Abstract For two years, the world has been experiencing a coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic. Non-human animals are susceptible to virus, including marine mammals. Here we aimed test Antillean manatees, Trichechus manatus , for (SARS-CoV-2). We collected samples from 19 individuals kept under responsibility of Brazilian centre research and conservation aquatic mammals (ICMBio/CMA). analysed through RT-PCR RT-LAMP-PCR found that manatees tested positive SARS-CoV-2. Such result led new...

Abstract Tactile signals have been neglected in aquatic animal studies despite being a major communication modality. We investigated Antillean manatees’ tactile behavioural repertoire and budget captivity (7-females 4-males) semi-captivity (4-males) Brazil. detected 17 behaviours (14.03% of the activity budget) with social, self-maintenance, or environmental exploration functions. The observation method influenced detection self-maintenance — focal ad libitum more these than scan sampling....

Abstract Vocal complexity can be expressed through variations in repertoire size, structure, and individual manatee repertoires. Here we aimed to assess the of vocal behaviour Antillean manatees living captivity (i.e., artificial pools) reintroduction enclosures natural placed an estuarine area). Specifically, evaluated: (i) structure vocalisations whether they had variants; (ii) variation call production (rate pattern) between groups with different configurations; (iii) individuality...

The human response to the COVID-19 pandemic set in motion an unprecedented shift activity with unknown long-term effects. impacts marine systems are expected be highly dynamic at local and global scales. However, comparison terrestrial ecosystems, we not well-prepared document these changes coastal environments. problems two-fold: 1) manual siloed data collection processing, 2) reliance on professionals for observation analysis. These relevant beyond a barrier understanding rapidly evolving...
