| Mutation Description |
"Further mutational evidence revealed that in Odontoceti (toothed whales and dolphins), all Delphinoidea, including Delphinidae (dolphins, e.g. Tursiops truncatus, Orcinus orca), Phocoenidae (porpoises, e.g. Phocoena phocoena), and Monodontidae (narwhal, Monodon monoceros, and
beluga whale, Delphinapterus leucas), exhibited a conserved stop codon mutation in exon 1 (Fig. 1), with the exception of O. orca, which displays an arginine codon in the same position (CGA)." |

"Thus, it is plausible to hypothesize that, in these species, CORT inactivation is related with changes in circadian rhythmicity, affecting sleep/vigilance behaviours, body temperature maintenance and/or activity patterns." |
