Learning capacities and welfare in an Antillean manatee, Trichechus manatus manatus [PDF]
Comptes Rendus Biologies, 2020 Studies on the cognitive abilities of manatees are limited despite their importance for the environmental enrichment and welfare of individuals in captivity and the understanding of manatee behaviour in the wild.

Detecting Convergence of Amino Acid Physicochemical Properties Underlying the Organismal Adaptive Convergent Evolution. [PDF]
Mol Ecol ResourABSTRACT Many studies have proposed various comparative genomic methods to probe the molecular basis for adaptive functional convergence between species, conventionally by detecting the convergence of amino acid states between orthologous protein sequences of these species or lineages.
