Hearing pathways in the Yangtze finless porpoise, Neophocaena asiaeorientalis asiaeorientalis
Mooney, T. A.; Li, S.; Ketten, D. R.; Wang, K.; Wang, D.
Journal of Experimental Biology (2013)
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…
Violent interactions between bottlenose dolphins and harbour porpoises
Ross, H. M.; Wilson, B.
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences (1996)
The majority (63%) of harbour porpoises stranded around the Moray Firth, Scotland, died from trauma characterized by multiple skeletal fractures and damaged internal organs. Surface injuries consisted of skin cuts…
