Predation by killer whales (Orcinus orca) and the evolution of whistle loss and narrow-band high frequency clicks in odontocetes
Morisaka, T.; Connor, R. C.
Journal of Evolutionary Biology (2007)
A disparate selection of toothed whales (Odontoceti) share striking features of their acoustic repertoires including the absence of whistles and high frequency but weak (low peak-to-peak source level) clicks that…

Marine mammal sensory systems
Wartzok, D.; Ketten, D. R.
Biology of Marine Mammals (1999)
(...) In this chapter, we discuss marine mammal audition, vision, chemoreception, tactile sensation, and magnetic detection. We begin with an overview of the basic aspects of sensory receptor systems, and…
Blubber thickness in harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena)
Kastelein, R. A.; van der Sijs, S. J.; Staal, C.; Nieuwstraten, S. H.
The Biology of the Harbour Porpoise (1997)
The blubber thicknesses of 5 male and one female harbour porpoises were measured ultrasonically in 9 positions on the body over various periods of time. Most animals were immature and…
The status and distribution of cetaceans in the Black Sea and Mediterranean Sea
Reeves, R.; Notarbartolo di Sciara, G.
(2006)
(...) The Black Sea harbour porpoise, P. p. relicta, qualifies for listing as Endangered (EN) based on criteria A1d and A4c,d,e. The basis for inferences and suspicions leading to that…
Cetacean distribution in the southern Black Sea: An acoustic approach
Saydam, Gülce
Master's Thesis - Middle East Technical University (2015)
Large numbers of small cetaceans (common dolphin, harbor porpoises and bottlenose dolphins) were hunted in the Black Sea until the hunting of cetaceans was banned in Turkey in 1983. Even…
