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 ...

RETRACTED ARTICLE: Lateral palatal foramina do not indicate baleen in fossil whales
Scientific Reports, 2022 Today’s mysticetes filter-feed using baleen, a novel integumentary structure with no apparent homolog in any living mammal. The origins of filter-feeding and baleen can be informed by the fossil record, including rare instances of soft tissue ...

Multiple-stage decisions in a marine central-place forager [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 Air-breathing marine animals face a complex set of physical challenges associated with diving that affect the decisions of how to optimize feeding. Baleen whales (Mysticeti) have evolved bulk-filter feeding mechanisms to efficiently feed on dense prey ...

Timing is everything: Drivers of interannual variability in blue whale migration. [PDF]
, 2020 Blue whales need to time their migration from their breeding grounds to their feeding grounds to avoid missing peak prey abundances, but the cues they use for this are unknown.

Synchronous seasonal change in fin whale song in the North Pacific. [PDF]
, 2014 Fin whale (Balaenoptera physalus) song consists of down-swept pulses arranged into stereotypic sequences that can be characterized according to the interval between successive pulses. As in blue (B. musculus) and humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae),

A MIDDLE MIOCENE BALEEN WHALE FROM BELE VODE IN BELGRADE, SERBIA
Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2018 There was a fauna of baleen whales (Cetacea: Mysticeti) in the Central Paratethys, a Miocene water body which covered the area of present-day Central Europe.
