Global concern over the possible deleterious effects of noise on marine organisms was
catalyzed when toothed whales stranded and died in the presence of high intensity sound …

We propose an asynchronous acoustic chirp slope keying to map short bit sequences on
single or multiple bands without preamble or error correction coding on the physical layer …

Cetaceans possess highly derived auditory systems adapted for underwater hearing.
Odontoceti (toothed whales) are thought to receive sound through specialized fat bodies that …

The adaptation of cetaceans to a fully aquatic lifestyle represents one of the most dramatic
transformations in mammalian evolutionary history. Two of the most salient features of …

Limited visual perception in aquatic environments has driven the evolution of diverse
sensory modalities in aquatic mammals. Dolphins largely use echolocation for prey capture …

The braincase of a polycotylid plesiosaur referable to Dolichorhynchops from the Niobrara
Formation (Santonian to the earliest Campanian) in Manitoba, Canada, is described. The …

Background Odontocetes (toothed whales) are the most species-rich marine mammal
lineage. The catalyst for their evolutionary success is echolocation-a form of biological sonar …

The family Remingtonocetidae is a basal family of Eocene cetaceans only known from near
shore marine environments of India and Pakistan. We describe a new skull for …

Odontocete mandibles serve multiple functions, including feeding and hearing. We consider
that these two major functions have their primary influence in different parts of the …
