(...) Amano and Miyazaki (1996) found a geographic difference in the size of the white flank patch among dalli-type animals and reported that porpoises from the Sea of Japan-Okhotsk population…

(...) Burmeister's porpoise inhabits temperate waters of South America, from Tierra del Fuego to Rio de la Plata (Uruguay) on the Atlantic coast, and from Tierra del Fuego to Paita…
Cranial and post-cranial variation is described for a large series of specimens of spectacled porpoise from Argentina and compared with that for specimens from other areas of the Southern Hemisphere.…
To clarify population structure of finless porpoises (Neophocaena phocaenoides) in Japan, a sequence of studies have been conducted: a questionnaire survey and aerial sighting surveys to obtain information on porpoise…
We studied the growth and reproduction of finless porpoises in southern China, based on 86 specimens collected as strandings or fisheries bycatches in Hong Kong, southern Fujian Province, and Taiwan.…
North Atlantic harbour porpoises Phocoena phocoena (L.) face considerable energetic challenges, as they are relatively small marine mammals with an intense reproductive schedule and a cold-water habitat. Post-natal growth of…
The northernmost records of four cold-water cetacean species in the southwestern Atlantic are presented: the spectacled porpoise (Phocoena dioptrica), Layard's beaked whale (Mesoplodon layardii), Commerson's dolphin (Cephalorhynchus commersonii), and Peale's…
We measured metric and scored non-metric characters of 242 harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) skulls from the North and the Baltic Sea and subdivided them into three geographical areas: The German…
The taxonomy of the finless porpoise (Neophocaena phocaenoides), while better-studied than that of many species of small cetaceans, still suffers from some uncertainties and a general lack of data from…
Wide-ranging methods that have been used to determine population structure, including distribution, life history, biology, ecological factors such as diet and contaminant loads, morphology and genetics, are reviewed. The importance…
