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.

Blue and fin whales in the Northern Mariana Islands: Their call characteristics and occurrence.
PLoS ONEMany baleen whale vocalizations are species-, or even population-specific and can be used to monitor their occurrence. Although baleen whale occurrence has been well studied in parts of the Pacific Ocean, little is known about the seasonal distribution ...

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.ABSTRACT Respiration is a key physiological process in cetaceans, closely linked to energy expenditure, behavior, and physiological state. Using drone‐based surveys, we quantified respiration patterns of southern right whale (Eubalaena australis) mother–calf pairs in southern Brazil across two reproductive seasons (2020–2021).

A Global Compilation of Blue Whale Strandings
Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.ABSTRACT Marine mammal strandings are common occurrences that attract public and scientific interest. Stranding data can provide important information for rarely sighted species, but while regional and national stranding databases do exist in some areas, cross‐database communication and data sharing are limited.
