Anatomical, ontogenetic, and genomic homologies guide reconstructions of the teeth-to-baleen transition in mysticete whales
Abstract The transition in Mysticeti (Cetacea) from capture of individual prey using teeth to
bulk filtering batches of small prey using baleen ranks among the most dramatic …

Cenozoic megatooth sharks occupied extremely high trophic positions
Trophic position is a fundamental characteristic of animals, yet it is unknown in many extinct
species. In this study, we ground-truth the 15N/14N ratio of enameloid-bound organic matter …

Neurovascular evidence for a co-occurrence of teeth and baleen in an Oligocene mysticete and the transition to filter-feeding in baleen whales
Extant baleen whales (Mysticeti) have a deciduous foetal dentition, but are edentulous at
birth. Fossils reveal that the earliest mysticetes possessed an adult dentition. Aetiocetids, a …
