Evaluating Fishing Ban Effectiveness Through Spatiotemporal Changes in Genetic Diversity of <i>Parabramis pekinensis</i>. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
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 ...

A real-time passive acoustic monitoring system to detect Yangtze finless porpoise clicks in Ganjiang River, China

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Phocoenidae live in fresh, coastal waters where they often share a significant portion of their habitat with humans. As a result, local activities (e.g., coastal fisheries and shipments) cause underwater noise pollution and threaten their ecosystem.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Precautionary Principle or Evidence-Based Conservation? Assessing the Information Content of Threat Data for the Yangtze Finless Porpoise

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Conservation management requires evidence, but robust data on key parameters such as threats are often unavailable. Conservation-relevant insights might be available within datasets collected for other reasons, making it important to determine the ...
