Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Living baleen whales, or Mysticeti, lack teeth and instead feed using keratinous baleen plates to sieve prey-laden water. This feeding strategy is profoundly different from that of their toothed ancestors, which processed prey using the differentiated ...

Endangered Species Research, 2013 Marine construction works often lead to temporary increases in vessel traffic, which, in addition to the construction activity itself, contribute to underwater ambient noise in the affected area and increase the risk of vessel collision for marine ...

A new Early Oligocene toothed ‘baleen’ whale (Mysticeti: Aetiocetidae) from western North America: one of the oldest and the smallest [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2015 Archaic toothed mysticetes represent the evolutionary transition from raptorial to bulk filter feeding in baleen whales. Aetiocetids, in particular, preserve an intermediate morphological stage in which teeth functioned alongside a precursor of baleen ...

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 4, July‐August 2026.Species‐specific eDNA qPCR assays were developed and validated for blue, fin, and sei whales and were tested alongside visual surveys in the northwest Atlantic. Results show strong concordance for fin whales, demonstrating eDNA's value for enhancing offshore monitoring of at‐risk large whales.

Baleen Hydrodynamics and Morphology of Cross-Flow Filtration in Balaenid Whale Suspension Feeding. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The traditional view of mysticete feeding involves static baleen directly sieving particles from seawater using a simple, dead-end flow-through filtration mechanism.

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.ABSTRACT Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) from breeding stock A migrate annually between Antarctic feeding grounds (~65° S) and Brazilian breeding areas (~17° S). Traditionally considered to fast during migration, recent feeding observations and increased strandings along southeastern Brazil (~23° S) raise questions about possible shifts in ...

Ecological Competition Between Fin Whales, Blue Whales, and Their Hybrids
Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.ABSTRACT Hybridization among cetaceans has been documented across multiple species. Within the Balaenopteridae family, most documented cases involve blue and fin whales, raising concerns about impacts on species recovery, particularly that of the highly endangered blue whale.
