Abstract

The Antillean manatee ( I Trichechus manatus manatus i ; hereafter "manatee") ranges from Mexico and the Bahamas south to Brazil and is listed as Endangered by the IUCN (Self-Sullivan & Mignucci-Giannoni, [56]). The Antillean manatee (Trichechus manatus manatus) along the Caribbean coast of Colombia: underused incidental records help identify present and past coastal-lowland hotspots Detailed studies by others into habitat selection by manatees (e.g., Caicedo-Herrera et al., [9]; Mahecha, [38]), would suggest that the current distribution of manatees neither accurately reflects the historical distributional nor the innate distributional preference of manatees. Análisis del estado de la población de manatí Trichechus manatus manatus Linnaeus, 1758 (Mammalia: Sirenia) en la Vía Parque isla de Salamanca, (Magdalena-Colombia) [Analysis of the status of the manatee population Trichechus manatus manatus Linnaeus, 1758 (Mammalia: Sirenia) in the Vía Parque Isla de Salamanca, (Magdalena-Colombia)] [Bachelor thesis].
