Acoustic property reconstruction of a neonate Yangtze finless porpoise's (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis) head based on CT imaging. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The reconstruction of the acoustic properties of a neonate finless porpoise's head was performed using X-ray computed tomography (CT). The head of the deceased neonate porpoise was also segmented across the body axis and cut into slices.

Detecting recent speciation events: the case of the finless porpoise (genus Neophocaena) [PDF]
Heredity, 2008 Recent speciation events provide important insights into the understanding and conservation of Earth's biodiversity, representing recent adaptations to a changing environment and an important source of future evolutionary potential. However, the most frequently applied criterion for molecular-based speciation investigations, that of reciprocal ...

Population genomics of finless porpoises reveal an incipient cetacean species adapted to freshwater
Nature Communications, 2018 Whales, dolphins and porpoises are adapted to various aquatic habitats. Here, Zhou et al. show that polymorphisms associated with renal function and the urea cycle have undergone selection in the freshwater Yangtze finless porpoise and provide genomic ...

Hearing pathways in the Yangtze finless porpoise,Neophocaena asiaeorientalis asiaeorientalis [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2013 SummaryHow an animal receives sound may influence its use of sound. While "jaw hearing" is well supported for odontocetes, examining how sound is received across the head work has been limited to a few representative species. The substantial variation in jaw and head morphology among odontocetes suggests variation in sound reception.
