The diel rhythms of biosonar behavior in the Yangtze finless porpoise (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis asiaeorientalis) in the port of the Yangtze River: The correlation between prey availability and boat traffic. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Information on the habitat use of the critically endangered Yangtze finless porpoise (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis asiaeorientalis) is critical for its conservation.

Dynamic Echo Information Guides Flight in the Big Brown Bat [PDF]
, 2016 Animals rely on sensory feedback from their environment to guide locomotion. For instance, visually guided animals use patterns of optic flow to control their velocity and to estimate their distance to objects (e.g. Srinivasan et al. 1991, 1996). In this

Lancet dynamics in greater horseshoe bats, Rhinolophus ferrumequinum. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Echolocating greater horseshoe bats (Rhinolophus ferrumequinum) emit their biosonar pulses nasally, through nostrils surrounded by fleshy appendages ('noseleaves') that diffract the outgoing ultrasonic waves.

A computational model for biosonar echoes from foliage. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Since many bat species thrive in densely vegetated habitats, echoes from foliage are likely to be of prime importance to the animals' sensory ecology, be it as clutter that masks prey echoes or as sources of information about the environment.

Active control of acoustic field-of-view in a biosonar system. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2011 Active-sensing systems abound in nature, but little is known about systematic strategies that are used by these systems to scan the environment. Here, we addressed this question by studying echolocating bats, animals that have the ability to point their ...

Following a foraging fish-finder: diel habitat use of Blainville's beaked whales revealed by echolocation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Simultaneous high resolution sampling of predator behavior and habitat characteristics is often difficult to achieve despite its importance in understanding the foraging decisions and habitat use of predators.

Integrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 2, Page 331-342, March 2026.The audiogram of the world's first successfully captive‐born Yangtze finless porpoise was on average 40 dB higher than conspecifics. Congenital hearing disorders and noise exposure may be the primary cause of porpoise's hearing loss. ABSTRACT Aquariums globally have seen significant growth in recent decades.
