The source parameters of echolocation clicks from captive and free-ranging Yangtze finless porpoises (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis asiaeorientalis)
Fang, Liang; Wang, Ding; Li, Yongtao; Cheng, Zhaolong; Pine, Matthew K.; Wang, Kexiong; Li, Songhai
PLOS ONE (2015)
The clicks of Yangtze finless porpoises (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis asiaeorientalis) from 7 individuals in the tank of Baiji aquarium, 2 individuals in a netted pen at Shishou Tian-e-zhou Reserve and 4…
Range-dependent flexibility in the acoustic field of view of echolocating porpoises (Phocoena phocoena)
Wisniewska, Danuta M; Ratcliffe, John M; Beedholm, Kristian; Christensen, Christian B; Johnson, Mark; Koblitz, Jens C; Wahlberg, Magnus; Madsen, Peter T
eLife (2015)
Toothed whales use sonar to detect, locate, and track prey. They adjust emitted sound intensity, auditory sensitivity and click rate to target range, and terminate prey pursuits with high-repetition-rate, low-intensity…
Cetacean distribution in the southern Black Sea: An acoustic approach
Saydam, Gülce
Master's Thesis - Middle East Technical University (2015)
Large numbers of small cetaceans (common dolphin, harbor porpoises and bottlenose dolphins) were hunted in the Black Sea until the hunting of cetaceans was banned in Turkey in 1983. Even…
Studying the biosonar of bats and porpoises using multi receiver arrays
Koblitz, Jens C.
Doctoral Thesis - Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen (2014)
Echolocation, the main sensory modality of odontocetes and microbats, has mostly been studied using single receivers. Such a recording setup is sufficient to study signal parameters like pulse interval, inter…

The diel rhythms of biosonar behavior in the Yangtze finless porpoise (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis asiaeorientalis) in the port of the Yangtze River: The correlation between prey availability and boat traffic
Wang, Zhitao; Akamatsu, Tomonari; Wang, Kexiong; Wang, Ding
PLoS ONE (2014)
Information on the habitat use of the critically endangered Yangtze finless porpoise (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis asiaeorientalis) is critical for its conservation. The diel biosonar behavior of the porpoise in the port…
Do man-made structures and water depth affect the diel rhythms in click recordings of harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena)?
Brandt, Miriam J.; Hansen, Sophie; Diederichs, Ansgar; Nehls, Georg
Mar Mam Sci (2014)
The construction of industrial offshore structures may lead to colonization by a variety of marine organisms resulting in locally enhanced biodiversity and biomass, which may then affect the habitat use…
Echolocation by the harbour porpoise: life in coastal waters
Miller, Lee A.; Wahlberg, Magnus
Frontiers in Physiology (2013)
The harbor porpoise is one of the smallest and most widely spread of all toothed whales. They are found abundantly in coastal waters all around the northern hemisphere. They are…
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,…
