Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.Correlative species distribution models (SDMs) are quantitative tools in biogeography and macroecology. Building upon the ecological niche concept, they correlate environmental covariates to species presence to model habitat suitability and predict species distributions.

Suction feeding preceded filtering in baleen whale evolution [PDF]
Memoirs of Museum Victoria, 2016 The origin of baleen, the key adaptation of modern whales (Mysticeti), marks a profound yet poorly understood transition in vertebrate evolution, triggering the rise of the largest animals on Earth. Baleen is thought to have appeared in archaic tooth-bearing mysticetes during a transitional phase that combined raptorial feeding with incipient bulk ...

Acoustic indices are not useful for biodiversity research
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1506-1518, May 2026.Abstract Biodiversity assessment using passive acoustic monitoring has historically been challenging due to the limited availability of multi‐species acoustic detectors. In this context, acoustic indices were introduced as an alternative way to represent species diversity in acoustic datasets.

Fin whale singing decreases with increased swimming speed [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 The attributes of male acoustic advertisement displays are often related to a performer's age, breeding condition and motivation, but these relationships are particularly difficult to study in free-ranging marine mammals.

Baleen whales: preliminary evidence for forestomach microbial fermentation [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1984 Baleen whales have a multichambered stomach divided into three distinct compartments. The forestomach (first compartment) consists of noncornified and nonglandular tissue and appears to be analogous to the tissue of the rumen. The exact function of the forestomach is unknown; however, we have detected volatile fatty acids in forestomach samples from ...
