Locus coeruleus complex of the family Delphinidae [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2018
The locus coeruleus (LC) is the largest catecholaminergic nucleus and extensively projects to widespread areas of the brain and spinal cord. The LC is the largest source of noradrenaline in the brain.

Mitogenomic phylogenetic analyses of the Delphinidae with an emphasis on the Globicephalinae [PDF]

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2011
Background Previous DNA-based phylogenetic studies of the Delphinidae family suggest it has undergone rapid diversification, as characterised by unresolved and poorly supported taxonomic relationships (polytomies) for some of the species within this ...

Low Heterozygosity and Historical Bottleneck Effect Depicted From the Genome Assembly of the Indus River Dolphin (Platanista minor) [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
The Indus River dolphin (Platanista minor) is a highly endangered freshwater dolphin endemic to the Indus River system of the Indian subcontinent. We reported a de novo assembly and characterization of the draft genome of the Indus River dolphin by using

Drivers of Viral Diversity and Sharing in Marine Mammals. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Knowledge of viral infection in marine mammals, a group severely threatened by human activity, is largely limited to the pathology and epidemiology of few endemic viruses. The recent emergence in marine mammals of high‐consequence viruses, such as H5N1 avian influenza and rabies, underscores the importance of understanding the ecology of viral

Morphology of the Tympano-Periotic Complex in Stranded Odontocetes in Northeast Brazil. [PDF]

J Morphol
This study presents the morphological and morphometric characterization of the tympano‐periotic complex (TPC) in six odontocete species stranded along the northeastern coast of Brazil. A total of 57 TPCs were analyzed, revealing interspecific differences in key anatomical features and supporting taxonomic differentiation.

How large should whales be? [PDF]

, 2013
The evolution and distribution of species body sizes for terrestrial mammals is well-explained by a macroevolutionary tradeoff between short-term selective advantages and long-term extinction risks from increased species body size, unfolding above the 2g
