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

Karyotypes of Manatees: New Insights into Hybrid Formation (Trichechus inunguis × Trichechus m. manatus) in the Amazon Estuary. [PDF]
Great efforts have been made to preserve manatees. Recently, a hybrid zone was described between Trichechus inunguis (TIN) and the Trichechus manatus manatus (TMM) in the Amazon estuary. Cytogenetic data on these sirenians are limited, despite being fundamental to understanding the hybridization/introgression dynamics and genomic organization in ...

Placentation in the Amazonian manatee (Trichechus inunguis) [PDF]
Evidence from several sources supports a close phylogenetic relationship between elephants and sirenians. To explore whether this was reflected in similar placentation, we examined eight delivered placentae from the Amazonian manatee using light microscopy and immunohistochemistry.
