This project focuses on the development of cetaceans, studying their skull evolution through advanced imaging techniques. By comparing modern whales with their terrestrial ancestors, the researcher aims to understand how developmental changes influenced their unique adaptations for aquatic life.
Cetaceans (baleen whales and toothed whales) are a distinctive group of mammals that has evolved unique adaptations to live in water.
Their impressive fossil record traces their evolution from their terrestrial ancestors (Artiodactyla), to the present aquatic forms.
All living cetaceans have flippers instead of limbs, possess a blowhole at the top of the head instead of an anteriorly-positioned nose.
They have also developed a characteristic head shape connected to their feeding mode: while bale…
