Gapless genome assembly of East Asian finless porpoise

open access: yesScientific Data, 2022
In recent years, conservation efforts have increased for rare and endangered aquatic wildlife, especially cetaceans. However, the East Asian finless porpoise (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis sunameri), which has a wide distribution in China, has received far

Seasonal and Diurnal Patterns of Harbor Porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) Behavior and the Disruptive Effects of Vessel Presence in a High‐Traffic Coastal Habitat

open access: yesMarine 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 ...

Did the pile driving during the construction of the Offshore Wind Farm Egmond aan Zee, the Netherlands, impact porpoises? [PDF]

open access: yes
The Dutch consortium "NoordzeeWind" has built the first offshore wind farm in Dutch North Sea waters, known as "Offshore Wind farm Egmond aan Zee" (OWEZ) Part of the construction works consisted of driving 36 monopiles into the sea floor, during April ...

Marine Mammals in the Anthropocene: Developing a Systematic Evidence Base of Threats to Nineteen Species

open access: yesMammal 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.

Artificial clicks (Porpoise ALert) affect acoustic monitoring of harbour porpoises and their echolocation behaviour

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
IntroductionIn 2021, a continuous acoustic monitoring programme was initiated in the Baltic Sea of Schleswig-Holstein to determine the occurrence and seasonal distribution of harbour porpoises.

Models with a porpoise [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2012
Fontaine et al. provide insight into the structure of a geographically disjunct population on a severe downtrend (1). To understand these data, they turned to a Bayesian statistical approach, providing the mathematical base for changing existing beliefs in light of new evidence.
