ON PLESIOCETUS VAN BENEDEN, 1859 (MAMMALIA, CETACEA, MYSTICETI)
Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2021 A new analysis of the “type” Plesiocetus collection established by Van Beneden in the 19th century is performed to provide an updated taxonomy of this genus.

A Miocene breeding ground of an extinct baleen whale (Cetacea: Mysticeti) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Locating breeding sites is definitely a key to understanding the ecological requirements and maintaining the sustainability of populations/species. Here I re-examined published specimens of an extinct baleen whale, Parietobalaena yamaokai, from the lower

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 ...

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.

A right whale (Mysticeti, Balaenidae) from the Pleistocene of Taiwan [PDF]
Zoological Letters, 2019 Current patterns of biological distribution result from the deep past. Of particular interest, some closely related species appear at high latitudes of both hemispheres, but not in between, a pattern known as antitropical distribution.

A new member of fossil balaenid (Mysticeti, Cetacea) from the early Pliocene of Hokkaido, Japan [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 The family Balaenidae includes two genus and four extant species. Extinct balaenids are known for at least four genus and 10 species. The oldest known record of members of the Balaenidae is known from the early Miocene, but still need more early members ...

Assessing social behaviour between baleen whales (Mysticeti) and dolphins (Delphinidae)
Discover AnimalsThe dynamics and factors influencing interspecies interactions in the wild are not well understood, particularly among social marine animal species such as Mysticetes and Delphinadae.

A new species of Metopocetus (Cetacea, Mysticeti, Cetotheriidae) from the Late Miocene of the Netherlands [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 The family Cetotheriidae has played a major role in recent discussions of baleen whale phylogenetics. Within this group, the enigmatic, monotypic Metopocetus durinasus has been interpreted as transitional between herpetocetines and other members of the ...

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.
