From Problem Taxa to Problem Solver: A New Miocene Family, Tranatocetidae, Brings Perspective on Baleen Whale Evolution. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Miocene baleen whales were highly diverse and included tens of genera. However, their taxonomy and phylogeny, as well as relationships with living whales, are still a subject of controversy.

Distilling food web dynamics: top–down and bottom–up drivers of extinction and trophic cascades
Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.Quantifying population dynamics is a fundamental challenge in ecology and evolutionary biology, particularly for species that are cryptic, microscopic, or extinct. Traditional approaches rely on continuous representations of population size, but in many cases, the precise number of individuals is unknowable.

Endangered Species Research, 2013 Marine construction works often lead to temporary increases in vessel traffic, which, in addition to the construction activity itself, contribute to underwater ambient noise in the affected area and increase the risk of vessel collision for marine ...

Baleen Hydrodynamics and Morphology of Cross-Flow Filtration in Balaenid Whale Suspension Feeding. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The traditional view of mysticete feeding involves static baleen directly sieving particles from seawater using a simple, dead-end flow-through filtration mechanism.

Description and seasonal detection of two potential whale calls recorded in the Indian Ocean [PDF]
, 2015 Unidentified acoustic signals are recorded by hydrophones placed in the world's oceans. Some of these sounds are suspected to originate from marine mammals. In this study, two acoustic signals recorded by two arrays at Diego Garcia in the northern Indian

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.Marine mammals are vulnerable to a variety of anthropogenic threats, yet a global systematic map of the literature for 19 species found both spatial and temporal disparity in research effort between threats and between species. There are knowledge gaps for species and threats, with effort unequal across many species' ranges.

Fin whale sound reception mechanisms: skull vibration enables low-frequency hearing. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Hearing mechanisms in baleen whales (Mysticeti) are essentially unknown but their vocalization frequencies overlap with anthropogenic sound sources. Synthetic audiograms were generated for a fin whale by applying finite element modeling tools to X-ray ...

Underwater Noise from Arctic Shipping: Impacts, Regulations and Recommendations [PDF]
, 2017 Marine mammals, including whales, walrus, and seals, rely heavily on sounds for survival. The Arctic soundscape has long been shaped by their clicks and calls.

The Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 5, Page 1788-1808, 1 March 2026.Abstract figure legend Unoccupied aerial vehicle (UAV)‐based photogrammetry provides measurements equivalent to traditional hand measurements in bottlenose dolphins. Mass estimates derived from UAV measurements closely match the true body mass of live individuals.
