Historical Collections of Tropical Marine Mammals Are an Excellent Resource for Ancient DNA
Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 7, October 2025.ABSTRACT The ability to predict ancient DNA sequencing success in natural history collections is critical to reducing the amount of destructive sampling of a finite resource. So far, studies investigating such success have predominantly focused on taxa with ranges restricted to temperate or cold environments at northern latitudes, which likely aids DNA

Prioritizing future evidence needs for marine and freshwater mammal conservation action
Animal Conservation, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 542-552, August 2025.To improve conservation practice, decisions should be informed by the available evidence on the effectiveness of conservation actions. Here, we review the comprehensiveness of this evidence base for marine and freshwater mammals. We assess the taxonomic and geographic coverage of the evidence base, identify biases and suggest priorities for future ...

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.

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

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências: The West Indian (Trichechus manatus) and Amazonian (T. inunguis) manatees have a sympatric occurrence at the mouth of the Amazon River. A result of this interspecific encounter is the occurrence of hybrids, which are frequently found along the coasts ...

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.
