Article Synopsis
- The Kekenodontidae are a group of late-surviving prehistoric whales known as archaeocetes from the Late Oligocene period found in the Southwest Pacific, including a newly identified species from New Zealand.
- Phylogenetic studies show that this new genus fits into the Kekenodontidae family and is closely related to another unnamed kekenodontid, suggesting they represent the last of the archaeocetes before future evolutionary developments occurred.
- The study highlights the unique dental characteristics of the juvenile holotype, which indicates the potential persistence of diphyodonty (having two sets of teeth) in these whales, a trait not observed in later cetaceans.
Kekenodontids are the only known archaeocetes (stem cetaceans) from the late Oligocene. They possess a unique combination of morphological features seen in both more primitive Eocene basilosaurid archaeocetes and more derived Neoceti (mysticetes and odontocetes). However, much remains unknown about the clade, including its acoustic biology.

However, the same does not apply in the case of calcium ion chelators. In this study, nitroindolinyl-caged BAPTA is found to be completely photostable, whereas nitroindolinyl-caged EDTA photolyses only when saturated with calcium ions.

Sample: 36 cadaveric gastrocnemius tendons from 18 adult dogs.
Procedures: Tendons were randomly assigned to 3 groups (12 tendons/group) and sharply transected and repaired by means of a core locking-loop suture with the knot at 1 of 3 locations (exposed on the external surface of the tendon, buried just underneath the external surface of the tendon, or buried internally between the apposed tendon ends).
Background: Information regarding clinical signs, assessment, treatment, and outcome in cats with hiatal hernia (HH) is limited.
Objectives: To characterize the clinical presentation of HH and medical and surgical outcomes in a cohort of affected cats.
Animals: Thirty-one client-owned cats with HH.
