Intraspecific variation of cochlear morphology in bowhead and beluga whales
The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 6, Page 1514-1529, June 2026.Abstract The bony labyrinth of the petrosal bone, a distinctive feature of mammal skulls, is often identified in micro‐computed tomography imaging to infer species' physiological and ecological traits. When done as part of a comparative study, one individual specimen is normally considered representative of a species, and intraspecific variation is ...

Largest baleen whale mass mortality during strong El Niño event is likely related to harmful toxic algal bloom [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 While large mass mortality events (MMEs) are well known for toothed whales, they have been rare in baleen whales due to their less gregarious behavior. Although in most cases the cause of mortality has not been conclusively identified, some baleen whale ...

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1406-1462, June 2026.ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.The Bryde's whale is one of the least understood baleen whale species globally, limiting accuracy of regional and global conservation assessment. This study shows the occurrence of unique genetic lineages and evolutionary histories among Bryde's whale populations.

Reproductive Tactics in Baleen Whales
, 2023 AbstractWhile a variety of reproductive tactics are readily witnessed in odontocetes, such behaviors can be far more elusive in baleen whales and in some cases are yet to be observed. This leads researchers to study the reproductive behaviors in mysticetes using a variety of research methods which have improved greatly in recent years.
