An evolutionary divergent pestivirus lacking the Npro gene systemically infects a whale species

open access: yesEmerging Microbes and Infections, 2019
Pestiviruses typically infect members of the order Artiodactyla, including ruminants and pigs, although putative rat and bat pestiviruses have also been described. In the present study, we identified and characterized an evolutionary divergent pestivirus

Spatial orientation in echolocating harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Biology, 2005
SUMMARY Studies concerning the echolocation behaviour of odontocetes focus mainly on target detection and discrimination, either in stationary animals or in animals approaching a specific target. We present the first data on the use of echolocation for spatial orientation or navigation.

Fine-scale movement responses of free-ranging harbour porpoises to capture, tagging and short-term noise pulses from a single airgun [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2018
Knowledge about the impact of anthropogenic disturbances on the behavioural responses of cetaceans is constrained by lack of data on fine-scale movements of individuals.
