Bony labyrinths of the blackfish (Delphinidae: Globicephalinae) [PDF]
Marine Mammal Science, 2021 AbstractBony labyrinth morphology varies across marine mammals and contains key information regarding hearing sensitivity and ecology. The hearing ranges of globicephaline (Delphinidae: Globicephalinae) or melon‐headed dolphins, known as “Blackfish,” have been extensively studied using acoustic technologies, but clade‐wide morphological analysis of the
