Karyotypical Confirmation of Natural Hybridization between Two Manatee Species, Trichechus manatus and Trichechus inunguis. [PDF]

Life (Basel), 2022
Two species of manatees are found in Northern Brazil—the Antillean manatee (Trichechus manatus), which is found along the coast from Florida to Northeastern Brazil, and the Amazonian manatee (Trichechus inunguis), endemic to the Amazon drainage basin ...

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.

Manatee watching is widespread and seasonally affected in Northeast Brazil: a case of the Endangered Trichechus manatus manatus (Sirenia: Trichechidae)

Nature Conservation Research, 2023
Marine mammal watching is a non-consumptive wildlife-oriented tourism practice. Trichechus manatus manatus (hereinafter – Antillean manatee) belongs to the charismatic marine megafauna and is subject to this practice at many places.

The Antillean manatee ( Trichechus manatus manatus ) along the Caribbean coast of Colombia: underused incidental records help identify present and past coastal‐lowland hotspots

Marine mammal science, 2022
The Antillean manatee ( Trichechus manatus manatus ; hereafter “ manatee ” ) ranges from Mexico and the Bahamas south to Brazil and is listed as Endangered by the IUCN (Self-Sullivan & Mignucci-Giannoni, 2008). Castelblanco-Martínez et al.

Assessing the Giant Panda Protected Areas and Habitat Trends for Sympatric Endangered Species: A Climate Change Perspective. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Here, we used a tuned MaxEnt model to investigate concurrent habitat trends of giant pandas and sympatric endangered species—forest musk deer—under various climate scenarios in the Liangshan Mountains. Additionally, we assessed the effectiveness of protected area boundaries designed for flagship species.

Unveiling the Genetic Structure of New Caledonian Dugongs Using a Multiscale Genetic Approach: Conservation Challenges for an Isolated Population. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The small New Caledonian dugong population is geographically isolated, with extremely low mitochondrial DNA. Using mitochondrial DNA, microsatellites, and SNPs from 66 samples collected over 2 decades, we identified fine‐scale genetic structure and confirmed strong differentiation from Australian populations.

Characteristics and spatial identification of Antillean manatee (Trichechus manatus manatus Sirenia: Trichechidae) strandings in Guatemala

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2023
Introduction: Marine mammal strandings can be used to determine the impacts of anthropogenic activity on the species survival, population health, and levels of environmental pollution in ecosystems.
