• Diel echolocation activity of harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) around North Sea offshore gas installations (2009, background): “…mesopelagic, and pelagic), with long-term shifts in prey preference (Aarefjord et al., 1995; Benke and Siebert, 1996; Jepson, 2001; DTI, 2002; Szefer et al., 2002; Das et al., 2003; Santos and Pierce, 2003; Vı́kingsson et al., 2003; Santos et al., 2004; Fontaine et al., 2007; Pierce et al., 2007).”
• Habitat preferences and interannual variability in occurrence of the harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena off northwest Scotland (2009, background): “To what degree this model is representative of porpoise habitat preferences throughout the year is open to debate; especially if habitat preferences are linked to prey availability some changes might be encountered as seasonal variations in diet are likely (Santos et al. 2004).”
• Black-legged kittiwakes as indicators of environmental change in the North Sea: Evidence from long-term studies (2007, background): “Marine top predators have repeatedly been suggested as indicators of ecosystem state, with the most useful species generally regarded as those that are conspicuous and accessible, typically because they breed terrestrially, often in large traditional colonies (Croxall and Prince, 1979; Harris and Wa”
• Diet overlap between harbour porpoise and bottlenose dolphin: An argument in favour of interference competition for food? (2006, unknown): “The diet of the harbour porpoise is generally composed of gadids and clupeids, complemented by sandeels and gobies, but at prey species level its composition varies between areas (e.g. Börjesson et al., 2003; Rae, 1965; Santos et al., 2004; Smith and Gaskin, 1974, present work).”
