Density estimates of harbour porpoises phocoena phocoena at eight coastal sites in Ireland [PDF]
, 2014 Single platform line-transect surveys with distance sampling were carried out at eight sites between July and September 2008 to derive density and abundance estimates of harbour porpoises. Over 37 days at sea, a total of 475 track-lines were surveyed for

Prevalence, impact and molecular characterisation of parasites in harbour porpoises and harbour seals [PDF]
, 2009 Parasitismus bei Wildtieren ist allgegenwärtig, zur Dynamik von Parasiteninfektionen und damit assoziierten Erkrankungen in marinen Säugetieren ist jedoch wenig bekannt. In dieser Arbeit wurde die Parasitenfauna von Schweinswal (Phocoena phocoena) und Seehund (Phoca vitulina) charakterisiert und ihr Einfluss auf den Gesundheitszustand der Wirte ...

Investigating monitoring options for harbour seals in Special Areas of Conservation in Scotland
, 2007 Managing a wild population effectively requires knowledge of the abundance and behaviour of the species. Harbour seals (Phoca vitulina) are usually counted when they come ashore at haul-out sites, and so it is important to understand how the number of ...

A New Simple Method for Age Determination of Harbour Porpoises (Phocoena phocoena)
Age determination of marine mammals is important for understanding the impact of anthropogenic disturbances as well as for population management. Toothed whales are usually age-determined by counting annually formed layers in their teeth. This includes a

Reduction of harbour porpoise bycatch in protected areas
The overall purpose of the project was to investigate how the behavior of harbor porpoises is affected in relation to acoustic alarms, so called pingers. In the project, the main focus was on studies of the effective range of pingers, their long-term effects, how porpoises reacts to the pinger signals and models of pingers effect on porpoises ...

Evolutionary genomics of Harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena)
The Harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) is a highly mobile cetacean species occurring in heterogeneous seascapes across the Northern hemisphere. I have produced 84 whole genomes which were used for population structure, demographic history and genotype-environment association analyses.
