Post-ban small cetacean takes off Peru: A review
Van Waerebeek, K.; Reyes, J. C.
Report of the International Whaling Commission (1994)
Information on small cetacean mortality in Peruvian fisheries is reviewed for the 1990-1993 period, i.e. after the national ban on cetacean exploitation. Most ports along the Peruvian coast were sampled…
Preliminary report on the small cetaceans stranded on the coasts of Tierra del Fuego

Comparative morphology of porpoise (Cetacea: Phocoenidae) pterygoid sinuses: Phylogenetic and functional implications
Racicot, Rachel A.; Berta, Annalisa
Journal of Morphology (2012)
High-resolution X-ray computed tomographic scans were used to examine pterygoid sinus morphology within extant porpoise species and one delphinid (Tursiops truncatus), in order to consider: 1) intraspecific and interspecific variation…

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…
