| 1980 | Dugong feeding habitats in the Manus Province. Wildlife in Papua New Guinea 80/12: 1-31. 16 tabs. 7 figs. –Abstr.: Internatl. Symp. Biol. Manage. Mangroves Trop. Shallow Water Communs. 2: 46-47, 1980. Characterizes seagrass beds where dugongs were observed feeding, and concludes that they prefer beds with >20 g dry weight of leaf biomass (>48 g of total plant biomass) per square meter, higher than values recorded in Queensland. The presence of hunters may also influence dugongs' choice of feeding sites. | ||
