Foster, Geoffrey; Whatmore, Adrian M.; Dagleish, Mark P.; Malnick, Henry; Gilbert, Maarten J.; Begeman, Lineke; Macgregor, Shaheed K.; Davison, Nicholas J.; Roest, Hendrik Jan; Jepson, Paul; Howie, Fiona; Muchowski, Jakub; Brownlow, Andrew C.; Wagenaar, Jaap A.; Kik, Marja J. L.; Deaville, Rob; ten Doeschate, Mariel T. I.; Barley, Jason; Hunter, Laura; IJsseldijk, Lonneke L.
Scientific Reports (2019)
Neisseria animaloris is considered to be a commensal of the canine and feline oral cavities. It is able to cause systemic infections in animals as well as humans, usually after…
Time and tide: Seasonal, diel and tidal rhythms in Wadden Sea harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena)
Zein, Beate; Woelfing, Benno; Dähne, Michael; Schaffeld, Tobias; Ludwig, Stefan; Rye, Jacob Hansen; Baltzer, Johannes; Ruser, Andreas; Siebert, Ursula
PLOS ONE (2019)
Odontocetes have evolved a rich diversity of prey- and habitat-specific foraging strategies, which allows them to feed opportunistically on locally and temporally abundant prey. While habitat-specific foraging strategies have been…
Estimating effective detection area of static passive acoustic data loggers from playback experiments with cetacean vocalisations
Nuuttila, Hanna K.; Brundiers, Katharina; Dähne, Michael; Koblitz, Jens C.; Thomas, Len; Courtene‐Jones, Winnie; Evans, Peter G. H.; Turner, John R.; Bennell, Jim D.; Hiddink, Jan G.
Methods in Ecology and Evolution (2018)
Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) is used for many vocal species. However, few studies have quantified the fraction of vocalisations captured, and how animal distance and sound source level affect detection…
Abundance of harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) on the Dutch continental shelf, aerial surveys 2012-2017
Geelhoed, S. C. V.; Scheidat, M.
Lutra (2018)
The harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) is the most abundant marine mammal species in Dutch waters. Aerial surveys along predesigned track lines in 2012-2017 provided density and abundance estimates for the…
The metabolic cost of swimming and reproduction in harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) as predicted by a bioenergetic model
Gallagher, Cara A.; Stern, S. Jonathan; Hines, Ellen
Marine Mammal Science (2018)
While harbor porpoises currently enter San Francisco Bay year‐round, evidence suggests a disappearance that spanned approximately 65 yr. The range of energetic costs of basal metabolism, locomotion, thermoregulation, and reproduction…
Click reception in the harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena): Effects of electrode and contact transducer location on the auditory brainstem response
Mulsow, Jason; Finneran, James J.; Houser, Dorian S.; Nordstrom, Chad A.; Barrett-Lennard, Lance G.; Burkard, Robert F.
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America (2018)
Unlike terrestrial mammals that have unambiguous aerial sound transmission pathways via the outer ear and tympanum, sound reception pathways in most odontocetes are not well understood. Recent studies have used…
About stranding and accidentally caught cetaceans in the Black Sea: Death reasons, feeding characteristics and pregnancy status
Bilgin, Sabri; Onay, Hatice; Köse, Ozay; Yeşilçiçek, Tuncay
Türk Tarım ve Doğa Bilimleri Dergisi (2018)
This study was carried out to determine stranding levels, dead reasons and some reproduction features and diet of the Black Sea’ cetacean species (harbour porpoise, Phocoena phocoena and common dolphin,…
Strandings of cetaceans in Belgium from 1995 to 2017
Haelters, J.; Kerckhof, F.; Jauniaux, T.
Lutra (2018)
It is a tradition that regular overviews are published of strandings of cetaceans. The last overviews for Belgium covered the period 1975 to 1989 and 1990 to 1994. This overview…
Acoustic monitoring reveals the times and tides of harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) distribution off central Oregon, U.S.A.
Holdman, Amanda K.; Haxel, Joseph H.; Klinck, Holger; Torres, Leigh G.
Marine Mammal Science (2018)
Harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) are commonly observed in Oregon's nearshore marine environment yet knowledge of their ecosystem use and behavior remains limited, generating concerns for potential impacts on this species…
