    • Heterochronic maturation of anatomical plugs for protecting the airway in rorqual whales (Balaenopteridae) 

      Lauridsen, Henrik; Bie Thøstesen, Charlotte; Pedersen, Christina Carøe Ejlskov; Ringgaard, Steffen; Elstrup, Mette; Møller, Peter Daniel Rask; Johansson, Daniel Klingberg; Alstrup, Aage Kristian Olsen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-14)
      Recently, a unique mechanism for protecting the airway during lunge feeding was discovered in rorqual whales (Balaenopteridae). This mechanism is based on an oral plug structure in the soft palate with similarities in musculo-fatty composition to the nasal plugs protecting the respiratory tract of rorquals from water entry and barotrauma during diving. As a follow-up, we present here a ...

    • Retreat patterns and dynamics of the former Norske Trough ice stream (NE Greenland): An integrated geomorphological and sedimentological approach 

      López-Quirós, Adrián; Junna, Tuomas; Davies, Joanna; Andresen, Katrine J.; Nielsen, Tove; Haghipour, Negar; Wacker, Lukas; Alstrup, Aage Kristian Olsen; Munk, Ole Lajord; Rasmussen, Tine Lander; Pearce, Christof; Seidenkrantz, Marit Solveig (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-01-09)
      A better understanding of past extent and dynamics of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) is required to provide context for present-day observations, to constrain numerical climate models and to predict future scenarios of ice-sheet response to recent climatic change. The presence of a grounded GrIS on the NE Greenland shelf during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) is supported by high-resolution seismic ...
