interest in wild animal microbiomes, it is important to understand how widely this material can be used across the mammalian tree of life, refine the related protocols and understand the expected ...
