Genetic variability in the Florida manatee (Trichechus manatus).
Jour. Mamm. 69(3): 481-488. 4 tabs. Aug. 30, 1988.
–Reports that gel electrophoresis of tissues of salvaged carcasses from 20 counties in Florida showed normal to high levels of polymorphism and heterozygosity, and considerable genetic homogeneity across regions. The latter is attributed to high gene flow. An excess of homozygotes within regions may be due to natal-area fidelity.
