  • Marine animal studies overview
  • Animal vocal communication and behavior
  • Wildlife ecology and conservation
  • Human-animal interaction studies
  • Animal behavior and reproduction
  • Coral and marine ecosystems studies
  • Bat biology and ecology studies

Mann has published extensively in various scientific venues, with frequent contributions to:

  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Behavioral Ecology
  • Communications Biology
  • Proceedings of the Royal Society B Biological Sciences
  • Frontiers in Marine Science

Their recent scholarly articles include:

  • "Sex, synchrony, and skin contact: integrating multiple behaviors to assess pathogen transmission risk" (2020) in Behavioral Ecology
  • "Juvenile social dynamics reflect adult reproductive strategies in bottlenose dolphins" (2020) in Behavioral Ecology
  • "Fibroblast growth factor 7 releasing particles enhance islet engraftment and improve metabolic control following islet transplantation in mice with diabetes" (2021) in American Journal of Transplantation
  • "Lifetime stability of social traits in bottlenose dolphins" (2021) in Communications Biology
