First Description of a Satellite DNA in Manatees’ Centromeric Regions

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
Trichechus manatus and Trichechus inunguis are the two Sirenia species that occur in the Americas. Despite their increasing extinction risk, many aspects of their biology remain understudied, including the repetitive DNA fraction of their genomes.

First Non‐Invasive Monitoring of Fecal Steroids in Greater Caribbean Manatees (Trichechus manatus manatus)

Zoo Biology, Volume 45, Issue 4, Page 435-443, July/August 2026.
This study established the first fecal hormonal reference values (P4/E2) for the Greater Caribbean manatee. Using non‐invasive ELISA, the authors found no significant differences between mature and immature females, highlighting that long‐term monitoring and ultrasounds are essential to fully understand their complex reproductive cycles.

Multi‐Omics Unveils the Dual‐Life of the Aquatic Plant Potamogeton nodosus

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Heterophylly, characterized by distinct leaf morphologies, is an adaptive strategy evolved by some aquatic plants to cope with the contrasting environments in which they grow. It is shaped by environmental factors and by hormones, particularly abscisic and gibberellic acids.

American manatees adjust their diet composition and trophic niche breadth across different coastal regions

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 3, May 2026.
Abstract Marine mammals can exhibit high plasticity in foraging strategies, but how such plasticity is driven by environmental conditions is poorly understood. The American manatee (Trichechus manatus), a large, endangered herbivore, inhabits marine, estuarine, and freshwater environments.

First Report of Marinomyxa spp. (Rhizaria: Endomyxa: Phytomyxea) Infection in Seagrasses Halophila beccarii and Halophila decipiens: Supporting Evidence for a Long‐Standing Symbiosis

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
A survey of phytomyxid parasites in seagrasses of the genus Halophila reveals previously unrecognised diversity and a widespread presence of Marinomyxa within Halophila meadows, supporting a tight co‐evolutionary relationship between the two genera. ABSTRACT Marinomyxa is a genus of obligate intracellular parasitic protists known to infect tropical ...
