PATHOLOGICAL FINDINGS IN AN OLD FEMALE GIANT PANDA – A CASE REPORT

Slovenian Veterinary Research, 2022
The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is one of the most endangered species in the world. Climate change and susceptibility to disease are two of the greatest threats to this species. We performed a necropsy and histopathological exami- nation of the

A snapshot of climate drivers and temporal variation of Ixodes ovatus abundance from a giant panda living in the wild

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2023
Ticks and tick-borne diseases have negative impacts on the health of wild animals including endangered and vulnerable species. The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca), a vulnerable and iconic flagship species, is threatened by tick infestation as well ...

Color vision in the giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) [PDF]

Learning & Behavior, 2006
Hue discrimination abilities of giant pandas were tested, controlling for brightness. Subjects were 2 adult giant pandas (1 male and 1 female). A simultaneous discrimination procedure without correction was used. In five tasks, white, black, and five saturations each of green, blue, and red served as positive stimuli that were paired with one or two ...

Male panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) urine contains kinship information [PDF]

Science Bulletin, 2008
Chemical communication plays an important role in kin selection and mate choice in mammals. The covariance of odor-genes of rodents has been documented and kinship odor has been proposed and termed, yet little is known of the relationship between genetic relatedness and chemical composition of kinship odors.

Bacteria isolated from Bengal cat (Felis catus × Prionailurus bengalensis) anal sac secretions produce volatile compounds potentially associated with animal signaling. [PDF]

, 2019
In social animals, scent secretions and marking behaviors play critical roles in communication, including intraspecific signals, such as identifying individuals and group membership, as well as interspecific signaling.

Scent communication behavior by giant pandas

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021
Behavioral strategies used in scent communication can reflect the adaptive capacity of animals. Signal detection theory and the principle of least effort posit that scent marking must be efficient and energy maximizing.

Signal detection theory applied to giant pandas: Do pandas go out of their way to make sure their scent marks are found?

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Inter‐animal communication allows signals released by an animal to be perceived by others. Scent‐marking is the primary mode of such communication in giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca).
