Bioacoustic Classification of Antillean Manatee Vocalization Spectrograms Using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks

Applied Sciences, 2020
We evaluated the potential of using convolutional neural networks in classifying spectrograms of Antillean manatee (Trichechus manatus manatus) vocalizations. Spectrograms using binary, linear and logarithmic amplitude formats were considered.

Distribution and conservation status of the Antillean manatee (Trichechus manatus manatus) in Honduras [PDF]

Latin American Journal of Aquatic Mammals, 2014
The Antillean manatee, Trichechus manatus manatus, is among the most threatened mammals in Honduras, yet the last published study is from 1980. Since then, the North Coast of Honduras has experienced rapid population growth and land cover change possibly causing habitat loss for manatees.

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 ...

Detecting Convergence of Amino Acid Physicochemical Properties Underlying the Organismal Adaptive Convergent Evolution. [PDF]

Mol Ecol Resour
ABSTRACT 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.
