    Complete Inactivation of Sebum-Producing Genes Parallels the Loss of Sebaceous Glands in Cetacea 
    Lopes-Marques, Mónica; Machado, André M; Alves, Luís Q; Fonseca, Miguel M; Barbosa, Susana; Sinding, Mikkel-Holger S; Rasmussen, Marianne; Iversen, Maria Refsgaard; Frost Bertelsen, Mads; Campos, Paula F; da Fonseca, Rute; Ruivo, Raquel; Castro, L Filipe C (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2019-03-20)
    Genomes are dynamic biological units, with processes of gene duplication and loss triggering evolutionary novelty. The mammalian skin provides a remarkable case study on the occurrence of adaptive morphological innovations. Skin sebaceous glands (SGs), ...

    Northern bottlenose whales in a pristine environment respond strongly to close and distant navy sonar signals 
    Wensveen, Paul; Isojunno, Saana; Hansen, Rune R.; von Benda-Beckmann, Alexander M.; Kleivane, Lars; van IJsselmuide, Sander; Lam, Frans-Peter A.; Kvadsheim, Petter H.; DeRuiter, Stacy L.; Curé, Charlotte; Narazaki, Tomoko; Tyack, Peter L.; Miller, Patrick J. O. (The Royal Society, 2019-03-20)
    Impact assessments for sonar operations typically use received sound levels to predict behavioural disturbance in marine mammals. However, there are indications that cetaceans may learn to associate exposures from distant sound sources with lower ...

    Prey of killer whales (Orcinus orca) in Iceland 
    Samarra, Filipa; Bassoi, Manuela; Béesau, Julie; Elíasdóttir, Margrét Ó.; Gunnarsson, Karl; Mrusczok, Marie-Thérèse; Rasmussen, Marianne; Rempel, Jonathan N.; Þorvaldsson, Baldur; Víkingsson, Gísli (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2018-12-12)
    Killer whales have a cosmopolitan distribution and as a species are generalists, feeding on a variety of prey. However, local populations tend to specialise on specific prey types. In Icelandic waters, killer whales are generally associated with herring ...
