Evolutionary trends in the vertebral morphology of extant Delphinidae [PDF]

BMC Ecology and Evolution
Background Vertebral morphology in cetaceans is linked to various functional abilities that promote ecological diversity and adaptive radiation. While morphometric studies have examined vertebral shape evolution, few have quantified evolutionary trends ...

Tattoo Skin Disease in Cetacea: A Review, with New Cases for the Northeast Pacific [PDF]

Animals, 2022
Tattoo skin disease (TSD) is a poxviral dermatopathy diagnosed in cetaceans. We review the literature on TSD aetiology, clinical characteristics, pathology and epidemiology and evaluate immune responses against the virus.

Novel lineage of anelloviruses with large genomes identified in dolphins [PDF]

Journal of Virology
Anellovirus infections are ubiquitous in mammals but lack any clear disease association, suggesting a commensal virus-host relationship. Although anelloviruses have been identified in numerous mammalian hosts, their presence in members of the family ...
