Certain olfactory centers of the forebrain of the giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) [PDF]
In the spring of 1946 the Laboratory of Comparative Neurology at the University of Michigan received from Professor Fred A. Mettler of Columbia University the brain of a giant panda ( Ailuropoda melanoleuca) for histological study. This had been obtained from a mature female melanoleuca, Pan Dee, presented to the New York Zoological Society in 1941 ...

Dominant Components of the Giant Panda Seminal Plasma Metabolome, Characterized by 1H-NMR Spectroscopy [PDF]
Simple Summary As China's flagship animal, the giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) attracts much attention due to its small population and low natural reproductive rate. Therefore, artificial insemination has become the leading practical approach in the

Simulation study on giant panda population dynamics model with due consideration for deforestation [PDF]
Deforestation has destroyed the home of giant panda and poses a direct threat to their survival. Based on the idea of habitat protection of the trinity of “forest-bamboo-giant panda”, a “forest-bamboo-giant panda” nonlinear dynamics model is established ...

We report here a clinical case of phaeohyphomycosis in an 18-year-old male giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca). Skin lesions on the giant panda disappeared following 2 months of treatment with ketoconazole. Three months after discontinuing the treatment, there was a clinical and mycological relapse.

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