The evolution, distribution and diversity of endogenous circoviral elements in vertebrate genomes [PDF]
, 2018 Circoviruses (family Circoviridae) are small, non-enveloped viruses that have short, single-stranded DNA genomes. Circovirus sequences are frequently recovered in metagenomic investigations, indicating that these viruses are widespread, yet they remain ...

Electroejaculation and semen analysis and freezing in the giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) [PDF]
Reproduction, 1983 Semen was collected by a standardized electroejaculation procedure from a giant panda on 4 occasions. Ejaculate volume, sperm count and % sperm motility were 2.3-3.6 ml, 62-562 x 10(6) spermatozoa/ml and 45-85%, respectively. The results, although limited to a single male, suggested a seasonal influence on ejaculate and gonadal parameters with improved

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.Our study investigated the microbiomes of suprapubic and sternal scent glands in two wild tamarin species to explore their putative roles in odor production and communication. Using metagenomic sequencing, we identified 18 odor‐associated microbial taxa and 26 related metabolic pathways, finding significant differences in microbial diversity and ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.The protection gap of high‐suitability habitat patches in national parks has decreased by 36.94%, compared with nature reserves. The loss of high‐suitability habitat patches in natural development scenario, with decreased 181 km2 in national park scenario by 2030. ABSTRACT The Qinling Mountains, recognized as a biodiversity hotspot, are included in the

International Journal of Biological Sciences, 2007 RPLP1 is one of acidic ribosomal phosphoproteins encoded by RPLP1 gene, which plays an important role in the elongation step of protein synthesis. The cDNA of RPLP1 was cloned successfully for the first time from the Giant Panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca ...

Gut microbiota in reintroduction of giant panda
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Reintroduction is a key approach in the conservation of endangered species. In recent decades, many reintroduction projects have been conducted for conservation purposes, but the rate of success has been low. Given the important role of gut microbiota in

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.Our findings provide a robust basis for future studies focused on revealing the mechanisms of animal–plant–soil interactions during the restoration of damaged ecosystems. Moreover, this study provides an example reference for guiding ecosystem restoration practices and makes up for the shortcomings of current research to promote the improvement of ...

Sympatric speciation in an age-structured population living on a lattice [PDF]
, 2004 A square lattice is introduced into the Penna model for biological aging in order to study the evolution of diploid sexual populations under certain conditions when one single locus in the individual's genome is considered as identifier of species.
