Habitat preference of the Yangtze finless porpoise in a minimally disturbed environment

open access: yesEcological Modelling, 2017
Abstract Analyses of animal species distribution in a neutral or minimally-interrupted habitat provide a baseline that is essential for assessment of population status, identification of key habitat, and conservation planning for habitat protection and restoration. In this study, we surveyed the occurrence of the Yangtze finless porpoise (Neophocaena
