Behavioral Lateralization in the Florida Manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris) [PDF]

International Journal of Comparative Psychology, 2016
We examined side preferences in the Florida manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris) through observations of limb use (right and left flipper) in 123 wild and 16 captive individuals. We also analyzed archival data on wild manatees to develop an index of boat-caused body scars to determine lateralization of evasive action.

Pyothorax in Antillean Manatee (Trichechus manatus) in Brazil [PDF]

Acta Scientiae Veterinariae, 2020
Background: Manatees are the most endangered aquatic mammals in Brazil. The current conservation scenario, together with their biological characteristics, raises concern with the future of this species. Pyothorax, also known as septic pleural effusion or pleural empyema, is characterized by the accumulation of a septic purulent exudate within the ...

First Report of Marinomyxa spp. (Rhizaria: Endomyxa: Phytomyxea) Infection in Seagrasses Halophila beccarii and Halophila decipiens: Supporting Evidence for a Long‐Standing Symbiosis

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
A survey of phytomyxid parasites in seagrasses of the genus Halophila reveals previously unrecognised diversity and a widespread presence of Marinomyxa within Halophila meadows, supporting a tight co‐evolutionary relationship between the two genera. ABSTRACT Marinomyxa is a genus of obligate intracellular parasitic protists known to infect tropical ...

Disparity of turbinal bones in placental mammals

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 4, Page 749-777, April 2026.
Abstract Turbinals are key bony elements of the mammalian nasal cavity, involved in heat and moisture conservation as well as olfaction. While turbinals are well known in some groups, their diversity is poorly understood at the scale of placental mammals, which span 21 orders.

Cognition as a Conservation Tool: A Case Study of Florida Manatees and Boat Strikes

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Boat strikes injure and kill large numbers of Florida manatees (Trichechus manatus latirostris) each year. Management actions taken to mitigate this threat can be potentially enhanced by consideration of manatee cognitive processes. The role of cognition in marine mammal conservation has received little consideration in the literature.
