FROM PROBLEM TAXA TO PROBLEM SOLVER: A NEW MIOCENE FAMILY, TRANATOCETIDAE, BRINGS PERSPECTIVE ON BALEEN WHALE EVOLUTION.

From Problem Taxa to Problem Solver: A New Miocene Family, Tranatocetidae, Brings Perspective on Baleen Whale Evolution.

Miocene baleen whales were highly diverse and included tens of genera.However, their taxonomy and phylogeny, as well as relationships with living whales, are still a subject of controversy.Here, "Mesocetus" argillarius, a poorly known specimen from Denmark, is redescribed with a focus on Fisher the cranial anatomy.It was found to represent not only

Comparison and Validation of the Ionospheric Climatological Morphology of FY3C/GNOS with COSMIC during the Recent Low Solar Activity Period

With the accumulation of the ionospheric radio occultation (IRO) data observed by Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) occultation sounder (GNOS) onboard FengYun-3C (FY3C) satellite, it is possible to use GNOS IRO data for ionospheric climatology research.Therefore, this work aims to validate the feasibility of FY3C/GNOS IRO products in climat
