Flow-dependent porosity and other biomechanical properties of mysticete baleen [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2013
SUMMARY Despite its vital function in a highly dynamic environment, baleen is typically assumed to be a static material. Its biomechanical and material properties have not previously been explored. Thus I tested sections of baleen from bowhead whales, Balaena mysticetus, and humpback whales, Megaptera novaeangliae, alone or in groups ...

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

A Deep Learning Framework for Classifying Sounds of Mysticete Whales [PDF]

, 2017
This paper addresses a problem belonging to the domain of whale audio processing, more specifically the automatic classification of sounds produced by the Mysticete species. The specific task is quite challenging given the vast repertoire of the involved species, the adverse acoustic conditions, and the nearly non-existent prior scientific work.

Geology and palaeontology of a temporary exposure of the late Miocene Deurne sand in Antwerpen (N.Belgium) [PDF]

, 2004
A section of 6.10 m through the Deurne Sand Member (Diest Formation, Late Miocene) in Antwerpen (Antwerp) is described, which has been observed during the construction works of a new hospital building in the southern part of Deurne, and here called ...

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.
