THE OLDEST ESCHRICHTIID MYSTICETE AND A NEW MORPHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSIS OF ESCHRICHTIIDAE (GRAY WHALES)
Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2006 A close inspection of the dentary of Eschrichtius robustus (Cetacea, Mysticeti, Eschrichtiidae) revealed a peculiar organization of the coronoid region.

Mysticeti: Reaching the Limits of Latency with Uncertified DAGs
, 2023 We introduce Mysticeti-C, the first DAG-based Byzantine consensus protocol to achieve the lower bounds of latency of 3 message rounds. Since Mysticeti-C is built over DAGs it also achieves high resource efficiency and censorship resistance. Mysticeti-C achieves this latency improvement by avoiding explicit certification of the DAG blocks and by ...

Revision of “Balaena” belgica reveals a new right whale species, the possible ancestry of the northern right whale, Eubalaena glacialis, and the ages of divergence for the living right whale species [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 In 1941, Abel established Balaena belgica based on a series of fused cervical vertebrae and citing other cranial fragments from the late Neogene of the Antwerp harbor (northern Belgium).

Like phoenix from the ashes: How modern baleen whales arose from a fossil “dark age” [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2019 The evolution of baleen whales (Mysticeti), the largest animals on Earth, was punctuated by a pivotal turnover event. Following their emergence around 36 million years (Ma), mysticetes diversified into a disparate range of toothed and toothless species ...

Influence of Alignment on the mtDNA Phylogeny of Cetacea: Questionable Support for a Mysticeti/Physeteroidea Clade [PDF]
Systematic Biology, 1998 Cetacea has traditionally been divided into Odontoceti, the toothed whales, and Mysticeti, the baleen whales. These groups have been considered monophy? letic, although their origins and age have been historically debated. Recently, Mil? inkovitch et al. (1993, 1994) reported a revised phylogeny for Cetacea, based upon phylogenetic analysis of mitochon?

Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Isotopic analyses of the incrementally growing baleen in Mysticeti have been used to learn about their feeding and movement patterns. Using methods previously applied to Pacific minke whales, stable δ15N and δ13C isotope values were measured along the ...
