2023: Multi-scale habitat selection of Antillean manatees in southeastern Mexico

University of Ottawa

I study the habitat selection of Antillean manatees (Trichechus manatus manatus) in Sian Ka’an, southeastern Mexico. I am identifying the important environmental variables explaining manatee presence at both a fine and large spatial scale. For my statistical anaylses, I use generalized linear mixed models with a Bayesian approach.
