Dugongs and manatees, the only fully aquatic herbivorous mammals,
live in the coastal waters, rivers and lakes of more than 80
subtropical and tropical countries. Symbols of fierce conservation
battles, sirenian populations are threatened by multiple global
problems. Providing comparative information on all four surviving
species, this book synthesises the ecological and related knowledge
pertinent to understanding the biology and conservation of the
sirenia. It presents detailed scientific summaries, covering
sirenian feeding biology; reproduction and population dynamics;
behavioural ecology; habitat requirements and threats to their
continued existence. Outlining the current conservation status of
the sirenian taxa, this unique study will equip researchers and
professionals with the scientific knowledge required to develop
proactive, precautionary and achievable strategies to conserve
dugongs and manatees. Supplementary material is available online
at: www.cambridge.org/9780521888288.
