Evolution of cetaceans: The cetaceans (whales, dolphins and porpoises) are descendants of land-living mammals, and remnants of their terrestrial origins can be found in the fact that they must breathe air from the surface; in the bones of their fins, which look ... [100%] 2023-06-10
Cetacean: Mysticeti Odontoceti Archaeoceti (extinct) (see text for families) Cetacea (L. cetus, whale) is an order of aquatic, largely marine mammals, including whales, dolphins and porpoises. Cetaceans have a nearly hairless, fusiform (spindle-shaped) body with anterior limbs in the form ... [100%] 2023-02-04

Cetacean microbiome: The cetacean microbiome is the group of communities of microorganisms that reside within whales. Microbiomes play an important role in individual health and ecology and in particular in the discovery of different microbiomes in gut, skin and nose permitted to ...

Cetacean morbillivirus: Cetacean morbillivirus (CeMV) is a virus that infects marine mammals in the order Cetacea, which includes dolphins, porpoises and whales. Three genetically distinct strains have been identified: dolphin morbillivirus (DMV), pilot whale morbillivirus (PWMV) and porpoise morbillivirus (PMV).

Cetacean surfacing behaviour: Cetacean surfacing behaviour is a grouping of movement types that cetaceans make at the water's surface in addition to breathing. Cetaceans have developed and use surface behaviours for many functions such as display, feeding and communication.

Cetacean strandings in Tasmania: Cetacean strandings in Tasmania occur for a number of reasons, with Tasmania considered a "'hotspot" for the event. Between 1825 and 1986, 213 stranding events had been recorded, involving 22 species, and over 3000 individuals. [50%] 2024-01-21 [Whales] [Marine fauna of Tasmania]...
