Vertebral bone microarchitecture and osteocyte characteristics of three toothed whale species with varying diving behaviour
Abstract Although vertebral bone microarchitecture has been studied in various tetrapods, limited quantitative data are available on the structural and compositional changes of vertebrae in marine mammals. Whales exhibit exceptional swimming and diving behaviour, and they may not be immune to diving...
