Microanatomy of facial vibrissae in the Florida manatee: the basis for specialized sensory function and oripulation.
Brain Behav. Evol. 58(1): 1-14. 3 tabs. 5 figs.
–Notice: New Scientist, Mar. 23, 2002: 27, 1 fig. Describes the vibrissae and their blood & nerve supply. Confirms that all the facial hairs & bristles are vibrissae (sinus hairs); that these have a distinct combination of attributes in each of the 9 regions of the face; that the perioral bristles have both tactile sensory and prehensile roles (a combination of functions unique to sirs.); and that the facial vibrissae may play a role in hydrodynamic distance reception.
