Morphometric and structural analysis of Florida manatee spermatozoa

The Anatomical Record, Volume 305, Issue 2, Page 446-461, February 2022., 2022
Abstract Sperm characteristics, such as sperm morphology and sperm morphometry are important in assessing sperm quality. This is especially important for the management and conservation of endangered and exotic species, like the Florida manatee, where information of this nature is extremely limited.

Comparative examination of pinniped craniofacial musculature and its role in aquatic feeding

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 240, Issue 2, Page 226-252, February 2022., 2022
Pinnipeds (seals, sea lions, and walruses) have strong, powerful craniofacial muscles that reflect their aquatic habitat and underwater feeding strategies. Their well‐developed facial expression, mastication, tongue, and hyoid muscles allow pinnipeds to successfully capture prey in dynamic marine ecosystems across the globe.
