Estimates of annual survival probabilities for adult Florida manatees (Trichechus manatus latirostris) Estimates of annual survival probabilities for adult Florida manatees (Trichechus manatus latirostris)
The population dynamics of large, long-lived mammals are particularly sensitive to changes in adult survival. Understanding factors affecting survival patterns is therefore critical for developing and testing theories of population dynamics and for developing management strategies aimed at preventing declines or extinction in such taxa. Few studies have used modern analytical approaches...

The impact of debris on the Florida manatee The impact of debris on the Florida manatee
The endangered Florida manatee ingests debris while feeding. From 1978 through 1986, 439 salvaged manatees were examined. Debris was in the gastrointestinal tract of 63 (14.4%) and four died as a direct result of debris ingestion. Monofilament fishing line was the most common debris found (N=49). Plastic bags, string, twine, rope, fish hooks, wire, paper, cellophane, synthetic sponges...

Microhistological characteristics of selected aquatic plants of Florida, with techniques for the study of manatee food habits Microhistological characteristics of selected aquatic plants of Florida, with techniques for the study of manatee food habits
This study was initiated in 1978 to develop a technique of identifying and quantifying the digestive tract contents of Florida manatees (Trichechus manatus latirostris) and to serve as a manual for the identification and analysis of ingesta collected from manatee carcasses salvaged in Florida. This report includes key microhistological characters found useful in identifying fragments of...
