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.

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 ...

Distribution, abundance, and feeding ecology of baleen whales in Icelandic waters: have recent environmental changes had an effect? [PDF]

, 2015
Date of Acceptance: 13/01/2015The location of Iceland at the junction of submarine ridges in the North-East Atlantic where warm and cold water masses meet south of the Arctic Circle contributes to high productivity of the waters around the island. During

Sound production and associated behavior of tagged fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus) in the Southern California Bight [PDF]

, 2011
Background: For marine animals, acoustic communication is critical for many life functions, yet individual calling behavior is poorly understood for most large whale species. These topics are important for understanding whale social behavior and can also

Scaling of swimming performance in baleen whales [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2019
The scale-dependence of locomotor factors have long been studied in comparative biomechanics, but remain poorly understood for animals at the upper extremes of body size. Rorqual baleen whales include the largest animals, but we lack basic kinematic data about their movements and behavior below the ocean surface.

RETRACTED ARTICLE: Lateral palatal foramina do not indicate baleen in fossil whales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 ...
