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.

Impacts of Sand Mining Activities on the Wetland Ecosystem of Poyang Lake (China)

Land, 2022
Increasing anthropogenic activities are threatening freshwater ecosystems worldwide. Sand mining in Poyang Lake has significantly impacted the wetland ecosystem over the past 20 years, yet a quantitative analysis of these impacts remains insufficient ...

Hawksbill turtles in Korean waters: Occurrence records, tracking, and conservation considerations

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
In Korean waters, diverse efforts, including rescue, rehabilitation, and post‐release satellite tracking, has been conducted to conserve and restore hawksbill turtles. Hawksbill turtles showed three movement patterns and a potential migratory corridor linking Jeju Island to Hainan Island, southern China.

Predicting ecology and hearing sensitivities in Parapontoporia—An extinct long‐snouted dolphin

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 4, Page 853-863, April 2026.
Abstract Analyses of the cetacean (whale and dolphin) inner ear provide glimpses into the ecology and evolution of extinct and extant groups. The paleoecology of the long‐snouted odontocete (toothed whale) group, Parapontoporia, is primarily marine with its depositional context also suggesting freshwater tolerance.

Spatiotemporal relationships of threatened cetaceans and anthropogenic threats in the lower Yangtze system

Frontiers in Conservation Science, 2022
The impacts of fisheries interactions on cetaceans can be challenging to determine, often requiring multiple complementary investigative approaches. The Yangtze finless porpoise (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis asiaeorientalis), one of the few Critically ...

Evaluating Fishing Ban Effectiveness Through Spatiotemporal Changes in Genetic Diversity of Parabramis pekinensis

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Based on spatiotemporal changes in the genetic diversity of Parabramis pekinensis populations in the lower Yangtze River (2022–2024), this study provides pioneering evidence that the 10‐year fishing ban has not only significantly enhanced genetic diversity but also effectively mitigated geographical barriers, thereby strengthening gene flow ...

Seasonal and Diurnal Patterns of Harbor Porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) Behavior and the Disruptive Effects of Vessel Presence in a High‐Traffic Coastal Habitat

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Chronic anthropogenic activity is an ongoing threat to the marine environment and presents unique challenges in shallow, coastal habitats where harbor porpoises reside. Harbor porpoises have high metabolic needs and are highly susceptible to negative environmental factors; however, no long‐term studies have been conducted on wild populations ...

Concentrations of osmotically related constituents in plasma and urine of finless porpoise (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis

, 2014
BackgroundMost cetaceans inhabit the hyperosmotic marine environment with only a few species living in freshwater habitats. The Yangtze finless porpoise (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis asiaeorientalis) is the only freshwater subspecies of the genus. Our aim

Environmental DNA Reveals Diverse and Depth‐Stratified Biodiversity in East Indian Ocean Submarine Canyons

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Environmental DNA metabarcoding reveals diverse animal communities across Cape Range and Cloates submarine canyons off Western Australia. Two assays detected 234 species spanning 125 families across 11 phyla, highlighting canyon‐specific assemblages and demonstrating the value of eDNA for establishing biodiversity baselines in remote and poorly ...
