Marine Mammal Science (2017)
...Recently, Wisniewska et al. (2016) used high-resolution digital acoustic tags (DTAGs) to monitor the foraging behavior of five harbor porpoises in Danish waters. This approach provided detailed observations on the…

Contradictory genetic make-up of Dutch harbour porpoises: Response to van der Plas-Duivesteijn et al.
Kopps, Anna M.; Palsbøll, Per J.
Journal of Sea Research (2016)
(...) Recently, van der Plas-Duivesteijn et al. (2015) presented a genetic assessment of harbour porpoises, Phocoena phocoena, along the Dutch coast, which concluded that all analysed Dutch harbour porpoises are…

Thompson, Paul; Ingram, Simon; Lonergan, Mike; Northridge, Simon; Hall, Ailsa; Wilson, Ben
Biology Letters (2007)
(...) Recently, MacLeod et al. (2007) analysed data from harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) stranded on Scottish North Sea coasts in March–May of 1993–2003. Comparing 2002–2003 data against baseline data from…
Insufficient data are available to predict the success of protected areas for the vaquita (Phocoena sinus): A critique of Gerrodette and Rojas-Bracho (2011)
Lonergan, Mike
Marine Mammal Science (2012)
(...) Gerrodette and Rojas-Bracho (2011) fit a quite detailed Bayesian model to sparse data on vaquita (Phocoena sinus) abundance in order to investigate the likely effects of different degrees of…
Assessing the population structure of the harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) by discriminant analysis
Tolley, Krystal A.
Marine Mammal Sci (1998)
(...) Gaskin (1984, 1992) suggested that harbor porpoises in the northwestern Atlantic are partitioned into three subpopulations: Bay of Fundy/Gulf of Maine, Eastern Newfoundland, and Gulf of St. Lawrence (see…
