title: Dynamic filtration in baleen whales: recent discoveries and emerging trends
abstract: Recent findings have greatly improved our understanding of mysticete oral filtration, and have upended the traditional view of baleen filtration as a simple process. Flow tank experiments, telemetric tag deployment on whales, and other lab and field methods continue to yield new data and ideas. These suggest that several mechanisms arose from ecological, morphological, and biomechanical adaptations facilitating the evolution of extreme body size in Mysticeti. Multiple lines of evidence strongly
