Whale phylogeny and rapid radiation events revealed using novel retroposed elements and their flanking sequences

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2011
Background A diversity of hypotheses have been proposed based on both morphological and molecular data to reveal phylogenetic relationships within the order Cetacea (dolphins, porpoises, and whales), and great progress has been made in the past two ...

Revised taxonomy of eastern North Pacific killer whales (Orcinus orca): Bigg’s and resident ecotypes deserve species status

Royal Society Open Science
Killer whales (Orcinus orca) are currently recognized as a single ecologically and morphologically diverse, globally distributed species. Multiple morphotypes or ecotypes have been described, often associated with feeding specialization, and several ...

Relationships among Odontoceti and Mysticeti, between Neoceti and Archaeoceti, and higher level taxa of Whippomorpha (Cetacea + Hippopotamidae)

, 2016
Note that within Cetacea, the only ghost lineage (any length of time missing fossils as inferred from the phylogeny) is a short gap at the origin of Odontoceti. There is a large ghost lineage between Hippopotamidae and the base of Cetacea.

Feeding ecology of franciscana dolphin, Pontoporia blainvillei (Cetacea:Pontoporiidae), and oceanographic processes on the Southern Brazilian coast [PDF]

, 2005
The feeding regime of the franciscana dolphin was investigated from stomach contents of incidentally caught animals in gillnets along the southern Brazilian coast, from 1994 to 2000. The analyses were based mainly on Linear and Generalised Linear Models (

Comparative chromosome studies in Cetacea

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.
