Early development and orientation of the acoustic funnel provides insight into the evolution of sound reception pathways in cetaceans.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Whales receive underwater sounds through a fundamentally different mechanism than their close terrestrial relatives. Instead of hearing through the ear canal, cetaceans hear through specialized fatty tissues leading to an evolutionarily novel feature: an

Study of Non-Linearities in Humpback Whale Song Units

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Unique in mammals, the vocal generator of mysticete species comprises membranes covering the two arytenoid cartilages that vibrate as the airflow passes through the trachea from the lungs to the laryngeal sac.

Fatty sound reception in minke whales: the lipid composition and potential function of fats associated with mysticete ears

, 2013
Cetaceans possess highly derived auditory systems because a conventional pinna and air-filled ear canal are ineffective at collecting and guiding sound towards the middle ears in an aquatic environment.
