Biology of the toothed whales, suborder Odontoceti [PDF]

, 2018
Kitovi, red Cetacea, dijele se na podred Mysticeti, kitovi usani i Odontoceti, kitovi zubani ovisno o građi usnog aparata. Kitovi usani su pelagične životinje koje se hrane planktonom i ribom.

Relationships among Odontoceti and Mysticeti, between Neoceti and Archaeoceti, and higher level taxa of Whippomorpha (Cetacea + Hippopotamidae)

, 2016
Note that within Cetacea, the only ghost lineage (any length of time missing fossils as inferred from the phylogeny) is a short gap at the origin of Odontoceti. There is a large ghost lineage between Hippopotamidae and the base of Cetacea.

Do Marine Mammals Diversify More Slowly Than Non‐Marine Mammals?

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Species richness is generally lower in marine than in terrestrial ecosystems, but the reasons behind this disparity remain unclear. This study examines whether marine mammals diversify at a slower pace than their non‐marine counterparts, aiming to shed light on the factors explaining potential diversification differences among them ...

Relationships of cochlear coiling shape and hearing frequencies in cetaceans, and the occurrence of infrasonic hearing in Miocene Mysticeti [PDF]

Fossil Record, 2018
Baleen whales (Mysticeti) are known to use low frequencies (LF; 200 Hz and below) and infrasound (< 20 Hz) for communication. The lowest hearing limits of toothed whales (Odontoceti), which are able to produce ultrasound (> 20 kHz), reach low ...

Avances en la investigación científica de cetáceos en América Central durante la década 2011-2021

Revista Minerva, 2022
Los cetáceos son mamíferos marinos que habitan en todos los océanos de nuestro planeta. América Central posee una ubicación privilegiada, un clima tropical y costas tanto en el océano Pacífico como en el mar Caribe.

A Detailed Characterization of the Whistle Repertoire of Fraser's Dolphins (Lagenodelphis hosei) From the Lesser Antilles

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Fraser's dolphin (Lagenodelphis hosei) remains poorly studied due to its elusive behavior, rarity, and preference for deep offshore habitats. While dolphins use frequency‐modulated whistles for communication, detailed acoustic descriptions exist for only a few species.

A NEW RECORD OF PHYSETEROIDEA FROM THE UPPER MIOCENE OF THE PIETRA LECCESE (SOUTHERN ITALY): SYSTEMATICS, PALEOECOLOGY AND TAPHONOMY OF A FOSSIL MACRORAPTORIAL SPERM WHALE

Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2020
We report on a partial skeleton of sperm whale (Cetacea, Odontoceti, Physeteroidea) from the Pietra leccese, a Miocene limestone widely exposed in the Salento Peninsula (southern Italy).

The larger the cetacean, the more stationary their sleep? Thermoregulatory constraints on the sleep behaviour of captive cetaceans

Journal of Zoology, Volume 327, Issue 4, Page 376-385, December 2025.
Cetaceans face thermal challenges when sleeping underwater. Our study found that smaller body size correlated with more swim sleep and less stationary sleep, while the opposite was true for larger cetaceans. Additionally, bottlenose dolphins increased swim sleep at lower ambient temperatures, suggesting a sleep strategy influenced by body size and ...

Cetáceos fósiles (Mammalia, Odontoceti, Eurhinodelphionoidea, Inioidea, Physeterioidea) de la Formación Curré, Mioceno Superior (Hemphilliano Temprano Tardío) de Costa Rica Fossil Cetacea (Mammalia, Odontoceti, Eurhinodelphinoidea, Inioidea, Physeterioidea) of the Curré Formation, Upper Miocene (Early-Late Hemphillian) of Costa Rica

Revista Geológica de América Central, 2012
Cuatro nuevos registros de Odontoceti son descritos para el Mioceno Superior del sur de América Central; estos hallazgos sugieren una fuerte conexión marina entre la costa del Atlántico Norte de Europa, la Planicie Costera de América del Norte con el ...

Leveraging Synteny to Generate Reference Genomes for Conservation: Assembling the Genomes of Hector's and Māui Dolphins

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 7, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Escalating concern regarding the impacts of reduced genetic diversity on the conservation of endangered species has spurred efforts to obtain chromosome‐level genomes through consortia such as the Vertebrate Genomes Project. However, assembling reference genomes for many threatened species remains challenging due to difficulties obtaining ...
