New Evidence of Tiger Subspecies Differentiation and Environmental Adaptation: Comparison of the Whole Genomes of the Amur Tiger and the South China Tiger [PDF]
Animals, 2022 Panthera tigris is a top predator that maintains the integrity of forest ecosystems and is an integral part of biodiversity. No more than 400 Amur tigers (P. t. altaica) are left in the wild, whereas the South China tiger (P. t.

Metagenomic analysis of captive Amur tiger faecal microbiome [PDF]
BMC Veterinary Research, 2018 Background The gastrointestinal tracts of animals are home to large, complex communities of microbes. The compositions of these communities ultimately reflect the coevolution of microorganisms with their animal host and are influenced by the living ...

Intra- and Interspecific Spatial Temporal Interactions Drive Habitat Selection of Three Sympatric Top Predators. [PDF]
Ecol EvolABSTRACT The population distribution and habitat selection of top predators are critically important for species conservation and habitat management. While previous studies have identified environmental characteristics and food resources as factors influencing animal habitat selection, the roles of potential intra‐ and interspecific competition have ...

Toward Precision Biodiversity Detection: An Edge-Deployable Framework for Mitigating Data Redundancy. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis research introduces the WS—YOLO, a lightweight and high—efficiency wildlife detection model that is specifically optimized for edge deployment within camera trap systems. The goal is to enable both false trigger filtering and accurate animal detection within a single model, tailored for low‐power edge deployment. The proposed method contributes to

Gene expression and immune cell heterogeneity in inbred Amur tiger [PDF]
BMC GenomicsInbreeding leads to a reduction in genetic diversity and an elevated likelihood of expressing recessive defective genes, which adversely affect the development of the immune system and render individuals and populations more susceptible to carcinogenic ...
