Whales span a range of symphyseal morphologies, varying in degree of mobility (fusion) and length (elongation). In this paper, we examine the evolution of these traits across whale phylogeny and geologic time.

Whales provide an opportunity for studying the morphology of the symphysis as it relates to feeding in an aquatic environment with clear departures from the ancestral feeding mode (i.e. mastication).
