Molecular biology and evolution, 2019 Cetaceans are a clade of highly specialized aquatic mammals that include the largest animals that have ever lived. The largest whales can have ∼1,000× more cells than a human, with long lifespans, leaving them theoretically susceptible to cancer. However,

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Mysticetes, or baleen whales, have an air sac on the ventral surface of the larynx known as the “laryngeal sac.” The primary hypothesis regarding this structure's function is that it is involved in sound production. However, several other functions have been proposed, including air recycling, air storage, and even buoyancy control.

Virtopsy as a Revolutionary Tool for Cetacean Stranding Programs: Implementation and Management
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 On top of conventional necropsy, virtopsy (postmortem computed tomography and postmortem magnetic resonance imaging) has been integrated into the Cetacean Stranding Response Programme in Hong Kong since March 2014.

Intraspecific variation of cochlear morphology in bowhead and beluga whales
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The bony labyrinth of the petrosal bone, a distinctive feature of mammal skulls, is often identified in micro‐computed tomography imaging to infer species' physiological and ecological traits. When done as part of a comparative study, one individual specimen is normally considered representative of a species, and intraspecific variation is ...

Contribution to Herpesvirus Surveillance in Beaked Whales Stranded in the Canary Islands
Animals, 2021 Herpesviruses (HVs) (Alpha- and Gammaherpesvirinae subfamilies) have been detected in several species of cetaceans with different pathological implications. However, available information on their presence in beaked whales (BWs) is still scarce.

Reduced Adult Neurogenesis in Humans Results From a Tradeoff Rather Than Direct Negative Selection
BioEssays, EarlyView.Embryonic radial glia (RG) generate neurons, glial cells, and later adult neural stem cells, which sustain adult neurogenesis (top, left to right). Human‐specific genetic modifications (blue arrow), selected to boost early RG neurogenic activity, may lead to premature RG exhaustion and reduced adult neurogenesis in the human brain (bottom).

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 Cetacean and shark depredations in a small-scale longline fishery in the southeastern Taiwan waters were estimated based on interviews of 21 fishermen and logbooks of 12 sampling vessels, including 649 operations (681,310 hooks) from October 2009 to ...

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Background CD163 is a scavenger receptor predominantly expressed on the surfaces of macrophages in various mammalian species and is a marker of anti‐inflammatory (M2‐like) macrophages. High density of CD163‐positive tumor‐associated macrophages (TAMs) is associated with worse prognosis in various patient tumors.
