May 10, 2022 · Manatees in Florida experience two main seasons that drive large-scale movements and habitat use patterns: the cold winter season (December to February) and the warm season (April to October), separated by variably cool transitional months (November and March).
Mar 5, 2024 · investigated how dugongs locally used a high conservation value coral-reef lagoon system during different seasons and tides to support local management. Methods
Mar 5, 2024 · We used this approach to assess the fine-scale distribution and abundance of dugongs (Dugong dugon) in the remote waters of the Pilbara, Western Australia during three field seasons across...
Jan 11, 2022 · In this study, the spatio-temporal habitat use dynamics of the vulnerable dugong (Dugong dugon) were modelled from 16 satellite-tagged individuals in the coral reef lagoonal ecosystems of New...
Nov 1, 2018 · The dugongs' individual activity spaces generally declined as winter progressed suggesting a change in the cost-effectiveness of moving outside the bay. Our analysis adds to the evidence that dugongs undertake behavioural thermoregulation at least at the high latitude limits of their range.

Climate Change Affects Dugong Distribution and Habitat Availability. This hypothesis proposes that climate change-induced factors such as sea level rise, ocean temperature changes, and altered weather patterns could impact seagrass habitats and consequently influence dugong distribution. Research might focus on how dugongs
Mar 5, 2024 · Put together, these studies show that the way dugongs interact with their habitat will vary with location, time of the year, and the size and heterogeneity of the habitats in which they are found (see Deutsch et al. (2022) for review).
