Coming of age: - Do female harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) from the North Sea and Baltic Sea have sufficient time to reproduce in a human influenced environment?

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
The harbour porpoise is the only cetacean species native to German waters. Since human pressures are suggested to shorten their reproductive lifespan, basic knowledge on reproduction is strongly required.

Defining AV2‐1 as a novel pharmacological probe to target human and rodent TRPV2

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 13, Page 3538-3557, July 2026.
Abstract Background and Purpose Transient receptor potential vanilloid 2 (TRPV2) is a non‐selective cation channel implicated in immune cell functions. However, progress in understanding TRPV2 has been limited by a lack of potent and selective pharmacological tools, particularly those targeting the human variant. We aimed to identify and characterise a

Seal Bomb Noise as a Potential Threat to Monterey Bay Harbor Porpoise

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Anthropogenic noise is a known threat to marine mammals. Decades of research have shown that harbor porpoises are particularly sensitive to anthropogenic noise, and geographic displacement is a common impact from noise exposure.

Radiographic Assessment of Bone Maturation: A Tool to Estimate Sexual Maturity in Common Dolphins (Delphinus delphis)?

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Accurate inference of sexual maturity is fundamental to interpreting marine mammal life histories and population structure. Using Bayesian logistic regression models with a hierarchical ordinal (HOF‐style) parameterisation and canonical analysis of principal coordinates (CAP), we evaluate skeletal metrics in the pectoral flippers of common ...

Long-term effectiveness of pingers on a small population of finless porpoises in Japan

open access: yesEndangered Species Research, 2017
Finless porpoises Neophocaena spp. are under pressure from various anthropogenic impacts due to their coastal habitat. Net fishery bycatch is considered a major risk for the populations around Japan, and mitigation measures are required. We carried out a
