A new Beneziphius beaked whale from the ocean floor off Galicia, Spain and biostratigraphic reassessment of the type species [PDF]
, 2017 Although the fossil record of beaked whales (Cetacea, Odontoceti, Ziphiidae) is continuously improving, the geological age of new taxa is often poorly constrained.

Genomic Insights Into the Body Size Evolution in Mustelidae (Mammalia: Carnivora)
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.The comparative genomic analysis of 19 mustelid species provides insights into the genetic basis of body size evolution, identifying candidate genes and pathways under selection that underlie the remarkable morphological diversity in Mustelidae. ABSTRACT The extraordinary body size diversity within Mustelidae makes this carnivoran family an exceptional

Most mammals do not wander: few species escape continental endemism
Ecography, Volume 2025, Issue 10, October 2025.Terrestrial mammals are found nearly everywhere on Earth. Yet, most taxa are endemic to a single continent; geological, evolutionary, ecological, or physiological filters constrain geographic distributions. Here, we synthesize data on geography, taxonomy, lineage age, dispersal, body size, and diet for > 4000 terrestrial mammals prior to detectable ...

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 7, October 2025.ABSTRACT Escalating concern regarding the impacts of reduced genetic diversity on the conservation of endangered species has spurred efforts to obtain chromosome‐level genomes through consortia such as the Vertebrate Genomes Project. However, assembling reference genomes for many threatened species remains challenging due to difficulties obtaining ...

Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 1997 An incomplete skull of Hemisyntrachelus sp. (Cetacea, Delphinidae) is described from the Piacenzian clayey marls of Rio Stramonte (Piacenza, Italy). The new find confirms the abundance of Hemisyntrachelus in the peri-Adriatic area during the Pliocene.

Anatomy and morphology adaptation of sea mammals [PDF]
, 2010 Morski sisavci uključuju dvije brojne i široke grupe, Cetacea (kitovi) i Pinnipedia (tuljani, morski lavovi i morževi), te manje brojnu grupu Sirenia. Svaka grupa morskih sisavaca je evoluirala od pretka na kopnu te se sekundarno vratila životu u vodi ...
