Eomysticetids represent a worldwide, short-lived radiation of archaic baleen-bearing
mysticetes that elucidate morphofunctional shifts and ontogenetic change amongst early …

The world's river dolphins (Inia, Pontoporia, Lipotes and Platanista) are among the least
known and most endangered of all cetaceans. The four extant genera inhabit geographically …

A cladistic analysis of 54 extant and extinct cetacean taxa scored for 304 morphological
characters supports a monophyletic Odontoceti, Mysticeti, Autoceta, and Cetacea. Forcing a …

Mammalodon colliveri is an unusual toothed archaic mysticete (Cetacea) from the Upper
Oligocene Jan Juc Formation of south-east Australia. The morphology of the holotype skull …

This paper describes the petrosal (periotic) and the inner ear of Herpetocetus sp., an archaic
mysticete whale (Mysticeti, Mammalia) from the Yorktown Formation (Pliocene) of North …

The Eocene history of cetacean evolution is now represented by the expansive fossil record
of archaeocetes elucidating major morphofunctional shifts relating to the land to sea …

The evolutional pathway of communication sounds (ie, whistles) in odontocetes is reviewed
using recent acoustic and phylogenetic studies. The common ancestor of Ziphiidae …

ABSTRACT The earliest Miocene (Aquitanian, 23–20 Ma) remains a critically under-
sampled 'dark age'in cetacean evolution. This is especially true of baleen whales …

The newly discovered Upper Miocene to Upper Pliocene San Gregorio assemblage of the
Purisima Formation in Central California has yielded a diverse collection of 34 marine …

A shallow-marine fossil biota was recovered from the Blue Bluff unit (formerly part of the
