Potential role of vocalizations in West Indian manatees.
Jour. Mamm. 66(4): 816-819. 2 figs. Nov. 29, 1985.
–Reports correlations between number of calls and various behaviors of manatees in Blue Spring and the St. Johns River, Florida. Concludes that vocalizations are mainly social and communicative in function, not navigational. Notes the possible use of vocalizations for alarm, greeting, and synchronizing of breathing, and estimates the distances at which manatees can hear various sounds.
