First Description of a Satellite DNA in Manatees’ Centromeric Regions

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
Trichechus manatus and Trichechus inunguis are the two Sirenia species that occur in the Americas. Despite their increasing extinction risk, many aspects of their biology remain understudied, including the repetitive DNA fraction of their genomes.

Vocalizations of wild West Indian manatee vary across subspecies and geographic location

Scientific Reports, 2023
Geographic variation in the vocal behavior of manatees has been reported but is largely unexplored. Vocalizations of wild West Indian manatees (Trichechus manatus) were recorded with hydrophones in Florida from Florida manatees (Trichechus manatus ...

Neonatal Abandonment and Hydrocephalus in Antillean Manatees (Trichechus manatus manatus): Is There a Causal Relationship? [PDF]

Animals (Basel)
Manatees are semi-social animals, with the mother–calf relationship being considered long-lasting for the species. However, some events lead to the separation of this pair. Orphaned manatee calves can be adopted by other females of the same species. However, if this does not happen and a healthy calf strand is rescued, immediate release represents the ...

Color Vision in the Manatee (Trichechus manatus)

Vision Research, 1996
Four manatees were trained to discriminate between a colored stimulus and a shade of gray in a two-fold simultaneous choice situation. The colors blue, green, red and blue-green were tested against shades of gray varying from low to high relative brightness. The animals distinguished both blue and green from a series of grays but failed to discriminate
