It is noteworthy that although Jefferson (2002) and Jefferson and Hung (2004) did not find convincing morphological evidence to differentiate populations within the narrow form, Gao and Zhou (1995a, 1995b, 1995c) could reliably distinguish the Yangtze finless porpoise from other populations with stepwise discriminant analysis of skeletal morphology.
