Journal of Parasitology (2010)
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…
Isotopic assessment of prey and habitat preferences of a cetacean community in the southwestern South Atlantic Ocean
Riccialdelli, L.; Newsome, S. D.; Fogel, M. L.; Goodall, R. N. P.
Marine Ecology Progress Series (2010)
We used stable carbon (δ13 C) and nitrogen (δ15 N) isotope analysis to investigate the trophic ecology of 8 small cetacean species of the southwestern South Atlantic Ocean: 6 delphinids…

Van Waerebeek, K.; Leaper, R.; Baker, A. N.; Papastavrou, V.; Thiele, D.; Findlay, K.; Donovan, G.; Ensor, P.
Journal of Cetacean Research and Management (2010)
Twenty-eight odontocete species were identified as occupying sub-Antarctic and Antarctic habitat covered by the 1994 IWC-established Southern Ocean Sanctuary. Toothed whales evidently play an important part in the Antarctic polar…
Parasites in stranded cetaceans of Patagonia
Berón-Vera, Bárbara; Crespo, Enrique A.; Raga, Juan A.
Journal of Parasitology (2008)
There is an increasing interest in parasites of marine mammals of Argentina. Here, we examined several poorly known cetaceans, i.e., 2 spectacled porpoises and 1 Burmeister's porpoise (Phocoenidae), and 1…

SEKIGUCHI, KEIKO; OLAVARRÍA, CARLOS; MORSE, LAURA; OLSON, PAULA; ENSOR, PAUL; MATSUOKA, KOJI; PITMAN, ROBERT; FINDLAY, KEN; GORTER, UKO
Journal of Cetacean Research and Management (2006)
Most knowledge on the biology and ecology of the spectacled porpoise (Phocoena dioptrica) has been obtained from stranded specimens, with less than fifteen confirmed sightings in the sea. Published photographs…
The phylogenetic relationships and biogeography of true porpoises (Mammalia: Phocoenidae) based on morphological data
Fajardo-Mellor, Liliana; Berta, Annalisa; Brownell, Robert L.; Boy, Claudia C.; Goodall, R. Natalie P.
Marine Mammal Sci (2006)
Prior studies of phylogenetic relationships among phocoenids based on morphology and molecular sequence data conflict and yield unresolved relationships among species. This study evaluates a comprehensive set of cranial, postcranial,…

Culik, Boris
(2004)
This report summarises the available knowledge on odontocete (toothed whale) distribution, behaviour, migration and threats and was compiled for the Bonn Secretariat of CMS.
Northernmost records of the spectacled porpoise, Layard’s beaked whale, Commerson’s dolphin and Peale’s dolphin in the southwestern Atlantic ocean
Pinedo, Maria C.; Barreto, Andre S.; Lammardo, Mauricio P.; Andrade, Ana L. V.; Geracitano, Laura
Aquatic Mammals (2002)
The northernmost records of four cold-water cetacean species in the southwestern Atlantic are presented: the spectacled porpoise (Phocoena dioptrica), Layard's beaked whale (Mesoplodon layardii), Commerson's dolphin (Cephalorhynchus commersonii), and Peale's…
First records of the spectacled porpoise Phocoena dioptrica in continental Australian waters
Evans, Karen; Kemper, Catherine; Hill, Mark
Marine Mammal Sci (2001)
(...) The spectacled porpoise, Phocoena dioptrica (Lahille, 1912), is a little-known species found in cool temperate, sub- and low-antarctic waters of the Southern Hemisphere (Jefferson et al. 1993, Goodall and…
Osteological variation in the spectacled porpoise (Phocoena dioptrica)
Perrin, William F.; Goodall, R. Natalie P.; Cozzuol, Mario A.
Journal of Cetacean Research and Management (2000)
Cranial and post-cranial variation is described for a large series of specimens of spectacled porpoise from Argentina and compared with that for specimens from other areas of the Southern Hemisphere.…
