A newly discovered species of living baleen whale

Shiro Wada, +2 more
- 20 Nov 2003 - 
TL;DR: A new species of Balaenoptera is described, characterized by its unique cranial morphology, its small number of baleen plates, and by its distant molecular relationships with all of its congeners.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Comprehensive and Validated Molecular Taxonomy of Beaked Whales, Family Ziphiidae

Merel L. Dalebout, +4 more
- 01 Nov 2004 - 
TL;DR: It is suggested that a molecular taxonomy should consider the following components: comprehensiveness, validation, locus sensitivity, genetic distinctiveness and exclusivity, concordance, and universal accessibility and curation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Geographical distribution of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and organochlorines in small cetaceans from Asian waters.

Natsuko Kajiwara, +10 more
- 01 Jun 2006 - 
TL;DR: The blubber of cetaceans found stranded along the coasts of Japan, Hong Kong, the Philippines and India during the period from 1990 to 2001 were employed for chemical analysis to understand the present status of contamination and the specific accumulation of PBDEs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Balaenoptera omurai is a newly discovered baleen whale that represents an ancient evolutionary lineage

Takeshi Sasaki, +7 more
- 01 Oct 2006 - 
TL;DR: The data suggest that B. omurai evolved as an ancient independent lineage that diverged much earlier than B. brydei and B. borealis, which were previously believed to be closely related to B. edeni.
Journal ArticleDOI

Time Trends and Transplacental Transfer of Perfluorinated Compounds in Melon-Headed Whales Stranded Along the Japanese Coast in 1982, 2001/2002, and 2006

Kimberly Hart, +6 more
- 30 Aug 2008 - 
TL;DR: Analysis of paired samples of mother-fetus demonstrated that the transplacental transfer rates of PFCs were higher than those for PCBs and PBDEs.
