The earliest known fully quadrupedal sirenian

Nature, 2001
Modern seacows (manatees and dugongs; Mammalia, Sirenia) are completely aquatic, with flipperlike forelimbs and no hindlimbs. Here I describe Eocene fossils from Jamaica that represent nearly the entire skeleton of a new genus and species of sirenian--the most primitive for which extensive postcranial remains are known. This animal was fully capable of

Evaluation of Cetacean and Sirenian Cytologic Samples

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Exotic Animal Practice, 2007
Cytology is a fundamental part of marine mammal veterinary medicine that is involved in preventive medicine programs in captive animals and in the health assessment of wild populations. Marine mammals often exhibit few clinical signs of disease; thus, the cost-effective and widely accessible nature of cytologic sampling renders it one of the most ...

Hearing in Pinnipeds and Sirenians

2001
Pinnipeds and sirenians have not been subjects of as extensive investigation of hearing abilities and mechanisms as cetaceans have been. The studies performed on these animals did not reveal extreme hearing capabilities or echolocation. Nevertheless, their hearing system presents a great opportunity for understanding the various ways they have adapted ...

Sirenian (manatees and dugongs) reproductive endocrinology

General and Comparative Endocrinology
Reproductive hormones are essential to mating systems, behavior, fertility, gestation, parturition, and lactation in mammals and understanding the role of hormones in these processes is essential for species conservation. Sirenia is a unique order of marine mammals that include manatees, dugongs, and the extinct Steller's sea cow.

Estimating body size of fossil sirenians

Marine Mammal Science, 2010
Estimates of fossil sirenian body size are important for understanding niche partitioning among possibly sympatric species. Because of the paucity of complete fossil skeletons, we explored the utility of three morphometric predictors of body size: (condylobasal skull length [BSL]; occipital condyle width [OCW]; and foramen magnum width [FMW]) in extant
