Twelve years of “Astro” in Sergipe State: in search of harmony between the manatee and the local waterside communities =Doze anos de “Astro” no Estado de Sergipe: buscando harmonia entre o peixe-boi e as comunidades ribeirinhas [PDF]

Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2012
The Antillean manatee (Trichechus manatus) is the most threatened aquatic mammal in Brazil. It was considered to be extinct in Sergipe until 1998, when a re-introduced animal (Astro) arrived.

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.

A PCR assay for gender assignment in dugong (Dugong dugon) and West Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus)

, 2008
Gender assignment for some aquatic mammals in the field is difficult. Molecular sexing from tissue biopsies is possible as males are heterogametic. Here we describe a multiplex PCR assay that amplifies the male specific SRY gene and differentiates ZFX ...

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.

Optimizing Total Suspended Solids Mitigation in a Data‐Limited Watershed: A Network‐Based Advection–Reaction Model Applied to the Canal del Dique, Colombia

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Total Suspended Solids (TSS) significantly degrade water quality by reducing light penetration and oxygen availability, while facilitating the transport of toxic contaminants. Managing TSS in watersheds requires an understanding of both hydrological connectivity and pollutant dynamics; however, these efforts are significantly constrained by ...

Factors influencing survival of rescued Amazonian manatees (Trichechus inunguis) during clinical rehabilitation in Peru

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.
The Amazonian manatee (Trichechus inunguis) faces threats like habitat loss, illegal hunting, and pollution. Our analysis of 54 rescued manatees in a Peruvian Amazon rehabilitation center revealed that initial weight and rate of weight gain significantly influenced survival during rehabilitation, while intestinal obstruction, often from prior ...
