Directional asymmetry (DA) of the lengths, diameters, and masses of the scapula, humerus, radius, and ulna were analyzed on a sample of 213 harbor porpoises from Denmark and West Greenland.…
A total of 433 skulls of harbor porpoises, Phocoena phocoena, were examined to evaluate geographical variation within the western North Atlantic, using analysis of covariance and discriminant analysis based on…
Development, sexual dimorphism, and individual variation were examined in the skeleton of the finless porpoise in the coastal waters of western Kyushu, Japan. Skulls ceased growing by 4 yr. Postcranial…
Heterochrony, the change in timing of developmental processes, is thought to be a key process shaping the numerous limb morphologies of tetrapods. Through a delayed offset in digit development, all…
Geographical variations of postcranial skeleton among the Yangtze, Yellow Sea and South China Sea populations of the finless porpoise, Neophocaena phocaenoides, in Chinese waters were studied with t-test, covariance analysis…
Geographical variations of skull among the Yangtze, Yellow Sea and South China Sea populations of the finless porpoise, Neophocaena phocaenoides, in Chinese waters were studied using 42 skull measurements based…
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.…
Two hundred and eighty-nine skulls of Dall's porpoises from the North Pacific Ocean, Sea of Japan, Sea of Okhotsk, and Bering Sea were investigated morphometrically. A clear pattern of geographic…
There are two porpoise stocks in the northern Black Sea: the north-western (Odessa Gulf) and northeastern (Crimean and Caucasian waters); in addition, another stock is in the Sea of Azov.…
