Evaluation of Cetacean and Sirenian Cytologic Samples
Veterinary Clinics of North America: Exotic Animal Practice, 2007Cytology 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 ...

The earliest known fully quadrupedal sirenian
Nature, 2001Modern 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

Sirenian (manatees and dugongs) reproductive endocrinology
General and Comparative EndocrinologyReproductive 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.

Sirenians between myth and science
Nymphaea. Folia Naturae BiharieSirenians (also known as sea-cows), as we know them today, represent an order of fully aquatic herbivorous mammals, with a rich fossil record that spans from the Paleogene to the Holocene. In fact, sirenians are the only marine full herbivorous mammals, the others having different diets.

Estimating body size of fossil sirenians
Marine Mammal Science, 2010Estimates 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

Utility and Design of Aerial Surveys for Sirenians
2012[Extract] Aerial surveys have been used as a tool to assess aspects of sirenian biology for three decades. Although aerial surveys can be a useful method of assessing sirenian population distribution and abundance, they can be logistically difficult and expensive and may not always be the appropriate method.
