Phylogeny and adaptive evolution of the brain-development gene microcephalin (
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2011 Background Representatives of Cetacea have the greatest absolute brain size among animals, and the largest relative brain size aside from humans. Despite this, genes implicated in the evolution of large brain size in primates have yet to be surveyed in ...

Back to Water: Signature of Adaptive Evolution in Cetacean Mitochondrial tRNAs. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The mitochondrion is the power plant of the eukaryotic cell, and tRNAs are the fundamental components of its translational machinery. In the present paper, the evolution of mitochondrial tRNAs was investigated in the Cetacea, a clade of Cetartiodactyla ...

Comparative chromosome studies in Cetacea [PDF]
Hereditas, 2009 The karyology was studied in 9 species of cetaceans, viz. in 5 odontocetes and 4 mysticetes. Chromosome measurements and idiograms of 8 species are presented. Comparisons were made between the karyotypes of the different species on the basis of conventional staining methods as well as by autoradiography and by Q-, G-, and C-banding techniques.

Wild Cetacea Identification using Image Metadata
Journal of Computer Science and Technology, 2017 Identification of individuals in marine species, especially in Cetacea, is a critical task in several biological and ecological endeavours. Most of the times this is performed through human-assisted matching within a set of pictures taken in different ...

A new diminutive fossil ziphiid from the deep-sea floor off northern Chile and some remarks on the body size evolution and palaeobiogeography of the beaked whales [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2023 The evolutionary history of the beaked whales (Ziphiidae), odontocetes nowadays adapted to deep diving, is well known thanks to a significant fossil record mainly from the deep ocean floors.
