only made during feeding and resting behaviors in grass bed habitats. Behavioral<br />
state and habitat type may have significant impacts on the motivation to react, and<br />
responses in other behavioral contexts (e.g., actively socializing) and habitats should<br />
be investigated.<br />
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS<br />
The success of this project would not have been possible without the help of numerous<br />
people. The interns and staff in the Manatee Research Program at Mote Marine Laboratory were<br />
critical to the field efforts. Special thanks are extended to Doug Nowacek for his input on initial<br />
project design. Thanks are also extended to Gretchen Hurst, Joe Gaspard, and Marie Chapla<br />
for their help with stimulus recordings. All playbacks were conducted under the guidelines<br />
of U.S. Fish and Wildlife permit MA07<strong>17</strong>99-0 issued to Jennifer Miksis and comply with all<br />
current laws of the country. This project was funded by a National Defense for Science and<br />
Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) Fellowship, P.E.O. Scholar Award, and American Association<br />
for University Women (AAUW) Dissertation Writing Fellowship awarded to Jennifer Miksis.<br />
