Filter feeders persisted offshore and subsequently re-invaded coastal
habitats during the mid-Miocene Climatic Optimum, thus establishing the
modern, cosmopolitan mysticete fauna.

helps to explain and predict the origin of particular feeding styles, such
as baleen-assisted filter feeding in whales and raptorial ‘pierce’ feeding
in pinnipeds, and informs the structure of present and past ecosystems.

suggest an entirely new evolutionary scenario in which the transition from
raptorial to baleen-assisted filter feeding was mediated by suction,
thereby avoiding the problem of functional interference between teeth and
the baleen rack.
