How an animal receives sound may influence its use of sound. While ‘jaw hearing’ is well supported for odontocetes, work examining how sound is received across the head has been…
Acoustic evidence that harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) avoid bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus)
Jacobson, Eiren K.; Forney, Karin A.; Harvey, James T.
Mar Mam Sci (2014)
(...) In the present study, we investigated whether this documented conflict between bottlenose dolphins and harbor porpoises in California affected harbor porpoise behavior within the nearshore environment where habitat overlap…

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…
