Scientists have cited the following figures. In the North Atlantic (to which is the fullest array of data) the frequency of songs whales declined over the period 1960-2009 year with 22 hertz to little more than 18 hertz.

Biomaterial placed in culture media, created by substances circulating embryonic blood (in the future the researchers plan to replace their synthetic analogs).

According MEMBRANA.ru from exile to Gizmag, as a result of prolonged incubation of cells received a full sample of muscle tissue, however, until nayapetytnishyy in appearance.
