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.

Disparity of turbinal bones in placental mammals. [PDF]
Anat Rec (Hoboken)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.

Diet of the manatees (Trichechus manatus manatus) in Chetumal Bay, Mexico
Latin American Journal of Aquatic Mammals, 2009 Manatees, as well as other sirenians, are aquatic, opportunistic herbivores. Knowledge of their diet is important to determine habitat requirements. This is the first study of manatee diet in Mexico. Our main objective was to identify the plant species eaten by manatees in Chetumal Bay, and to establish if diet composition varied by climatic season ...
