Knowledge on its basic anatomy, ecology, and fossil record is limited, even though its singular position outside both balaenids (right whales) and balaenopteroids (rorquals + grey whales) gives <i>Caperea</i> a pivotal role in mysticete evolution. Recent investigations of the cetacean cochlea have provided new insights into sensory capabilities and phylogeny. Here, we extend this advance to <i>Caperea</i> by describing, for the first time, the inner ear of this enigmatic species. The cochlea is large and appears to be sensitive to low-frequency sounds, but its hearing limit is relatively high. The presence of a well-developed tympanal recess links <i>Caperea</i> with cetotheriids and balaenopteroids, rather than balaenids, contrary to the traditional morphological view of a close <i>Caperea</i>-balaenid relationship. Nevertheless, a broader sample of the cetotheriid <i>Herpetocetus</i> demonstrates that the presence of a tympanal recess can be variable at the specific and possibly even the intraspecific level.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"The cochlea of the enigmatic pygmy right whale <i>Caperea marginata</i> informs mysticete phylogeny","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-04-17 01:32:17.601697","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":"Cetacea; hearing; Plicogulae; tympanal recess","OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2017,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2019-07-10","DateCreate":"2018-03-12","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000401168000006","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0,"DOI":"10.1002/jmor.20674"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":293721,"PubliDate":2017,"Pagination":"801-809","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"278","Issue":"6","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":43085,"SerRR":"Journal of Morphology.
