Biological Conservation (1994)
A global review of mortality of porpoises in gillnet fisheries indicates that individuals of all six species become entangled and die in gillnets. Harbor porpoises Phocoena phocoena are taken throughout…
Phylogenetic relationships among the true porpoises (Cetacea: Phocoenidae)
Rosel, P; Haygood, M; Perrin, W
Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution (1995)
Portions of the cytochrome b gene and control region of the mitochondrial DNA molecule were sequenced to investigate systematic relationships among the six extant species of true porpoises, (Cetacea: Phocoenidae).…
On the biology of the spectacled porpoise, Australophocaena dioptrica
Goodall, R.N.P.; Schiavini, A.C.M.
Report of the International Whaling Commission (1995)
Published descriptions of the biology of the spectacled porpoise, Australophocaena dioptrica, are reviewed and compared to new material collected in Tierra del Fuego and Chubut, Argentina. Although over 173 cranial…

Marine Mammals of the World: Systematics and Distribution (1998)
(page 121) (...) Miller (1925) and Kellogg (1928) included the true porpoises in the family Delphinidae and did not even grant them subfamily status. However, Slijper (1936) and Fraser 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.…
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…
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…
Review of small cetaceans: Distribution, behaviour, migration and threats
Culik, Boris

This report summarises the available knowledge on odontocete (toothed whale) distribution, behaviour, migration and threats and was compiled for the Bonn Secretariat of CMS.
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,…
