Morphometric and meristic comparisons of skulls of harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena (L.) from the North Atlantic and North Pacific
Yurick, Douglas B.; Gaskin, David. E.
Ophelia (1987)
Highly significant (α = 0.01) differences in analysis of 473 skulls of harbour porpoises indicate separate eastern Pacific, western Atlantic, and eastern Atlantic populations. Including the isolated population in the…
Application of a new method to investigate population structure in the harbour porpoise, Phocoena phocoena, with special reference to the North and Baltic Seas
Lockyer, C.
Journal of Cetacean Research and Management (1999)
Tooth ultrastructure in harbour porpoise is examined as a possible tool for differentiating between animals from different geographical regions in the North Atlantic. Nine different characteristics in both dentine and…
A discussion of rarities among the smaller cetaceans caught in Japanese waters
Nishiwaki, M.
Whales, Dolphins, and Porpoises [Proceedings] (1966)
There are many species of cetaceans in the waters around Japan. Some are migratory, but others seem to be permanent residents. The rarities among the small cetaceans caught by Japanese…

Functional morphology of the nasal complex in the harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena L.)
Huggenberger, Stefan; Rauschmann, Michael A.; Vogl, Thomas J.; Oelschläger, Helmut H. A.
Anatomical Record (2009)
Toothed whales (Odontoceti, Cetacea) are the only aquatic mammals known to echolocate, and probably all of them are able to produce click sounds and to synthesize their echoes into a…
Functional morphology of the hyolaryngeal complex of the harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena): Implications for its role in sound production and respiration
Huggenberger, Stefan; Rauschmann, Michael A.; Oelschläger, Helmut H. A.
Anatomical Record (2008)
In several publications, it was shown that echolocation sound generation in the nasal (epicranial) complex of toothed whales (Odontoceti) is pneumatically driven. Modern hypotheses consider the larynx and its surrounding…
Morphology and microanatomy of harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) dorsal fin tubercles
Ginter, Carly C.; Böttger, S. Anne; Fish, Frank E.
Journal of Morphology (2010)
The unique pattern of small tubercles on the leading edge of the dorsal fins of harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) has been widely noted in the literature, though their structure or…
Unique feeding morphology in a new Prognathous extinct porpoise from the Pliocene of California
Racicot, Rachel A.; Deméré, Thomas A.; Beatty, Brian L.; Boessenecker, Robert W.
Current Biology (2014)
Modern porpoises (Odontoceti: Phocoenidae) are some of the smallest cetaceans and usually feed near the seafloor on small fish and cephalopods [1, 2 and 3]. Within both extinct and extant…
