Genomic and structural investigation on dolphin morbillivirus (DMV) in Mediterranean fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus). [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Dolphin morbillivirus (DMV) has been deemed as one of the most relevant threats for fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus) being responsible for a mortality outbreak in the Mediterranean Sea in the last years.

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, EarlyView.
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.

Helmeted hornbill cranial kinesis: Balancing mobility and stability in a high‐impact joint

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Prokinesis—in which a craniofacial joint allows the rostrum to move relative to the braincase—is thought to confer diverse advantages in birds, mostly for feeding. A craniofacial joint would, however, be a weak link if cranial stability is important. Paradoxically, we have identified a craniofacial joint in helmeted hornbills (Rhinoplax vigil),

Whale of a tale [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of the Rheumatic Diseases, 2005
Spondyloarthropathy is the term applied to a form of arthritis with sentinel alteration of the spine, in the form of syndesmophytes and zygapophyseal joint erosions.1–3 Although a single zygapophyseal joint can be damaged by pyogenic or rarely by a granulomatous infection, the only known cause of multiple zygapophyseal joint erosions is ...

Whole-genome sequencing of the blue whale and other rorquals finds signatures for introgressive gene flow

open access: yesScience Advances, 2018
Network-like evolution suggests sympatric speciation of baleen whales. Reconstructing the evolution of baleen whales (Mysticeti) has been problematic because morphological and genetic analyses have produced different scenarios.
