درباره این کتاب:
Despite their
rich fossil history, there are only four
surviving species of sirenians or sea
cows, the only fully aquatic herbivorous
mammals. The three species of manatees and
the dugong live in the coastal waters
rivers and lakes of more than 80 tropical
and subtropical countries and are all on
the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
This book examines sirenian conservation
biology through the lens of their
behavioral ecology and ethology. Sirenian
feeding, diving, movement, social and
reproductive behaviors are reviewed by an
international team of scientists from
eight countries, with an emphasis on data
gathered in the past 15 years.
