Molecular evolution of toothed whale genes reveals adaptations to echolocating in different environments
Abstract Background Echolocation was a key development in toothed whale evolution, enabling their adaptation and diversification across various environments. Previous bioacoustic and morphological studies suggest that environmental pressures have influenced the evolution of echolocation in toothed w...
