Marine Environmental Research (1988)
Persistent organochlorines (PCBs and p,p′-DDE) in the bodies of dalli- and truei-type Dall's porpoises (Phocoenoides dalli) from the Bering Sea and the northwestern North Pacific were used as chemical tracers…
How do odontocetes perceive their own sounds?
Behrmann, G.
European Research on Cetaceans (1988)
(...) The free-swinging bullae of odontocetes are very massive, their specific weight being twice that of the other skull bones. This feature led Yamada (1953) to his theory that the…
Harbor porpoise, Phocoena phocoena, abundance estimation for California, Oregon, and Washington: I. Ship surveys
Barlow, J.
Fishery Bulletin (1988)
The density and total population size of harbor porpoise along the coasts of California, Oregon, and Washington are estimated from ship surveys using line transect methods. Surveys were completed between…
The peripheral nerve ends in the tongue of the harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena (Linnaeus, 1758)
Behrmann, G.
Aquatic Mammals (1988)
(...) Tongues (Lingua) of dead harbour porpoises are much smaller than those of comparable terrestrial mammals (Boenninghaus, 1903). With the exception of a small area at the tip of the…

Respiratory arrhythmia in the hearts of harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena)
Kastelein, R. A.; Meijler, F. L.
Aquatic Mammals (1989)
The heart rates of 3 Harbour porpoises (recorded for 26 days) showed individual variation. Electrocardiograms of two of these animals, made while they were on land, showed respiratory arrhythmia. The…
Postmortem findings in stranded harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena, L. 1758) in The Netherlands from 23rd March 1983 to 25th June 1986
van Nie, C. J.
Aquatic Mammals (1989)
The post-mortem findings in 38 stranded harbour porpoises during the period 23rd March 1983 to 25th June 1986 in The Netherlands results in a general view about the parasitological status…
The olfactory regions in the nose of the harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena (Linnaeus, 1758)
Behrmann, G.
Aquatic Mammals (1989)
(...) The anatomy of the odontocete brains indicates that they can taste but cannot smell. Apparently, when the blowhole migrated to the top of the head, the neural pathways for…
Sexual dimorphism and development of external features in Dall’s porpoise (Phocoenoides dalli)
Jefferson, T.A.
Master's Thesis - San Jose State University (1989)
Examination of 95 Dall's porpoise specimens incidentally caught in gillnets, and four collected as beach strandings, indicate that there is significant sexual dimorphism and developmental variation in several aspects of…
