range-wide yangtze freshwater dolphin expedition: the last chance to see baiji?	there are two species of fresh water cetaceans surviving in the yangtze river system in china: baiji (lipotes vexillifer) and yangtze finless porpoise (neophocaena phocaenoides asiaeorientalis). as a result of the expansion of human activities on the river, their distribution ranges appear to be decreasing and in the case of the baiji, are even being restricted to several sections. the baiji is the world's most critically endangered cetacean species with a population estimated at only a few tens ...	2006	17120833
using environmental dna to assess population-wide spatiotemporal reserve use.	scientists increasingly rely on protected areas to assist in biodiversity conservation, yet the efficacy of these areas is rarely systematically assessed, often because of underfunding. still, adaptive management strategies to maximize conservation success often rely on understanding the temporal and spatial dynamism of populations therein. examination of environmental dna (edna) is a time and cost-effective way to monitor species' distribution, and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qpcr) ...	2017	28221696
