Shedding light on the parasite communities and diet of the deep‐sea shark Deania profundorum (Smith & Radcliffe, 1912) (Squaliform: Centrophoridae) from the Avilés Canyon (southern Bay of Biscay)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Deep‐sea elasmobranchs are less resilient to the increasing scale of anthropogenic impacts such as fisheries, owing to their life‐history traits. The necessity for proper management measures is hampered by the scant knowledge on these taxa and their biology. Here we provide the first comprehensive insight into the parasite infracommunities and

Neurovascular evidence for a co-occurrence of teeth and baleen in an Oligocene mysticete and the transition to filter-feeding in baleen whales

Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2021
Extant baleen whales (Mysticeti) have a deciduous foetal dentition, but are edentulous at birth. Fossils reveal that the earliest mysticetes possessed an adult dentition.

Lateral palatal foramina are not widespread in Artiodactyla and imply baleen in extinct mysticetes

Scientific Reports
A recent paper by Peredo et al. 1 criticized the well-established hypothesis that lateral palatal foramina (LPF) on the hard palate of baleen whales (Artiodactyla, Cetacea, Mysticeti) indicate the presence of baleen in extinct species, citing examples of

Gigantism Precedes Filter Feeding in Baleen Whale Evolution [PDF]

Current Biology, 2018
Baleen whales (Mysticeti) are the largest animals on Earth, thanks to their ability to filter feed vast amounts of small prey from seawater. Whales appeared during the latest Eocene, but evidence of their early evolution remains both sparse and controversial, with several models competing to explain the origin of baleen-based bulk feeding.

Stable Isotope Analysis (δ13C and δ15N) of Baleen Plates Reveals Feeding Patterns in Stranded Humpback Whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) Along the Brazilian Coast

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) from breeding stock A migrate annually between Antarctic feeding grounds (~65° S) and Brazilian breeding areas (~17° S). Traditionally considered to fast during migration, recent feeding observations and increased strandings along southeastern Brazil (~23° S) raise questions about possible shifts in ...

Conservation and selective pressures shaping baleen whale olfactory receptor genes supports their use of olfaction in the marine environment

Molecular Ecology
The relative importance of various sensory modalities can shift in response to evolutionary transitions, resulting in changes to underlying gene families encoding their reception systems.

Retrophylogenomics in rorquals indicate large ancestral population sizes and a rapid radiation

Mobile DNA, 2019
Background Baleen whales (Mysticeti) are the largest animals on earth and their evolutionary history has been studied in detail, but some relationships still remain contentious.
