The distribution and size of ganglion cells in the retina of three retinal wholemounts of beluga whales (Delphinapterus leucas) were investigated. Cell sizes were from 12 to 48 #m with monomodal size distribution. Ganglion cells concentrated at two spots of high density in the nasal and temporal quadrants, 50 to 60% from the optic disk. Both areas appeared as vertically elongated spots. The mea...

We present a core programming language that supports writing well-founded structurally recursive functions using simultaneous pattern matching on contextual LF objects and contexts. The main technical tool is a coverage checking algorithm that also generates valid recursive calls. To establish consistency, we define a call-by-value small-step semantics and prove that every well-typed program te...

The beluga whale is a cetacean that inhabits arctic and subarctic regions, and is the only living member of the genus Delphinapterus. The genome of the beluga whale was determined using DNA sequencing approaches that employed both microfluidic partitioning library and non-partitioned library construction. The former allowed for the construction of a highly contiguous assembly with a scaffold N5...

Odontocete cetaceans use biosonar clicks to acoustically probe their aquatic environment with an aptitude unmatched by man-made sonar. A cornerstone of this ability is their use of short, broadband pulses produced in the region of the upper nasal passages. Here we provide empirical evidence that a beluga whale (Delphinapterus leucas) uses two signal generators simultaneously when echolocating. ...

For Canadian Arctic indigenous populations, marine mammal (MM) traditional foods (TFs) represent sources of both important nutrients and hazardous environmental contaminants. Food preparation is known to impact the nutrient and environmental contaminant content of processed items, yet the impacts of preparation on indigenous Arctic MM TFs remain poorly characterized. In order to determine how t...

Threats such as habitat loss, invasive species, and overexploitation cause species extinctions; however, stochastic processes can accelerate extinction rates as census sizes decline. Using molecular and ecological data, we explored the influence of these processes on the demography of a candidate species under the U.S. Endangered Species Act—the Atlantic sturgeon Acipenser oxyrinchus oxyrinchus...

The raw data from study of variation of D-loop mtDNA of white sturgeon Acipenser transmontanus (Mol. Biol. Evol. 1993. 10: 326–341) was re-analyzed. Re-calculated nucleotide substitution rate (μ) was 0.782–0.939 × 10 substitutions/site/year/lineage, which was 1.4 times less than the estimate given in above-mentioned publication. The use of new μ has led to an increase in estimates of long-term ...
