Slocum Gliders Provide Accurate Near Real-Time Estimates of Baleen Whale Presence From Human-Reviewed Passive Acoustic Detection Information [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 Mitigating the effects of human activities on marine mammals often depends on monitoring animal occurrence over long time scales, large spatial scales, and in real time. Passive acoustics, particularly from autonomous vehicles, is a promising approach to

A high-resolution 3D reconstructed skeleton of the extinct dwarf whale Cetotherium riabinini from Ukraine [PDF]
Scientific DataCetotheres (family Cetotheriidae) were small-sized extinct baleen whales, likely the smallest among toothless baleen whales. Cetotherium riabinini Hofstein, 1948 is known as a single specimen, the holotype.

Hydration affects the physical and mechanical properties of baleen tissue [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 Baleen, an anisotropic oral filtering tissue found only in the mouth of mysticete whales and made solely of alpha-keratin, exhibits markedly differing physical and mechanical properties between dried or (as in life) hydrated states.

Assessing the viability of estimating baleen whale abundance from tourist vessels
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Many populations of southern hemisphere baleen whales are recovering and are again becoming dominant consumers in the Southern Ocean. Key to understanding the present and future role of baleen whales in Southern Ocean ecosystems is determining their ...

The genome of the pygmy right whale illuminates the evolution of rorquals
BMC Biology, 2023 Background Baleen whales are a clade of gigantic and highly specialized marine mammals. Their genomes have been used to investigate their complex evolutionary history and to decipher the molecular mechanisms that allowed them to reach these dimensions ...
