Clues for the #evolution of #menopause in whales — and humans?

The evolution of menopause in #ToothedWhales https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07159-9
"menopause is something of an evolutionary blip. We are one of the few #animals to experience it... There are five species of toothed #whales that undergo menopause — short-finned #PilotWhales, #FalseKillerWhales, #KillerWhales, #narwhals and #belugas — making it the type of animal that is known to have evolved menopause most frequently."
These #Whales Still Use Their #VocalCords.
Unusual experiments on organs recovered from three carcasses suggest how #baleen whales call out at #sea. #Toothedwhales, like #spermwhales and #dolphins, use their larynges like a cork to seal their airways; they evolved a way to produce sounds in their nasal cavities instead. But #scientists suspected that filter-feeding #baleenwhales, including the musical #humpbacks and huge #bluewhales, still use their voice boxes. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/21/science/whale-song-voice-box.html?unlocked_article_code=1.XE0.Ohuo.tSXoT0veB5Lc&smid=url-share
Toothed whales catch food in the deep using vocal fry register

Toothed #whales use distinct vocal registers for #echolocation and communication https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adc9570
#ToothedWhales, like humans, have at least three #VoiceRegisters; the vocal fry register (also known as creaky voice, which produces the lowest tones), the chest register (which is our normal speaking voice) and the falsetto register (which produces even higher frequencies).
Inspired by a story we published last year about the first confirmed live sighting of Sato’s beaked whales, artist Rozi Hathaway created a comic version! She included info about Hal Sato, a Japanese researcher dedicated to locating these evasive whales.
