• Hippopotamus and whale phylogeny.

  Thewissen et al. describe new fossils from India that apparently support a phylogeny that places Cetacea (that is, whales, dolphins, porpoises) as the sister group to the extinct family Raoellidae ...

• Sequence Polymorphism and Geographical Variation at a Positively Selected MHC-DRB Gene in the Finless Porpoise (Neophocaena phocaenoides): Implication for Recent Differentiation of the Yangtze Finless Porpoise?

  Sequence polymorphism at the MHC class II DRB locus was investigated in three finless porpoise (Neophocaena phocaenoides) populations in Chinese waters. Intragenic recombination and strong positive ...

• Bartonella henselae in porpoise blood.

  We report detection of Bartonella henselae DNA in blood samples from 2 harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena). By using real-time polymerase chain reaction, we directly amplified Bartonella species DNA ...

• Levels and trends of brominated diphenyl ethers in blubber of harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) from the U.K., 1992-2008.

  Controls were placed on the production and use of the penta-mix polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) formulation within the European Union in 2004. In porpoises stranded or bycaught around the U.K ...

• Transmission of lungworms of harbour porpoises and harbour seals: molecular tools determine potential vertebrate intermediate hosts.

  Harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) and harbour seals (Phoca vitulina) from German waters are infected by six species of lungworms (Metastrongyloidea). These nematodes parasitise the respiratory ...
