Elephants and Sirenians: A Comparative Review across Related Taxa in Regard to Learned Vocal Behavior

Comparative Cognition & Behavior Reviews, 2022
Vocal production learning is the ability to modify a vocal output in response to auditory experience. It is essential for human speech production and language acquisition. Vocal learning evolved independently several times in vertebrates, indicating evolutionary pressure in favor of this trait. This enables cross-species comparative analysis to be used

Vulnerability of marine megafauna to global at-sea anthropogenic threats. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Marine megafauna species are affected by a wide range of anthropogenic threats. To evaluate the risk of such threats, species’ vulnerability to each threat must first be determined. We build on the existing threats classification scheme and ranking system of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened ...

Ultrasonographic Ocular Biometry of the Greater Caribbean Manatee (Trichechus manatus manatus). [PDF]

Vet Ophthalmol
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),

Congenital Ocular Findings in an Antillean Manatee (Trichechus manatus manatus). [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
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.
