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

open access: yes
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 ...

Monitoring Local Migration of Yangtze Finless Porpoises by Acoustic Gate

open access: yesThe 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.

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

open access: yesIntegrative 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 ...

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

open access: yesEcology 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.

Yangtze Finless Porpoise Optimization Algorithm

open access: yes
To address the problems of existing swarm intelligence optimization algorithms, such as limited search information structure, reliance on mean statistics for group collaboration, and susceptibility to premature convergence, this paper proposes a novel swarm intelligence optimization method—the Yangtze Finless Porpoise Optimization Algorithm.
