There is an increasing interest in parasites of marine mammals of Argentina. Here, we examined several poorly known cetaceans, i.e., 2 spectacled porpoises and 1 Burmeister's porpoise (Phocoenidae), and 1…
Principles of Marine Bioacoustics (2008)
(...) Sound emissions by odontocetes (toothed whales and dolphins) can be classified into two broad categories of frequency-varying continuous tonal sounds referred to as whistles and broadband clicks (Evans, 1967),…
Scientific Committee Meeting Documents (2008)
Micro-organisms that are known or suspected to cause skin diseases in cetaceans are briefly reviewed. Viruses belonging to four families i.e. Caliciviridae, Herpesviridae, Papillomaviridae and Poxviridae were detected by electron…
