Evidence for convergent evolution of ultrasonic hearing in toothed whales (Cetacea: Odontoceti) [PDF]

open access: yesBiology Letters, 2019
Toothed whales (Cetacea: Odontoceti) are the most diverse group of modern cetaceans, originating during the Eocene/Oligocene transition approximately 38 Ma. All extant odontocetes echolocate; a single origin for this behaviour is supported by a unique facial source for ultrasonic vocalizations and a cochlea adapted for hearing the ...

A toothless dwarf dolphin (Odontoceti: Xenorophidae) points to explosive feeding diversification of modern whales (Neoceti)

open access: yesProceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2017
Toothed whales (Odontoceti) are adapted for catching prey underwater and possess some of the most derived feeding specializations of all mammals, including the loss of milk teeth (monophyodonty), high tooth count (polydonty), and the loss of

A new early Miocene archaic dolphin (Odontoceti, Cetacea) from New Zealand, and brain evolution of the Odontoceti

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, 2022
ABSTRACT The major increase in cetacean brain size happened in the middle Miocene, about 15 million years ago, and involved the modern oceanic dolphin lineage Delphinoidea. In this paper, we describe a new specimen of an archaic dolphin, aff.

Understanding causes of morbidity and mortality in Southern Hemisphere small Odontoceti: a scoping review

open access: yesMammal Review
This review identifies key causes of morbidity and mortality in Southern Hemisphere small Odontoceti, highlighting significant anthropogenic threats and the enhanced need for conservation strategies. Key findings include high rates of entanglements and a diverse range of infectious pathogens. Abstract Marine mammals serve as sentinels for environmental
