The site and physiologic mechanism(s) responsible for the generation of odontocete biosonar signals have eluded investigators for decades. To address these issues we subjected postmortem toothed whale heads to interrogation…

Blood volumes, hemoglobin concentrations, packed-cell volumes, and heart weights were determined in three genera of porpoises which differ from one another in behavior and ecology. The estimate for the total…

The prevalence of ‘tattoo’ skin lesions, characteristic of poxvirus infection, was examined in 339 small cetaceans captured in gillnet fisheries off coastal Peru: 196 Lagenorhynchus obscurus (34.7%, CI 29.0%–41.8%), 54…
