A new balaenopterid species from the Southern North Sea Basin informs about phylogeny and taxonomy of Burtinopsis and Protororqualus (Cetacea, Mysticeti, Balaenopteridae) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Background An extensive radiation can be inferred among balaenopterid mysticetes in the last 10 million years based on a rich fossil record. Many extinct genera and species have been established in the past by the study of fossil rorquals from northern ...

Morphological variation of the relictual alveolar structures in the mandibles of baleen whales [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Living baleen whales (mysticetes) are bulk filter feeders that use keratinous baleen plates to filter food from prey laden water. Extant mysticetes are born entirely edentulous, though they possess tooth buds early in ontogeny, a trait inherited from ...

Using multivariate generalized linear latent variable models to measure the difference in event count for stranded marine animals [PDF]
Global Journal of Environmental Science and Management, 2021 BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The classification of marine animals as protected species makes data and information on them to be very important. Therefore, this led to the need to retrieve and understand the data on the event counts for stranded marine ...

A Pygmy Blue Whale (Cetacea: Balaenopteridae) in the Inshore Waters of New Caledonia [PDF]
Pacific Science, 2004 The occurrence of a blue whale is reported for the first time for the New Caledonian archipelago. The whale, a juvenile male in poor condition, entered the shallow inshore waters of the coral reef lagoon (22° 19-24' S, 166° 46-52' E) where it spent at least 1 month until it was killed by whaler sharks on 27 January 2002.

Structure of the cerebral cortex of the humpback whale,Megaptera novaeangliae (Cetacea, Mysticeti, Balaenopteridae) [PDF]
The Anatomical Record Part A: Discoveries in Molecular, Cellular, and Evolutionary Biology, 2006 AbstractCetaceans diverged from terrestrial mammals between 50 and 60 million years ago and acquired, during their adaptation to a fully aquatic milieu, many derived features, including echolocation (in odontocetes), remarkable auditory and communicative abilities, as well as a complex social organization. Whereas brain structure has been documented in
