John E. Reynolds III and Daniel K. Odell, Manatees and Dugongs (1991), is a substantive and well-illustrated account of the biology and conservation of dugongs and manatees. Warren Zeiller, Introducing the Manatee (1992), a first-hand account of manatee experiences from a former curator of the Miami Seaquarium, also covers other sirenians. Daryl P. Domning, “Fossils Explained 24: Sirenians (Seacows),” Geology Today, 15(2):75–80 (March–April 1999), provides a general overview of the fossil history of manatees, dugongs, and their extinct kin.
