Sound Reception in the Yangtze Finless Porpoise and Its Extension to a Biomimetic Receptor
Biomimetics, 2023 Sound reception was investigated in the Yangtze finless porpoise (Neophocaena phocaenoides asiaeorientalis) at its most sensitive frequency. The computed tomography scanning, sound speed, and density results were used to develop a three-dimensional numerical model of the porpoise sound-reception system.

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.

PLOS ONE, 2019 La détermination de la répartition du marsouin sans nageoires du Yangtsé (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis asiaeorientalis, YFP) dans le fleuve Yangtsé s'est jusqu'à présent appuyée sur des méthodes traditionnelles de visualisation et de comptage, mais de telles enquêtes sur le terrain sont longues et coûteuses. Les analyses utilisant l'ADN environnemental (

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 ...
