DiversityCoronodon includes species of basal toothed mysticetes that were initially interpreted as engaging in raptorial feeding and dental filtration. Here, the feeding of this extinct genus is revisited based on recently described specimens and species ...

Revision of "Balaena" belgica reveals a new right whale species, the possible ancestry of the northern right whale, Eubalaena glacialis, and the ages of divergence for the living right whale species [PDF]
, 2017 In 1941, Abel established Balaena belgica based on a series of fused cervical vertebrae and citing other cranial fragments from the late Neogene of the Antwerp harbor (northern Belgium).

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Cetaceans are indicators of ocean health, influence marine ecosystem dynamics and hold socio‐economic importance for coastal whaling communities. Yet whale–whaler relationships remain poorly understood and are increasingly compromised under the triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution. Here, we briefly outline

Abstract Mysticetes produce a great variety of sounds ranging in frequency from as low as 10 Hz to as high as 20 kHz. They have been classed based on their spectrographic features as tonal, frequency-modulated, amplitude-modulated, and pulsive. They have often been categorized based on what they sound like to the human ear (e.g., moan, grunt,

Calcium Isotopes Correlate With Baleen Whale Feeding Ecology
Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Baleen whales are among the largest animals ever and engineer marine ecosystems by transporting nutrients both vertically through the water column and across vast oceanic distances. Hidden underwater, their feeding habits often remain unseen and hence must be studied indirectly based on stomach contents and stable isotopes.

Movement EcologyBackground The life cycle of most baleen whales involves annual migrations from low-latitude breeding grounds to high latitude feeding grounds. In most species, these migrations are traditionally considered to be carried out according to information ...
