Cultural traditions and the evolution of reproductive isolation: ecological speciation in killer whales?
R Riesch, LG Barrett-Lennard, GM Ellis… - Biological Journal of …, 2012 - academic.oup.com
Human evolution has clearly been shaped by gene–culture interactions, and there is
growing evidence that similar processes also act on populations of non-human animals …

A behavioural framework for the evolution of feeding in predatory aquatic mammals
Extant aquatic mammals are a key component of aquatic ecosystems. Their morphology,
ecological role and behaviour are, to a large extent, shaped by their feeding ecology …

Why whales are big but not bigger: physiological drivers and ecological limits in the age of ocean giants
The largest animals are marine filter feeders, but the underlying mechanism of their large
size remains unexplained. We measured feeding performance and prey quality to …
