Balaenidae as a monophyletic group that is the sister group to Neobalaenidae. Balaenids are large whales, with an average adult length of 15 to 17 metres (45–50...

Morenocetus is an extinct genus of primitive balaenid from the Early Miocene (Burdigalian and Colhuehuapian in the SALMA classification) Gaiman Formation...

Balaenella is an extinct genus of balaenid from the early Pliocene of the vicinity of Antwerp, Belgium. Its type species is Balaena brachyrhynchus. A cladistic...

four families: rorquals (balaenopterids), cetotheriids, right whales (balaenids), and grey whales (eschrichtiids). The main difference between each family...

pleats to expand their mouths to take in food and sieve out the water. Balaenids (right whales and bowhead whales) have massive heads that can make up...

confirmed that pygmy right whales are more closely related to rorquals than to balaenid right whales, consistent with a close relationship with the cetotheres...

of rorquals appears to be more energy efficient than the ram feeding of balaenid whales; the latter technique is used with less dense and patchy plankton...

Peripolocetus is a genus of balaenid baleen whale from the middle Miocene of Kern County, California. Like other non-balaenopteroid thalassotheres, Peripolocetus...
