"Geographic variation of Burmeister's porpoise, Phocoena spinipinnis (Burmeister, 1865) (Cetacea: Phocoenidae), on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of South America" (Thesis content in English) A total of 142 skulls from…
The reproduction and reproductive seasonality of 365 Danish harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena (L.)) incidentally caught in various gill nets or stranded, was studied. The animals were collected from all Danish…
Aerial surveys covering 5117 linear kilometers were conducted at 91 and 183 m altitude under optimal sighting conditions in an area north of Fyn, Denmark, and in the Bay of…
1. Robust estimates of the density or abundance of cetaceans are required to support a wide range of ecological studies and inform management decisions. Considerable effort has been put into…
Single individuals of 2 little-known cetacean species, Mesoplodon hectori and Phocoena dioptrica, stranded and died on the coast of Argentina (Buenos Aires and Chubut provinces, respectively) and were studied for…
Sandeels are known to be negatively affected by climate change in a number of ways. This study investigated whether these changes are affecting the harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena), a species…
(...) Based on the evidence of a link between the likelihood of starvation and a lack of sandeels in the diet of porpoises in the Scottish North Sea in spring,…
(...) 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…
In recent decades, grey seals (Halichoerus grypus) and harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) have become more numerous along the coasts of Brittany in northwestern France. Their interactions with fisheries are of…
Loudness perception by human infants and animals can be studied under the assumption that sounds of equal loudness elicit equal reaction times (RTs). Simple RTs of a harbour porpoise to…
