Borealodon osedax, a new stem mysticete (Mammalia, Cetacea) from the Oligocene of Washington State and its implications for fossil whale-fall communities [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 Baleen whales (mysticetes) lack teeth as adults and instead filter feed using keratinous baleen plates. They do not echolocate with ultrasonic frequencies like toothed whales but are instead known for infrasonic acoustics.

Baleen boom and bust: a synthesis of mysticete phylogeny, diversity and disparity [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2015 A new, fully dated total-evidence phylogeny of baleen whales (Mysticeti) shows that evolutionary phases correlate strongly with Caenozoic modernization of the oceans and climates, implying a major role for bottom-up physical drivers.

The cochlea of the enigmatic pygmy right whale Caperea marginata informs mysticete phylogeny
Journal of morphology, 2017 The pygmy right whale, Caperea marginata, is the least understood extant baleen whale (Cetacea, Mysticeti). Knowledge on its basic anatomy, ecology, and fossil record is limited, even though its singular position outside both balaenids (right whales) and

Oil adsorption does not structurally or functionally alter whale baleen [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 Mysticete whales filter small prey from seawater using baleen, a unique keratinous oral tissue that grows from the palate, from which it hangs in hundreds of serial plates.
