   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.

   When did mammalian evolution start?

   • This is no great surprise, because a great deal of mammalian evolution has been linked to changes in feeding ecology. It is also interesting to note that the clades of marine mammals seem to have originated at two discrete times, Cetacea and Sirenia during the early Eocene, and Desmostylia and Pinnipedia during the Oligocene.

   Marine Mammal Diversity. Living groups of marine mammals vary greatly in their diversity. Rice (1998; Table 1 therein) reports that living Cetacea include 83 species in 39 genera; living Pinnipedia include 36 species in 21 genera; and Recent Sirenia include 5 species in 3 genera. Since then, several new spe-cies of cetaceans have been described ...
