Infrasonic and ultrasonic hearing evolved after the emergence of modern whales
MJ Mourlam, MJ Orliac - Current Biology, 2017 - cell.com
Mysticeti (baleen whales) and Odontoceti (toothed whales) today greatly differ in their
hearing abilities: Mysticeti are presumed to be sensitive to infrasonic noises [1–3], whereas …

Interordinal gene capture, the phylogenetic position of Steller's sea cow based on molecular and morphological data, and the macroevolutionary history of Sirenia
Abstract The recently extinct (ca. 1768) Steller's sea cow (Hydrodamalis gigas) was a large,
edentulous North Pacific sirenian. The phylogenetic affinities of this taxon to other members …
