   May 21, 2007 · The fossil record demonstrates that mammals re-entered the marine realm on at least seven separate occasions. Five of these clades are still extant, whereas two are extinct. This review presents a brief introduction to the phylogeny of each group of marine mammals, based on the latest studies using both morphological and molecular data.

   What is the phylogenetic history of marine mammals?

   • 1 Phylogenetic History: The Evolution of Marine Mammals Think for a moment about marine mammals: seals, walruses, dugongs and whales. Seals and walruses are primarily cold-water species that eat mostly fish and can spend part of their time on land (or ice). Dugongs and manatees are tropical herbivores and are entirely aquatic.

   How did marine mammals evolve?

   • The earliest representatives of each clade all show morphological features that indicate they were feeding while in the water, suggesting that feeding ecology is a key factor in the evolution of marine mammals. Abstract The fossil record demonstrates that mammals re-entered the marine realm on at least seven separate occasions.

   Do marine mammals have evolutionary histories?

   • Before comparing the evolutionary histories of each of the clades of marine mammals, it is worth emphasizing that the evolutionary histories outlined here are only the most basic and superficial sketches of the morphological changes that these groups have undergone.

   How many species of marine mammals are there?

   • There are approximately 126 extant species of marine mammals that are divided into five distinct groups: (1) pinnipeds: seals, sea lions, and walruses; (2) cetaceans: whales, dolphins, and porpoises; (3) sirenians: manatees and dugongs; (4) sea otters; and (5) polar bears ( Nelms et al. 2021).

   Dec 25, 2022 · It is a fascinating discourse on what lessons marine evolutionary biology can learn from “biological portuarization,” the repeated evolution of marine species in port‐ecosystems and how researchers could best make use of ports by treating them as giant—and strongly replicated—mesocosm experiments for supporting predictive marine ...

   A rigorous test for the evolution of marine mammals would use many more species and more characters. But the general result holds: mammals made the transition to water at least three times: in pinnipeds (seals and walruses), in whales, and also in sirenians (dugongs and manatees).

    Nov 15, 2019 · Marine Mammals. Randall W. Davis. 2419 Accesses. Abstract. Early Cetacea are classified as Archaeoceti (six families), and their fossils reveal the morphological and functional evolution of early, terrestrial Artiodactyla to fully aquatic Cetacea over 15 million years during the Eocene (~52 Mya).
