What's the difference between cetacean and cete?

Cetacean


Definition:

  • (n.) One of the Cetacea.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Wildlife campaigners say they oppose the keeping of cetaceans in captivity because these animals tend to have poor health and suffer stress-related illnesses as a result.
  • (2) We offer anatomical evidence for a two layer arterio-venous countercurrent heat exchanger at the cetacean testis.
  • (3) The Institute of Cetacean Research, a quasi-governmental body that oversees the hunts, had hoped to use sales from the meat to cover the costs of the whaling fleet's expeditions, she said.
  • (4) At the same time, cetaceans are under threat from a variety of pressures including direct and indirect takes, pollution, and competition for habitat and prey.
  • (5) Gross compositional data for milk samples of Tursiops truncatus, Sousa plumbea and Delphinus delphis are presented and compared with existing cetacean milk values.
  • (6) "We are totally against [weakening the original resolution]," said Aimee Leslie, WWF's global cetacean and marine turtle manager.
  • (7) This unit, which characterizes all delphinids, shows stringent hybridization homology with a 1,740-bp repeat that is characteristic of all other cetacean families.
  • (8) The Institute of Cetacean Research blamed low demand on the complicated auction procedure and reluctance among food suppliers to attract criticism from anti-whaling groups such as Sea Shepherd .
  • (9) "For 2013, the catch limits allow the slaughter of 16,655 small cetaceans, but our analysis of available scientific data raises very serious concerns about the sustainability of these hunts."
  • (10) The lipid components of porpoise lipokeratinocytes appear to subserve not only barrier function in a hypertonic milieu, but also underlie the unique buoyancy, streamlining, insulatory, and caloric properties exhibited as adaptations to the cetacean habitat.
  • (11) Parasites from 5 species of cetaceans are reported along with their possible role as a contributing factor in stranding behavior.
  • (12) Pontoporia is less specialized in its shoulder anatomy that most delphinid cetaceans, and shares several characteristics with some mysticetes.
  • (13) The tandemly organized common cetacean component, which comprises a large portion of all cetacean--both odontocete (toothed whale) and mysticete (whalebone whale)--genomes has a repeat length of 1,760 bp and the three clones analysed showed a high degree of conformity.
  • (14) Seventeen specimens representing nine cetacean genera (Delphinus, Stenella, Tursiops, Grampus, Delphinapterus, Globicephala, Kogia, Mesoplodon, and Phocoena) were studied post mortem.
  • (15) The sequence difference between human and the whale and human and the cow was at the same level, indicating that the rate of evolution of the mtDNA rRNA genes is about the same in artiodactyls and cetaceans.
  • (16) As air breathers that are inseparably tied to the surface, cetaceans are highly trackable; they may thus help in the monitoring of habitat degradation and other long-term ecologic change.
  • (17) Our observations indicate that these RIAs can reliably detect serum FSH and LH from bottlenosed dolphins and represent the first quantitation of these hormones in cetaceans.
  • (18) We sequenced the mitochondrial DNA D-loop regions from two cetacean species and compared these with the published D-loop sequences of several other mammalian species, including one other cetacean.
  • (19) The predominant cell of cetacean epidermis, not found in normal terrestrial mammals, is a lipokeratinocyte, which elaborates not only keratin filaments, but also two types of lipid organelles: first, lamellar bodies, morphologically identical to those of terrestrial mammals, are elaborated in great abundance in all suprabasal epidermal layers, forming intercellular lipid bilayers in the stratum corneum interstices: and second, non-membrane-bounded droplets appear and persist in all epidermal layers.
  • (20) I do not believe that scientific studies of whales (or any cetacean species) must be lethal in order to be effective for management and conservation of the species.

Cete


Definition:

  • (n.) One of the Cetacea, or collectively, the Cetacea.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Immuno-thin layer chromatography (ITLC) and competition assays with purified neutral GSL standards, free sugars, and synthetic neoglycoproteins showed mAb 8281 to be strongly reactive with LacCer, GalCer and Gal-beta-O-(CH3)2S(CH3)2-CONH-(Gal-beta-O-CETE) linked to bovine serum albumin (BSA).
  • (2) with three viruses of the tick-borne encephalitis complex (TBE) as follows: Turkish tick-borne encephalitis virus (TTE), Louping-ill virus and Central European tick-borne encephalitis virus (CETE).
  • (3) TTE proved to be more pathogenic for monkeys than the other two members of the complex, whilst CETE was the least pathogenic.
  • (4) Sheep were immunised with 11-deoxycortisol-21-hemisuccinate-bovine serum albumin (11-deoxycortisol-21-HS-BSA) or with 17-hydroxyprogesterone-7 alpha-carboxyethyl thioether-keyhole limpet haemocyanin (17-OHP-7 alpha-CETE-KLH) or with 17-OHP-3-(O-carboxymethyl)oxime-KLH (17-OHP-3-CMO-KLH).
  • (5) Sheep immunised with 17-OHP-7 alpha-CETE-KLH had antisera titres of from 1:102,000 to 1:180,000 and only 17-hydroxypregnenolone cross-reacted significantly (10-20%).
