| 1982 | Ecology of manatees (Trichechus manatus) in the St. Johns River, Florida. [Abstr.] Dissert. Abstrs. Internatl., B. Sci. Eng. 42(12): 4668. June 1982. –Describes daily and seasonal movements in response to temperature; reports that males patrol large ranges in search of estrous females, which have relatively small home ranges; mentions observations on daily activity patterns; suggests that behavioral tradition may be important in manatee populations; and reports that manatees failed to show a preference among 4 species of food plants offered them in experimental trials. | ||
