How large should whales be? [PDF]

, 2013
The evolution and distribution of species body sizes for terrestrial mammals is well-explained by a macroevolutionary tradeoff between short-term selective advantages and long-term extinction risks from increased species body size, unfolding above the 2g

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 ...

A new Miocene baleen whale from the Peruvian desert [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2016
The Pisco-Ica and Sacaco basins of southern Peru are renowned for their abundance of exceptionally preserved fossil cetaceans, several of which retain traces of soft tissue and occasionally even stomach contents.

In search of the origin of crown Mysticeti. [PDF]

J R Soc N Z
ABSTRACT Recent research on mysticete fossils from the Late Eocene and Oligocene has revolutionised our understanding of the diversity and evolutionary scenarios for early baleen whales. For example, aetiocetids are a possible, though controversial, lineage that bridges the gap between the toothed and baleen‐bearing mysticetes, and eomysticetids show a

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.
