Investigating the distribution of the Yangtze finless porpoise in the Yangtze River using environmental DNA

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 (

Identifying High Stranding Risk Areas of the Yangtze Finless Porpoise via Remote Sensing and Hydrodynamic Modeling

Remote Sensing, 2022
Freshwater cetaceans that inhabit river basins with seasonally changing hydrological regimes have a higher risk of stranding, leading to increased mortality and population decline.

Auditory temporal resolution and evoked responses to pulsed sounds for the Yangtze finless porpoises (Neophocaena phocaenoides asiaeorientalis) [PDF]

, 2011
Temporal cues are important for some forms of auditory processing, such as echolocation. Among odontocetes (toothed whales, dolphins, and porpoises), it has been suggested that porpoises may have temporal processing abilities which differ from other ...

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.

Immune Responses of the Critically Endangered Yangtze Finless Porpoises (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis ssp. asiaeorientalis) to Escalating Anthropogenic Stressors in the Wild and Seminatural Environments

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
Increasing anthropogenic stressors are potential threats to biodiversity conservation and management of Yangtze finless porpoises (YFPs). The objective of this study was to indirectly compare the habitat quality of a natural reserve, Poyang Lake and a ...

Seasonal changes in the local distribution of Yangtze finless porpoises related to fish presence

, 2012
The Yangtze finless porpoise (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis asiaeorientalis) is an endangered freshwater porpoise subspecies unique to the Yangtze River basin. Seasonal variations in local distribution of the animal, as well as fish presence, sand dredging,

Hematologic and biochemical differences between two free ranging Yangtze finless porpoise populations: The implications of habitat.

PLoS ONE, 2017
The goals of this study were to compare the serum chemistry and hematology values of wild and semi-natural free-ranging Yangtze Finless Porpoises (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis ssp. asiaeorientalis) populations and to ascertain how these values change with

Comparative Analysis of Blood Transcriptome in the Yangtze Finless Porpoise (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis)

Fishes, 2022
The Yangtze finless porpoise (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis) is the sole freshwater subspecies of Neophocaenaphocaenoides, and there is a lack of data on its transcriptome. In this study, we applied RNA-seq technology to assemble, de novo, a transcriptome and analyzed differential expressed genes (DEGs).
