Whales? Whippos? Yet another new ref

[christian farrell kammerer <cfkammer@midway.uchicago.edu>]

It would seem that archaeocetes have pulled off a much-coveted trifecta
this week, getting front page coverage on three major journals. The third,
which I don't think has been mentioned onlist yet, being:

Gatesy, J. & M. O'Leary. 2001. Deciphering whale origins with molecules
and fossils. TRENDS in Ecology & Evolution (TREE). Vol. 16,
No. 10. pp. 562-570.

This is a review paper, and as such it's somewhat of a shame that
it couldn't incorporate all the data from the new Science and
Nature papers. Still, it is very even-handed with the morphological and
molecular data, and to keep this somewhat on-topic for the dinolist,
tackles some interesting questions of determining likely integument
through phylogeny--something more common of late in discussions of
theropods.
