Low-frequency signaling behavior in mysticete whales
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1997Mysticete whales produce a variety of low-frequency sounds. These range from the highly labile song of the humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) to the infrasonic sounds of the blue (Balaenoptera musculus) and fin (Balaenoptera physalus) whales. Biological functions of these sounds remain largely untested, the most common being that sounds are a male

Phylogeny of mysticete whales based on mitochondrial and nuclear data
Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2004Mysticetes or baleen whales are comprised of four groups: Eschrichtiidae, Neobalaenidae, Balaenidae, and Balaenopteridae. Various phylogenetic hypotheses among these four groups have been proposed. Previous studies have not satisfactorily determined relationships among the four groups with a high degree of confidence.

Niche Partitioning in Oligocene Toothed Mysticetes (Mysticeti: Aetiocetidae)
Journal of Mammalian Evolution, 2015Niche partitioning has long been considered to be a fundamental part of speciation and difference in body size is a straightforward proxy for ecology and niche partitioning. Here we report a new aetiocetid specimen from the upper part of Morawan Formation (Oligocene; late Chattian, ~26–24 Ma), Ashoro, Hokkaido, Japan.

Acoustic Behavior of Mysticete Whales
1990There are eleven species of mysticetes (baleen whales), and sounds have been recorded from all but the pygmy right whale (Caperea marginata). The greatest amount of acoustic information has been gathered for the bowhead (Balaena mysticetus), gray (Eschrichtius robustus), humpback (Megaptera novaeancrliae), and right (Eubalaena australis and E.glacialis)

Appendix Mysticete. And Odontocete—Whales Of Thenorth Atlantic
2008This appendix section of the book titled Monstrous Fishes and the Mead-Dark Sea presents the length, weight, group size and the distribution of Mysticete and Odontocete whales of North Atlantic. Whales, dolphins and porpoise belong to the Class Mammalia, Order Cetacea, with two remarkably varied suborders, namely Odontocete, the toothed whales and ...
