Sensory Abilities of Cetaceans (1990)
(...) Watkins et al. (1977) and Dudok van Heel (1981) point to similarity in sound output in Cephalorhynchus and Phocoena, and suggest that it may be the result of convergent…

In this study, the nasal asymmetry of odontocetes (toothed whales) was analyzed morphometrically by placing landmarks on photographed nasofacial skulls from 12 different species and genera that belong to four…
Regular monitoring of the status of cetacean populations is essential for conservation, policy and management. By using a passenger ferry as a scientific research platform, this study provides information on…
Using Irish strandings data collected between 2002 and 2014, seasonal and annual trends in the number of strandings for all strandings identified to species level (N = 1480), and for…
Micro-organisms that are known or suspected to cause skin diseases in cetaceans are briefly reviewed. Viruses belonging to four families i.e. Caliciviridae, Herpesviridae, Papillomaviridae and Poxviridae were detected by electron…
(...) Sound emissions by odontocetes (toothed whales and dolphins) can be classified into two broad categories of frequency-varying continuous tonal sounds referred to as whistles and broadband clicks (Evans, 1967),…
Monitoring echolocation using SAMs—static acoustic monitors—such as T-PODs or, more recently, C-PODs—has provided a wealth of information on the fine-scale distribution and activity of dolphins, porpoises and other toothed whales.…
Levels of organochlorine compounds (PCDD, PCDF, PCB and organochlorine pesticides) were determined in cetaceans collected from the west coast of North America between 1986 and 1989. The samples included gray…
(...) During the first months of operation (March, 1954 to Sept. 1955) of the new oceanarium, Marineland of the Pacific, we have had numerous opportunities to observe the dolphins and…
(...) During August and September 1986 a cooperative research effort was organized between a consultant of the IUCN/UNEP Burmeister's Porpoise Project (KVW) and the head of the marine mammal and…
