Mammal Study (2019)
Studies on odontocetes (e.g., porpoises) have revealed that these animals may adaptively use vision. The present study examined the contributions of vision to the approaching behavior of the harbor porpoise…

If harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) are impaired in their foraging ability because they need to move away from anthropogenic sound sources, their fitness may be reduced. Understanding how much harbor…
Detection of the time of arrival of a harbour porpoise click at several synchronized broadband hydrophones, attached to a drifter, provides a method for locating porpoise and assessing any interactions…
...Harbor porpoises have been reported as an uncommon species in Kotzebue Sound during the ice-free months of June through October (Frost & Lowry, 1990), but their presence in Kotzebue Sound…
The most common cetacean in the North Sea is the harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena). Underwater noise is increasingly recognized as a source of impact on the marine environment and seismic…
Over the last 25 years, the harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) has made a significant return to the Southern Bight of the North Sea and the English Channel due to a…
Breathing rates are often collected both in the wild and in captivity to inform on cetaceans' internal state. However, few studies have investigated the effect of various factors on this…
Exploitation of renewable energy from offshore wind farms is substantially increasing worldwide. The majority of wind turbines are bottom mounted, causing high levels of impulsive noise during construction. To prevent…
Echolocation signals emitted by odontocetes can be roughly classified into three broad categories: broadband echolocation signals, narrowband high-frequency echolocation signals, and frequency modulated clicks. Previous measurements of broadband echolocation signal…
...This short note documents instances of prey handling and consumption of large fish species along the West Coast of the United States (U.S.), including the Salish Sea (inland waters of…
