Structural modifications of the odontocete skull and nasal passages have shifted the position of the facial bones and associated soft anatomy to the dorsal aspect of the head. The facial…
Differences in the response of a striped dolphin (Stenella coeruleoalba) and a harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) to an acoustic alarm
Kastelein, R.A.; Jennings, N.; Verboom, W.C.; de Haan, D.; Schooneman, N.M.
Marine Environmental Research (2006)
Small cetacean bycatch in gillnet fisheries may be reduced by deterring odontocetes from nets acoustically. However, different odontocete species may respond differently to acoustic signals from alarms. Therefore, in this…
Distribution of Pholeter gastrophilus (Digenea) within the stomach of four odontocete species: the role of the diet and digestive physiology of hosts
AZNAR, F. J.; FOGNANI, P.; BALBUENA, J. A.; PIETROBELLI, M.; RAGA, J. A.
Parasitology (2006)
We compared the distribution of the digenean Pholeter gastrophilus in the stomach of 27 harbour porpoises, Phocoena phocoena, 27 striped dolphins, Stenella coeruleoalba, 18 bottlenose dolphins, Tursiops truncatus, and 100…
Ontogenetic development of the nervus terminalis in toothed whales
Buhl, E. H.; Oelschläger, H. A.
Anatomy and Embryology (1986)
For the first time in cetaceans, the development of the terminalis system and its continuity between the olfactory placode and the telencephalon has been demonstrated by light microscopy. In the…
Prey capture by harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena): A comparison between echolocators in the field and in captivity
Miller, L.A.
The Journal of the Marine Acoustics Society of Japan (2010)
The harbor porpoise, and other toothed whales, use a biosonar click sequence that resembles the sequence of cries used by insectivorous bats when hunting for and capturing prey. The temporal…
On a new species of porpoise, Phocaena dalli, from Alaska
True, F.W.
Proceedings of the United States National Museum (1885)
(...) I am enabled to add a new species, through the kindness of Mr. William H. Dall, who has placed at my disposal his notes upon and drawings of two…
Sexual dimorphism of Dall’s porpoise and harbor porpoise skulls
Frandsen, Marie Schou; Galatius, Anders
Mammalian Biology - Zeitschrift für Säugetierkunde (2013)
To evaluate and quantify sexual dimorphism of skull shape and assess the ontogenetic background for differences, samples of 134 harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) and 85 Dall's porpoise (Phocoenoides dalli) were…

Relationships between polychlorinated biphenyls and health status in harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) stranded in the United Kingdom
Jepson, Paul D.; Bennett, Peter M.; Deaville, Robert; Allchin, Colin R.; Baker, John R.; Law, Robin J.
Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (2005)
To investigate possible relationships between polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) exposure and infectious disease mortality in harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) in United Kingdom waters, summed blubber concentrations of 25 chlorobiphenyl congeners (Σ25CB)…
