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…
Asymmetry of the nasofacial skull in toothed whales (Odontoceti)
Huggenberger, S.; Leidenberger, S.; Oelschläger, H. H. A.
Journal of Zoology (2016)
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…
Emission of social sounds by marine animals
Au, W. W. L.; Hastings, M. C.
Principles of Marine Bioacoustics (2008)
(...) 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),…
Identifying foraging behaviour of wild bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) and harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) with static acoustic dataloggers
Nuuttila, H. K.; Meier, R.; Evans, P. G. H.; Turner, J. R.; Bennell, J. D.; Hiddink, J. G.
Aquatic Mammals (2013)
Sound is the main means of communication for cetaceans, and studying their vocal behaviour can reveal important information about their activity patterns. As static acoustic monitoring (SAM) of whales, dolphins,…
Listening to echolocation clicks with PODs
Tregenza, Nick; Dawson, Steve; Rayment, Will; Verfuss, Ursula
Modern Acoustics and Signal Processing (2016)
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.…

Changes in click source levels with distance to targets: Studies of free-ranging white-beaked dolphins Lagenorhynchus albirostris and captive harbour porpoises Phocoena phocoena
Atem, Ana Carolina G.; Rasmussen, Marianne H.; Wahlberg, Magnus; Petersen, Hans C.; Miller, Lee A.;
Bioacoustics (2009)
Probably all odontocetes use echolocation for spatial orientation and detection of prey. We used a four hydrophone “Y” array to record the high frequency clicks from free-ranging White-beaked Dolphins Lagenorhynchus…
