DOI: 10.1111/mms.12344
Abstract: Toothed whales use a pneumatic sound generator to produce echolocation and communication sounds. Increasing hydrostatic pressure at depth influences the amplitude and duration of calls but not of echolocation clicks. Here we test the hypothesis… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/vetsci9080424
Abstract: Simple Summary Diving implies cardiovascular adaptations in marine mammals. The work aimed to analyze the aortic wall in nine cetacean species with deep diving habits belonging to four families. We hypothesize that variations in the… read more here.
