- W4249601148 abstract "This chapter discusses the brain of aquatic mammals. Adaptation to aquatic environments is a multiconvergent phenomenon seen in a number of mammalian groups and species. In toothed whales (odontocetes), both the body shape and the morphology of the sensory organs and brain intimate the selective pressures, which may have led to exclusively aquatic life. There are some obstacles, however, in understanding brain evolution in these animals. First, the scientific community are only marginally familiar with the brain morphology of very few species, and here we are familiar with mainly the bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus; discussed later). Second, the brain itself does not fossilize; only the outer shape can be studied in natural endocasts. Thus, the tracing of brain evolution in fossils is difficult and should be supplemented by phylogenetic reconstruction on the basis of extant relatives. Third, although the comparative consideration of analogous developmental trends (primates) may be useful for the understanding of brain evolution in highly encephalized aquatic mammals, the paucity of data often leads to an overestimation of these analogies. Most studies during the last decades have focused on the morphology and the potential physiology of the adult toothed whale brain and its functional systems. Concerning the development of the odontocete brain, the very few recent papers were dedicated to the striped dolphin (Stenella coeruleoalba), harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena), spotted dolphin (Stenella attenuata), narwhal (Monodon monoceros), and sperm whale." @default.
