Whale shark Rhincodon typus foraging on small schooling fish in the northern Mexican Caribbean

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The whale shark (Rhincodon typus) aggregates in the Mexican Caribbean from May to September to feed on mixed zooplankton patches and fish spawn. For the first time in this area, we present evidence of observations of whale sharks feeding on schools of small fish, two in 2017 (10 individuals per flight) and one in 2024 (19 individuals).

How is the third jaw joint in whales different? Diverse modes of articulation between the jaws of whales

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This study conducts the first comprehensive morphological investigation of the mandibular symphysis in whales. Using gross anatomical observation and CT cross‐sectional data, we describe diverse joint morphologies across 74 extant and fossil cetacean taxa. Toothed whales exhibit unfused, partially fused, or fully fused symphyses.
