Iterative evolution of sympatric seacow (Dugongidae, Sirenia) assemblages during the past ~26 million years. [PDF]
Extant sirenians show allopatric distributions throughout most of their range. However, their fossil record shows evidence of multispecies communities throughout most of the past ∼26 million years, in different oceanic basins.
