Ancestral chromosomal signatures of Paenungulata (Afroteria) reveal the karyotype of Amazonian manatee (Trichechus inunguis, Sirenia: Trichechidae) as the oldest among American manatees [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2023 Background Chromosomal painting in manatees has clarified questions about the rapid evolution of sirenians within the Paenungulata clade. Further cytogenetic studies in Afrotherian species may provide information about their evolutionary dynamics ...

Vocalizations of wild West Indian manatee vary across subspecies and geographic location [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Geographic variation in the vocal behavior of manatees has been reported but is largely unexplored. Vocalizations of wild West Indian manatees (Trichechus manatus) were recorded with hydrophones in Florida from Florida manatees (Trichechus manatus ...

Using transfer learning with a convolutional neural network to detect African manatee (Trichechus senegalensis) vocalizations [PDF]
JASA Express Letters, 2022 African manatees (Trichechus senegalensis) are vulnerable, understudied, and difficult to detect. Areas where African manatees are found were acoustically sampled and deep learning techniques were used to develop the first African manatee vocalization ...

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.
