Dear MARMAM readers, I am a postgraduate student doing a project on baleen whale biomechanics. As part of the project, I am studying the morphological differences between mysticete and odontocete cetaceans. I am missing data in the overlapping range (mysticetes smaller than a minke whale, and odontocetes larger than killer whales), and would appreciate if anyone could tell me where I could find more information on these species. I would be particularly interested in body mass and length, and fluke span data for specific individuals. Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards, Bernardo P.S.: Information has so far been found in: Lockyer (1976), Lockyer & Waters (1986), Vikingsson et al. (1988), Bose et al. (1990), Vikingsson (1990, 1995, unpublished), Tolley et al. (1995), Rohr et al. (1998), Fish & Rohr (1999), Palacios (1999), Zylber et al. (2002), Palacios et al. (2004), Sanvicente-Anorve et al. (2004). I can provide a full list of references upon request. ------------------------------------------ Bernardo Garcia Carreras Postgraduate Researcher (Biomimetics) Mechanical Engineering, University of Bath ------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ MARMAM mailing list [email protected] https://lists.uvic.ca/mailman/listinfo/marmam
