Back to Water: Signature of Adaptive Evolution in Cetacean Mitochondrial tRNAs [PDF]

, 2016
The mitochondrion is the power plant of the eukaryotic cell, and tRNAs are the fundamental components of its translational machinery. In the present paper, the evolution of mitochondrial tRNAs was investigated in the Cetacea, a clade of Cetartiodactyla ...

Norrisanima miocaena, a new generic name and redescription of a stem balaenopteroid mysticete (Mammalia, Cetacea) from the Miocene of California [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
Rorqual whales are among the most species rich group of baleen whales (or mysticetes) alive today, yet the monophyly of the traditional grouping (i.e., Balaenopteridae) remains unclear.

Humpback Whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) Song on a Subarctic Feeding Ground

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Male humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) are known to produce long complex sequences of structured vocalizations called song. Singing behavior has traditionally been associated with low latitude breeding grounds but is increasingly reported outside ...

Navigating Cetacean Mitochondrial Genome Data: Identifying Coverage and Deficiencies in Public Repositories. [PDF]

Mol Ecol Resour
ABSTRACT Genetic reference databases underpin a wide range of molecular approaches used to study cetacean biodiversity, including environmental DNA (eDNA), yet their reliability depends critically on data completeness, taxonomic accuracy, and metadata quality.

First record of humpback whale songs in Southern Chile: Analysis of seasonal and diel variation [PDF]

, 2018
Male humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) produce complex, patterned songs that are traditionally recorded on their breeding grounds. In this work, we report results from the first continuous acoustic monitoring of a humpback whale feeding ground off
