I'm interested to know how much food type/food collection strategy has
played in the evolutionary development of reproductive and behavioural
strategies in whale and basking sharks. Are there any parallels between
these planktoners and blue and fin whales. The obvious is size and
mouth  structure alterations. Have planktoners aways been the largest
individuals in their respective groups versus "top-end" carnivors like
white sharks and sperm whales.
