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 ...

Diversity, 2023 We provide a new study of previously published eurhinodelphinid materials from the early Miocene of Piedmont (NW Italy) based on a new preparation of the fossil specimens. We studied specimens previously assigned to Tursiops miocaenus and Dalpiazella sp.

Enamel ultrastructure in fossil cetaceans (Cetacea: Archaeoceti and Odontoceti).
PLoS ONE, 2015 The transition from terrestrial ancestry to a fully pelagic life profoundly altered the body systems of cetaceans, with extreme morphological changes in the skull and feeding apparatus. The Oligocene Epoch was a crucial time in the evolution of cetaceans

Evolution of cranial telescoping in echolocating whales (Cetacea: Odontoceti)
Evolution, 2018 Odontocete (echolocating whale) skulls exhibit extreme posterior displacement and overlapping of facial bones, here referred to as retrograde cranial telescoping. To examine retrograde cranial telescoping across 40 million years of whale evolution, we collected 3D scans of whale skulls spanning odontocete evolution.

Hystrix, the Italian Journal of Mammalogy, 1992 <strong>Abstract</strong> The sighting of four couples of Ziphiidae in the Central Tyrrhenian Sea has been reported. Some considerations about geographic distribution of such cetaceans in the Italian seas are set out below.

EARLY DELPHINIDA (CETACEA, ODONTOCETI) FROM THE MIOCENE OF THE SOUTHERN NORTH SEA BASIN
Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e StratigrafiaThe earliest delphinidans (Cetacea, Odontoceti, Delphinida) first appear in the fossil record in the upper Oligocene, but are predominantly known from the Miocene. During the excavation of a series of construction pits in Antwerp (northern Belgium), two

Variation in whale (Cetacea) inner ear anatomy reveals the early evolution of "specialized" high-frequency hearing sensitivity. [PDF]
J AnatOur findings support sensitivity to low‐frequency sound in the archaeocete Zygorhiza kochii and an early toothed mysticete cf. Aetiocetus. Narrow‐band high‐frequency hearing was present in Oligocene odontocetes and stem delphinidans, suggesting it evolved earlier than expected and could represent an ancestral trait rather than a recent innovation ...
