Seasonal Breeding Alters Fecal Microbiota and Metabolome in the Male Captive Yangtze Finless Porpoise (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis asiaeorientalis)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.
This study investigates the seasonal variations in fecal microbiota and metabolites of captive Yangtze finless porpoises (YFP) during breeding (B) and nonbreeding (NB) seasons using 16S rRNA gene sequencing and UHPLC–MS/MS analysis. Firmicutes were dominant in NB, while Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria, and Fusobacteriota increased in B.

Accelerating population decline of Yangtze finless porpoise (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis asiaeorientalis)

, 2012
The Yangtze finless porpoise (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis asiaeorientalis) is now the only cetacean species in the Yangtze River following the probable extinction of the baiji (Lipotes vexillifer).

Fine-scaled habitat preference of the Yangtze finless porpoise in the Yangtze River

Abstract The Yangtze finless porpoise (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis) is critically endangered and suffered from extensive habitat loss and fragmentation. Knowledge on habitat preference of the Yangtze finless porpoise could assist finless porpoise and associated ecosystem-based conservation by knowing porpoises’ suitable environments and ...

Fostering Children's Self‐Efficacy Through Nature Education: Insights From a Wildlife Education Program in Rural China 通过自然教育培养儿童的自我效能感:中国乡村自然课项目的启示

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 2, Page 154-164, June 2025.
This study identified self‐efficacy as a crucial outcome of nature education, with the potential for achieving long‐term conservation goals. Using a mixed‐methods design, we evaluated the effect of a wildlife course implemented in ten rural elementary schools in China, which significantly increased students' self‐efficacy, and also contributed to pro ...

Monitoring Local Migration of Yangtze Finless Porpoises by Acoustic Gate

The Journal of the Marine Acoustics Society of Japan, 2007
Passive acoustical monitoring systems were used to monitor local migrations of Yangtze finless porpoises in China. We stationed 3 acoustic data loggers (W20-ASII) at 3 different places in the confluence area of Poyang Lake and the Yangtze River on 27-29 April 2006.

Genetic Diversity and Population Differentiation of Yangtze Finless Porpoise in Poyang Lake

Animals
The Yangtze finless porpoise (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis asiaeorientalis; YFP) is the only freshwater cetacean species that remains in the Yangtze River, China. Poyang Lake is connected to the main stream of the Yangtze River, and the number of YFPs in Poyang Lake constitutes approximately half of the total species population.

Low Heterozygosity and Historical Bottleneck Effect Depicted From the Genome Assembly of the Indus River Dolphin (Platanista minor)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.
The Indus River dolphin (Platanista minor) is a highly endangered freshwater dolphin endemic to the Indus River system of the Indian subcontinent. We reported a relatively high‐quality de novo genome assembly of it. We revealed the low heterozygosity as well as the molecular mechanisms underlying its adaptation and evolution.

Mercury concentrations in Yangtze finless porpoises (Neophocaena phocaenoides asiaeorientalis) from Eastern Dongting Lake, China

, 2006
Mercury concentrations in some key tissues (liver, kidney, small intestine, stomach, blubber and brain) of five Yangtze finless porpoises (Neophocaena phocaenoides asiaeorientalis), accidentally died in the Eastern Dongting Lake of China between 1998 and
