Synapsids and sensitivity: Broad survey of tetrapod trigeminal canal morphology supports an evolutionary trend of increasing facial tactile specialization in the mammal lineage

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 4, Page 864-911, April 2026.
Abstract The trigeminus nerve (cranial nerve V) is a large and significant conduit of sensory information from the face to the brain, with its three branches extending over the head to innervate a wide variety of integumentary sensory receptors, primarily tactile.

What happens after oil and gas decommissioning? A global systematic review of marine environmental effects

open access: yesEcological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 3, April 2026.
Abstract The thousands of oil and gas (OG) platforms placed at sea for fossil fuel extraction have introduced new hard substrate to the marine environment. Over time, these structures can become colonized by a diversity of marine life, fostering novel ecosystems.

Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay-A rapid detection tool for identifying red fox (Vulpes vulpes) DNA in the carcasses of harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena).

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Carcasses of wild animals are often visited by different scavengers. However, determining which scavenger caused certain types of bite marks is particularly difficult and knowledge thereof is lacking.

A Breath of Fresh Air: A Novel Passive Airborne eDNA Approach for Scalable Terrestrial Biodiversity Monitoring

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
The study introduces the Nutshell eDNA sampler, an inexpensive, reusable passive device for collecting environmental DNA from air to monitor terrestrial biodiversity. Tested at the Rotterdam Zoo, it detected numerous species and complimented active samplers in identifying zoo animals, continuing to accumulate DNA over longer sampling times and ...

Determining optimal pinger spacing for harbour porpoise bycatch mitigation

open access: yesEndangered Species Research, 2013
A trial was conducted in the Danish North Sea hake gillnet fishery in July to September 2006 to determine whether the spacing of the Aquatec AQUAmark100 pinger could be increased without reducing the effectiveness of the pinger in mitigating harbour ...

Feeding ecology of harbour porpoises Phocoena phocoena stranded on the Galician coast (NW Spain) between 1990 and 2018

open access: yesEndangered Species Research
Diet studies on the endangered and genetically distinct Iberian population of the southern harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena are scarce. The present study provides updated information on the feeding ecology of this cetacean along the Galician coast (NW ...

Negative long term effects on harbour porpoises from a large scale offshore wind farm in the Baltic—evidence of slow recovery

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2012
Offshore wind farms constitute a new and fast growing industry all over the world. This study investigates the long term impact on harbour porpoises, Phocoena phocoena , for more than 10 years (2001–12) from the first large scale offshore wind farm in ...

Investigation of Spatiotemporal Patterns of Harbour Porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) Strandings in Swedish Waters for Improved Monitoring and Management

open access: yesOceans
Harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) are the only cetacean residents found year-round in Swedish waters and they are exposed to numerous natural and anthropogenic threats.

Effects of pile-driving on harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) at the first offshore wind farm in Germany

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2013
The first offshore wind farm ‘alpha ventus’ in the German North Sea was constructed north east of Borkum Reef Ground approximately 45 km north off the German coast in 2008 and 2009 using percussive piling for the foundations of 12 wind turbines.

Growth of the harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) in eastern Newfoundland, Canada

open access: yesNAMMCO Scientific Publications, 2003
Although the stock relationships among harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) in the Northwest Atlantic are unknown, it has been postulated that there are 4 local populations: Bay of Fundy/Gulf of Maine, Gulf of St.
