Vertebral osteology in Delphinidae (Cetacea) [PDF]
Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2004 Vertebral anatomy in delphinid cetaceans exhibits marked heterogeneity. Description and functional interpretation of this variability is facilitated by the recognition of structural units along the column whose boundaries transgress those of the classical mammalian series. Vertebral anatomy of the killer whale (Orcinus orca) and the Atlantic whitesided
