Recent Literature

This Bibliography is still under construction.

With each issue of Sirenews, Dr. Domning updates us on recent manatee & dugong related literature. This Bibliography is a compilation of all those updates from Issues 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34 & 35. Last UPDATED 14 September 2001 -- See the latest Sirenews Issue for more: Sirenews
