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

Disseminated toxoplasmosis in Antillean manatees Trichechus manatus manatus from Puerto Rico [PDF]
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2012 Necropsies were conducted on 4 Antillean manatees Trichechus manatus manatus that were stranded in single events on the coastal beaches of Puerto Rico from August 2010 to August 2011. Three manatees were emaciated and the gastrointestinal tracts were devoid of digesta.

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.
