Sternal anatomy reflects feeding style in mysticete cetaceans

Journal of mammalian evolution
Baleen whales (mysticetes) underwent a profound transition from raptorial to filter feeding early in their history, allowing the exploitation of new food sources and environments.

Respiration Patterns of Southern Right Whale (Eubalaena australis) Mothers and Calves in Southern Brazil

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Respiration is a key physiological process in cetaceans, closely linked to energy expenditure, behavior, and physiological state. Using drone‐based surveys, we quantified respiration patterns of southern right whale (Eubalaena australis) mother–calf pairs in southern Brazil across two reproductive seasons (2020–2021).

Strontium in fin whale baleen: A potential tracer of mysticete movements across the oceans?

Science of the Total Environment, 2019
Strontium is a metal broadly distributed in oceanic waters, where its concentrations follow gradients mainly driven by oceanographic and biological factors.

Characterizing Habitat Suitability of Long‐Finned Pilot Whales in a Key Conservation Region of the Southern Iberian Peninsula Using Satellite Tracking Data

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The waters surrounding the southern Iberian Peninsula are a key conservation area for the long‐finned pilot whale (Globicephala melas melas), particularly in the pelagic regions of the Strait of Gibraltar, the Alboran Sea, and the Gulf of Vera, where upwelling, complex bathymetry and frontal dynamics enhance productivity and prey availability,

Functional models from limited data: A parametric and multimodal approach to anatomy and 3D kinematics of feeding in basking sharks (Cetorhinus maximus)

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2262-2285, September 2026.
Abstract Basking sharks, Cetorhinus maximus (Gunnerus, Brugden [Squalus maximus], Det Kongelige Norske Videnskabers Selskabs Skrifter, 1765, vol. 3, pp. 33–49), feed by gaping their mouths and gill slits, greatly reorienting their cranial skeletons to filter food from water.

From Problem Taxa to Problem Solver: A New Miocene Family, Tranatocetidae, Brings Perspective on Baleen Whale Evolution. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Miocene baleen whales were highly diverse and included tens of genera. However, their taxonomy and phylogeny, as well as relationships with living whales, are still a subject of controversy.

Decadal Bowhead Whale Baleen Stable Isotope and Hormone Chronologies (1985–2010) Provide Insight Into Arctic Ecosystem Change

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
Long‐term chronologies constructed from individual bowhead baleen plates reveal stable isotope declines consistent with regional Arctic food web or productivity changes superimposed on global anthropogenic C and N inputs, while relatively stable hormone concentrations over the same period provide no evidence of a concomitant increase in physiological ...
