Accelerated evolution and diversifying selection drove the adaptation of cetacean bone microstructure
BACKGROUND: The transition from land to sea by the ancestor of cetaceans approximately 50 million years ago was an incredible evolutionary event that led to a series of morphological, physiological, and behavioral adaptations. During this transition, bone microstructure evolved from the typical terr...
