Cultivated Manatee Meat Aiding Amazon Biodiversity Conservation: Discussing a Proposed Model
Conservation, 2023 Cultivated meat (CM) is a disruptive technology that provides an alternative to animal protein. In this context, the Amazon manatee (Trichechus inunguis) emerges as an important case.

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 11, Issue 2, Page 172-186, April 2025.We developed a method combining passive acoustic monitoring and convolutional neural networks to automatically detect the presence of Amazonian manatees in a floodplain lake over two flooded seasons. The CNN model showed a high performance (98% average precision) and was applied to process 226 days of acoustic recordings.

Eimeria trichechi n.sp. from the Amazonian manatee, Trichechus inunguis (Mammalia: Sirenia)
, 1983 Eimeria trichechi n.sp. is described and figured from the manatee, Trichechus inunguis, from Amazonas State, north Brazil. Undifferentiated oocysts are passed in the faeces and complete their sporulation in ∼36h at 24 to 26°C. Oocysts are spherical, with

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 41, Issue 2, April 2025.Abstract Deterioration of seagrass beds worldwide has raised concern about the future of dugongs because almost all aspects of their life history depend on availability of seagrass. Understanding their energy metabolism and consequently how much seagrass they need will inform protective conservation strategies for dugongs. This study determined resting

Bottlenecks in the migration routes of Amazonian manatees and the threat of hydroelectric dams [PDF]
Acta Amazonica, 2017 In a particular region within western Amazonia, Amazonian manatees (Trichechus inunguis) live in a floodplain environment that becomes inhospitable for them during the annual low-water season.

Invisíveis porém detectáveis: a utilização do monitoramento acústico passivo em peixes-boi da Amazônia (Trichechus inunguis). [PDF]
, 2016 Direct observation of Amazonian manatees (Trichechus inunguis) in nature is very difficult due to their cryptic behaviour and low water visibility.

Riverine people's knowledge of the Vulnerable Amazonian manatee Trichechus inunguis in contrasting protected areas [PDF]
, 2019 Traditional knowledge gained through daily interactions with the environment can yield insights into processes at temporal or spatial scales that may be overlooked by conventional scientific research. Ninety interviews were conducted with riverine people
