Echolocation, the main sensory modality of odontocetes and microbats, has mostly been studied using single receivers. Such a recording setup is sufficient to study signal parameters like pulse interval, inter…
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…

(...) In the present study, we investigated whether this documented conflict between bottlenose dolphins and harbor porpoises in California affected harbor porpoise behavior within the nearshore environment where habitat overlap…
Information on the habitat use of the critically endangered Yangtze finless porpoise (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis asiaeorientalis) is critical for its conservation. The diel biosonar behavior of the porpoise in the port…
The Salish Sea, an area of complex oceanography and bathymetry, supports a number of apex cetacean species. In the last decade, anomalous sightings of cetaceans have become more frequent and…
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…
Despite no obvious barriers to gene flow in the marine realm, environmental variation and ecological specializations can lead to genetic differentiation in highly mobile predators. Here, we investigated the genetic…

A total of 56 vaquitas (Phocoena sinus) were examined to evaluate their sexual dimorphism and isometric and/or allometric growth in 35 external characteristics. Absolute and relative (to total length) measurements…
