Journal of Cetacean Research and Management (2007)
To gain insight into the time allocation and diving behaviour of harbour porpoises in Danish and adjacent waters, satellite linked dive recorders were mounted on 14 harbour porpoises. The animals…
A visual and acoustic survey for harbour porpoises off North-West Africa: Further evidence of a discrete population
Boisseau, O.; Matthews, J.; Gillespie, D.; Lacey, C.; Moscrop, A.; El Ouamari, N.
African Journal of Marine Science (2007)
The distribution of harbour porpoises Phocoena phocoena in southern Europe and along the Atlantic African coast is poorly understood, with tentative assessments suggesting a discrete West African population with a…
Mass-dependent predation risk and lethal dolphin-porpoise interactions
MacLeod, R.; MacLeod, C. D.; Learmonth, J. A.; Jepson, P. D.; Reid, R. J.; Deaville, R.; Pierce, G. J.
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences (2007)
In small birds, mass-dependent predation risk (MDPR) is known to make the trade-off between avoiding starvation and avoiding predation dependent on individual mass. This occurs because carrying increased fat reserves…
Long-term feeding ecology and habitat use in harbour porpoises Phocoena phocoena from Scandinavian waters inferred from trace elements and stable isotopes
Fontaine, Michaël C; Tolley, Krystal A; Siebert, Ursula; Gobert, Sylvie; Lepoint, Gilles; Bouquegneau, Jean-Marie; Das, Krishna
BMC Ecol (2007)
We investigated the feeding ecology and habitat use of 32 harbour porpoises by-caught in 4 localities along the Scandinavian coast from the North Sea to the Barents Sea using time-integrative…
Echolocation signals of wild harbour porpoises, Phocoena phocoena
Villadsgaard, A.; Wahlberg, M.; Tougaard, J.
Journal of Experimental Biology (2007)
Field recordings of harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) were made in the inner Danish waters with a vertical array of three or four hydrophones. The back-calculated source level ranged from 178…
Climate change causing starvation in harbour porpoises?
Thompson, Paul; Ingram, Simon; Lonergan, Mike; Northridge, Simon; Hall, Ailsa; Wilson, Ben
Biology Letters (2007)
(...) Recently, MacLeod et al. (2007) analysed data from harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) stranded on Scottish North Sea coasts in March–May of 1993–2003. Comparing 2002–2003 data against baseline data from…
Harbor porpoise clicks do not have conditionally minimum time bandwidth product
Beedholm, Kristian
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America (2008)
The hypothesis that odontocete clicks have minimal time frequency product given their delay and center frequency values is tested by using an in-phase averaged porpoise click compared with a pure…
Low-frequency components in harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) clicks: communication signal, by-products, or artifacts?
Hansen, M.; Wahlberg, M.; Madsen, P. T.
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America (2008)
Underwater sound signals for biosonar and communication normally have different source properties to serve the purposes of generating efficient acoustic backscatter from small objects or conveying information to conspecifics. Harbor…
Effect of pingers on harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) bycatch in the US Northeast gillnet fishery
Palka, D. L.; Rossman, M. C.; VanAtten, A. S.; Orphanides, C. D.
Journal of Cetacean Research and Management (2008)
Harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) bycatch in the US Northeast gillnet fishery is managed under the Harbour Porpoise Take Reduction Plan (HPTRP), which was implemented on 1 January 1999. The HPTRP…
Species occurrence and distributional ecology of nearshore cetaceans in the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh, with abundance estimates for Irrawaddy dolphins Orcaella brevirostris and finless porpoises Neophocaena phocaenoides
Smith, B. D.; Ahmed, B.; Mowgli, R. M.; Strindberg, S.
Journal of Cetacean Research and Management (2008)
A vessel-based line-transect survey conducted during February 2004 along 1,018km of systematic trackline in the nearshore waters of Bangladesh resulted in 111 ‘on-effort’ cetacean sightings including: Irrawaddy dolphins, Orcaella brevirostris…
