Long-term feeding ecology and habitat use in harbour porpoises from Scandinavian waters inferred from trace elements and stable isotopes [PDF]
, 2007 peer reviewedBACKGROUND: We investigated the feeding ecology and habitat use of 32 harbour porpoises by-caught in 4 localities along the Scandinavian coast from the North Sea to the Barents Sea using time-integrative markers: stable isotopes (delta13C ...

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT Chronic anthropogenic activity is an ongoing threat to the marine environment and presents unique challenges in shallow, coastal habitats where harbor porpoises reside. Harbor porpoises have high metabolic needs and are highly susceptible to negative environmental factors; however, no long‐term studies have been conducted on wild populations ...

Abundance of harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) in three Alaskan regions, corrected for observer errors due to perception bias and species misidentification, and corrected for animals submerged from view [PDF]
, 2010 Estimating the abundance of cetaceans from aerial survey data requires careful attention to survey design and analysis. Once an aerial observer perceives a marine mammal or group of marine mammals, he or she has only a few seconds to identify and ...

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.Marine mammals are vulnerable to a variety of anthropogenic threats, yet a global systematic map of the literature for 19 species found both spatial and temporal disparity in research effort between threats and between species. There are knowledge gaps for species and threats, with effort unequal across many species' ranges.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.The Indo‐Pacific humpback dolphin population in Xiamen Bay was divided into two geographically separated but socially associated communities inhabiting the West and East sub‐regions. Based on 3 years of boat‐based surveys, this study established baseline acoustic characteristics and investigated whether vocal patterns varied with habitat conditions ...
