Social behaviors are poorly known for the critically endangered Yangtze finless porpoise (YFP, Neophocaena asiaeorientalis asiaeorientalis). Here, group composition and dispersal patterns of the YFP population living in the Poyang…
Investigations on Cetacea (1982)
One hundred and forty-three skulls of a total of 15 cetacean species belonging to the superfamiIies of the Platanistoidea, Monodontoidea and Delphinoidea presented usually symmetrically arranged perforation areas or lacunae…
