No references found | A nonparametric Mann Whitney-U test was used to determine if the rates of prevalence differed between Mysticetes and Odontocetes and a nonparametric Kruskal-Wallace test was used to determine if the prevalence rates differed significantly among species. Among marine mammals, odontocetes (toothed whales), including beluga, may be at the greatest risk of contaminant effects because these animals are top predators that accumulate contaminants to a higher degree than do mysticetes (baleen whales) (O'Shea and Brownell 1994). Paleontologists have long thought that Mysticetes and Odontocetes represent separate evolutionary lines that split from a group of ancestral toothed whales some 40 million years ago. |
