Dear colleagues,

please find below the link to our recently published paper on a comprehensive framework of aquatic mammal feeding and its evolution, published in reply to acommment by Kienle et al. (in the same issue). 

In our reply, we show how exaptations and constraints have guided the evolution of aquatic mammal feeding, provide details on the relevance of semi-aquatic feeding, and propose a revised overview and classification of capture behaviours.

Kind regards,
