Synapsids and sensitivity: Broad survey of tetrapod trigeminal canal morphology supports an evolutionary trend of increasing facial tactile specialization in the mammal lineage

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 4, Page 864-911, April 2026.
Abstract The trigeminus nerve (cranial nerve V) is a large and significant conduit of sensory information from the face to the brain, with its three branches extending over the head to innervate a wide variety of integumentary sensory receptors, primarily tactile.

STABLE ISOTOPES ANALYSIS ON BALEEN WHALES (SUBORDER: MYSTICETI): A REVIEW UNTIL 2017

open access: yesBoletim do Laboratório de Hidrobiologia, 2020
ABSTRACT Stable Isotope Analysis (SIA) has provided information on ocean productivity, and ecological aspects related to whales’ habitat use and feeding ecology, stock structure, physiology, and evolution. We reviewed published studies using SIA on whales worldwide from November 1979 to June 2017.

open access: yes, 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).

PHYLOGENETIC IMPLICATIONS OF SKULL STRUCTURE AND FEEDING BEHAVIOR IN BALAENOPTERIDS (CETACEA, MYSTICETI) [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Mammalogy, 2005
Abstract Balaenopteridae actively feed by engulfment. They swim rapidly at their prey (40–50 km/h), with their mouth open and their lower jaw pulled wide open at a 90° angle. Their mouth and ventral pouch engulf up to 60 m3 of water, then the mouth closes and food is swallowed after the expulsion of water through the baleen.

Characteristics of order Cetacea (whales) and causes of their vulnerability in the Adriatic Sea [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Kitovi (Cetacea) su jedini sisavci koji su prilagodili život u potpunosti u vodi. Ima ih više od 80 vrsta, a neke nastanjuju osim mora i rijeke. Dijele se na dva podreda: kitove zubane (Odontoceti) i usane (Mysticeti).

Unveiling Patterns in Cetacean Strandings Along Southern Atlantic Iberia: Temporal and Spatial Trends, Seasonality, and Causes of Death

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT We compiled 46 years of cetacean strandings in the Algarve, Portugal, describing temporal–spatial patterns, size–sex structure, and causes of death (COD). We analyzed national records and years with a dedicated regional stranding network (SN) to assess annual/seasonal trends, spatial hotspots, and compare biometrics and COD.
