Relationships of cochlear coiling shape and hearing frequencies in cetaceans, and the occurrence of infrasonic hearing in Miocene Mysticeti [PDF]
Fossil Record, 2018 Baleen whales (Mysticeti) are known to use low frequencies (LF; 200 Hz and below) and infrasound (< 20 Hz) for communication. The lowest hearing limits of toothed whales (Odontoceti), which are able to produce ultrasound (> 20 kHz), reach low ...

Cetotheriidae (Cetacea, Mysticeti) from the Collections of the National Geological Museum, Bucharest (Romania) [PDF]
Zoodiversity, 2023 Cetacean fossil remains attributed to Cetotheriidae are certainly not a novelty in the fossil record of the Carpathian Foreland or Foredeep, several sites being mentioned; however there remains much material in institutional collections that can still ...

Scientific Reports, 2017 Cetaceans, a group of mammals adapted to the aquatic environment that descended from terrestrial artiodactyls, exhibit tremendous interspecific differences in a number of phenotypes, including feeding behavior, such as filter feeding in the Mysticeti vs ...

A large Late Miocene cetotheriid (Cetacea, Mysticeti) from the Netherlands clarifies the status of Tranatocetidae [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Cetotheriidae are a group of small baleen whales (Mysticeti) that evolved alongside modern rorquals. They once enjoyed a nearly global distribution, but then largely went extinct during the Plio-Pleistocene.

Fin Whale (<i>Balaenoptera physalus</i>) Diel Dive Patterns in a Shallow Fragmented Foraging Habitat. [PDF]
Ecol EvolUsing 27 high‐resolution biologging tags deployed on fin whales in a shallow inner‐shelf habitat along the US east coast, this study found that the whales spent more than 67% of their time within the draft depths of large commercial vessels. Feeding occurred primarily during the day, while whales remained very shallow at night during resting and ...

Navigating Cetacean Mitochondrial Genome Data: Identifying Coverage and Deficiencies in Public Repositories. [PDF]
Mol Ecol ResourABSTRACT Genetic reference databases underpin a wide range of molecular approaches used to study cetacean biodiversity, including environmental DNA (eDNA), yet their reliability depends critically on data completeness, taxonomic accuracy, and metadata quality.

Influence of Solvent Lipid Extraction on Tissue-Specific Carbon Isotopes. [PDF]
Ecol EvolTo assess the impact of solvents on δ13C, we used a standard lipid extraction protocol on four different pure proteins and humpback whale blubber, a very lipid‐rich tissue. The results showed that the solvents did not have a significant effect on δ13C and δ15N of pure proteins as values largely remained within 0.5‰ of unextracted samples, which is ...
