Clicking in Shallow Rivers : Short-Range Echolocation of Irrawaddy and Ganges River Dolphins in a Shallow, Acoustically Complex Habitat [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Toothed whales (Cetacea, odontoceti) use biosonar to navigate their environment and to find and catch prey. All studied toothed whale species have evolved highly directional, high-amplitude ultrasonic clicks suited for long-range echolocation of prey in ...

Passive acoustic survey of Yangtze finless porpoises using a cargo ship as a moving platform

open access: yes, 2011
In order to periodically investigate the population and distribution of the Yangtze finless porpoise (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis asiaeorientalis) in its main distribution range in the Yangtze River, a passive acoustic system deployed on a cargo ship as ...

Sonar gain control in echolocating finless porpoises (Neophocaena phocaenoides) in an open water (L)

open access: yes, 2006
Source levels of echolocating free-ranging Yangtze finless porpoise (Neophocaena phocaenoides asiaeorientalis) were calculated using a range estimated by measuring the time delays of the signals via the surface and bottom reflection paths to the ...

Evoked-potential audiogram variability in a group of wild Yangtze finless porpoises (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis asiaeorientalis)

open access: yes, 2020
Hearing is considered the primary sensory modality of cetaceans and enables their vital life functions. Information on the hearing sensitivity variability within a species obtained in a biologically relevant wild context is fundamental to evaluating ...

A pilot study on isolation of microsatellite DNA in the Yangtze finless porpoise (Neophocaena phocaenoides asiaeorientalis)

open access: yes, 2008
To the aim of developing specific microsatellite markers for the endangered Yangtze finless porpoise Neophocaena phocaenoides asiaeorientalis 72 microsatellite DNA sequences were isolated using an improved FIASCO (Fast Isolation by AFLP of Sequences ...

Biological characteristics of pregnancy in captive Yangtze finless porpoises revealed by urinary metabolomics

open access: yesBiology of Reproduction
Abstract The Yangtze finless porpoises (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis a.) are an endemic and critically endangered species in China. Intensive captive breeding is essential for understanding the biology of critically endangered species, especially their pregnancy characteristics, knowledge of which is crucial for effective breeding ...

Assessment of Yangtze Finless Porpoises (Neophocaena asiaorientalis) through Biochemical and Hematological Parameters

open access: yes, 2017
For the management of endangered species, a periodic health assessment is important, as diet in captivity is restricted due to cost and some nutrients are lost during the processing, storage and thawing of fish. The objective of this study was to compare

Proteus faecis: a putative pathogen of the freshwater Yangtze finless porpoise

open access: yes
Abstract Proteus faecis is a Gram-negative facultative anaerobic rod-shaped bacterium capable of swarming motility. It has been isolated from numerous sources such as humans, animals, and refuse and is considered a putative human pathogen.

Noise-induced temporary threshold shift and recovery in Yangtze finless porpoises Neophocaena phocaenoides asiaeorientalis

open access: yes, 2011
In Yangtze finless porpoises Neophocaena phocaenoides asiaeorientalis, the effects of fatiguing noise on hearing thresholds at frequencies of 32, 45, 64, and 128 kHz were investigated. The noise parameters were: 0.5-oct bandwidth, -1 to +0.5 oct relative
