High impact information on Trichechus manatus

  • To resolve the population genetic structure and phylogeography of the West Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus), mitochondrial (mt) DNA control region sequences were compared among eight locations across the western Atlantic region [1].
  • Synthesis of 5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha,6 beta,7 alpha,25,26-pentol and identification of a novel bile alcohol, alpha-trichechol, present in the West Indian manatee bile [2].
  • Nearly 100,000 people annually visit Crystal River, Florida, USA to observe and swim with the Florida manatee, an endangered species [3].
  • PROCEDURE: Specimens from West Indian manatee were preserved in 10% buffered formalin, embedded in paraffin, serial sectioned and stained by Masson trichrome for light microscopic three-dimensional reconstruction and evaluation [4].
