Encephalization quotients and life-history traits in the Sirenia.
Jour. Mamm. 71(4): 534-543. 2 tabs. 2 figs. Dec. 7, 1990.
–Presents data on brain and body size in Recent sirs., and on growth rates and closure of cranial sutures in wild Florida manatees. Concludes that low encephalization quotients in sirs. are due to low metabolic rate and prolonged postnatal growth, leading to a post-weaning increase in body size that is decoupled from brain growth.
