Contingent Valuation of Yangtze Finless Porpoises in Poyang Lake, China
Dong, Yanyan
(2013)
Yangtze finless porpoises (YFPs) are the only fresh water adapted porpoises in the world, living in the middle and downstream of the Yangtze River, in China. They are facing the…
Genome-wide SNP and population divergence of finless porpoises
Li, S.; Xu, S.; Wan, H.; Ji, H.; Zhou, K.; Yang, G.
Genome Biology and Evolution (2013)
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are rapidly becoming the population genomic markers in addressing ecology, evolution, and conservation issues for their high capacity to access variability across the genome. We isolated…

The seasonal surveys of stranded cetaceans were performed on the Turkish coast of the western Black Sea during summer 2007-spring 2009. Fifty stranded cetaceans were found, which included 24 harbour…
Is a German harbour porpoise much more sensitive than a British one? Comparative analyses of mandatory measures for the protection of harbour porposes (Phocoena phocoena) during offshore wind farm ramming in Germany, Denmark and the UK
Luedeke, Jens
Proceedings of Meetings on Acoustics (2012)
Offshore wind farms (OWF) will soon contribute to significant growth in the renewable energy sector. At present just a few OWF have been built. As of 2012, Germany has an…
Inference from limited data: A response to Lonergan
Gerrodette, Tim; Rojas-Bracho, Lorenzo
Marine Mammal Science (2012)
(...) Lonergan (2012) criticized the analysis of Gerrodette and Rojas-Bracho (2011), who estimated the success of three possible protected areas for the critically endangered vaquita (Phocoena sinus) proposed under the…
Negative long term effects on harbour porpoises from a large scale offshore wind farm in the Baltic – evidence of slow recovery
Teilmann, Jonas; Carstensen, Jacob
Environmental Research Letters (2012)
Offshore wind farms constitute a new and fast growing industry all over the world. This study investigates the long term impact on harbour porpoises, Phocoena phocoena, for more than 10…
The development of spatial positions between mother and calf of Yangtze finless porpoises (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis asiaeorientalis) maintained in captive and seminatural environments
Xian, Yijie; Wang, Kexiong; Jiang, Wenhua; Zheng, Bangyou; Wang, Ding
Aquatic Mammals (2012)
For many toothed whales, two predominant and multifunctional spatial positions occur between a mother/calf pair after birth: (1) the echelon position and (2) the infant position. Other nonpredominant positions also…
