Biology and Conservation of Freshwater Cetaceans in Asia (2000)
Water development projects, including dams, embankments, and ship locks, have had extensive deleterious effects on two species of river cetacean in China: the baiji (Lipotes vexillifer) and the Yangtze population…
Biology and Conservation of Freshwater Cetaceans in Asia (2000)
Three finless porpoises (Neophocaena phocaenoides) from the Yangtze River were fitted with cotton cloth vests and small radio transmitters. They were tracked for 2.6, 11.0, and 14.6 days in the…

(page 121) (...) Miller (1925) and Kellogg (1928) included the true porpoises in the family Delphinidae and did not even grant them subfamily status. However, Slijper (1936) and Fraser and…
Marine Mammal Sci (1997)
The ability of a finless porpoise (Neophocaena phocaenoides) to discriminate the material and size of a target by echolocation was investigated. The porpoise was required to choose a standard target…

Geographical variations of skull among the Yangtze, Yellow Sea and South China Sea populations of the finless porpoise, Neophocaena phocaenoides, in Chinese waters were studied using 42 skull measurements based…
Acta Theriologica Sinica (1995)
Geographical variations of postcranial skeleton among the Yangtze, Yellow Sea and South China Sea populations of the finless porpoise, Neophocaena phocaenoides, in Chinese waters were studied with t-test, covariance analysis…
Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution (1995)
Portions of the cytochrome b gene and control region of the mitochondrial DNA molecule were sequenced to investigate systematic relationships among the six extant species of true porpoises, (Cetacea: Phocoenidae).…
