Morphology and function of pinniped necks: The long and short of it

The Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 12, Page 3175-3185, December 2025.
Abstract Terrestrial vertebrates from at least 30 distinct lineages in both extinct and extant clades have returned to aquatic environments. With these transitions came numerous morphological adaptations to accommodate life in water. Relatively little attention has been paid to the cervical region when tracking this transition.
