Adaptive evolution of the osmoregulation-related genes in cetaceans during secondary aquatic adaptation

BACKGROUND: Osmoregulation was a primary challenge for cetaceans during the evolutionary transition from a terrestrial to a mainly hyperosmotic environment. Several physiological mechanisms have been suggested to maintain the water and salt balance in cetaceans, but their genetic and evolutionary ba...
