In December 2005 construction work was started to replace a harbor wall in Kerteminde harbor, Denmark. A total of 175 wooden piles were piled into the ground at the waters…
Changes in click source levels with distance to targets: Studies of free-ranging white-beaked dolphins Lagenorhynchus albirostris and captive harbour porpoises Phocoena phocoena
Atem, Ana Carolina G.; Rasmussen, Marianne H.; Wahlberg, Magnus; Petersen, Hans C.; Miller, Lee A.;
Bioacoustics (2009)
Probably all odontocetes use echolocation for spatial orientation and detection of prey. We used a four hydrophone “Y” array to record the high frequency clicks from free-ranging White-beaked Dolphins Lagenorhynchus…
Cytoarchitectonic studies of the cerebral cortex of the harbour porpoise, Phocoena phocoena (Linne, 1758)
Behrmann, G.
Investigations on Cetacea (1993)
The olfactory system of the harbour porpoise is reduced but has a function. The visual system of the harbour porpoise is badly developed, and its inferior to the one of…
Near field, interference, far field and rostrum structure in the echolocation system of cetaceans
Pilleri, G.; Gihr, M.; Kraus, C.
Investigations on Cetacea (1983)
This monograph may be regarded as an important supplement to the book »Echolocation in Whales and Dolphins» by Purves and Pilleri, published by the Academic Press, London, 1983. It contains…

On the behaviour and study of the harbour porpoise, Phocoena phocoena, in the wild
Amundin, M.; Amundin, B.
Investigations on Cetacea (1974)
A pilot study has been carried out in order to obtain information on the observational problems encountered in studying the harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) in the wild. It is concluded…
Burmeister’s porpoise Phocoena spinipinnis Burmeister, 1865, off the Punta del Diablo, Uruguay
Pilleri, G.; Gihr, M.
Investigations on Cetacea (1972)
Information is communicated on the occurrence of Phoconea spinipinnis off the Uruguayan coast and on the general geographical distribution of this rare species. In contradiction to the observations of ALLEN…
Directional hearing in the harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena
Andersen, S.
Investigations on Cetacea (1970)
The forced choice variation of the method of constant stimuli was used to study the ability of angular discrimination at 2 kHz of a harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena. A minimum…
Auditory sensitivity of the harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena
Andersen, S.
Investigations on Cetacea (1970)
An audiogram has been obtained from the harbour porpoise, Ph.phocoena, in water from 1 to 150 kHz by using the operant conditioning technique. The highest sensitivity was measured between 8…
Epimeletic behaviour in captive harbour porpoise, Phocaena phocaena (L.)
Andersen, S.
Investigations on Cetacea (1969)
Among captive harbour porpoises, Phocaena phocaena (L.) epimeletic behaviour has been observed. Nurturant behaviour was performed by a juvenile female and a juvenile male toward sucklings and evidence is given…
