Interactions between host sex and seasonal changes shape the gut microbial communities of wild blue sheep (Pseudois nayaur) [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
The construction of gut microbial communities in wildlife is influenced by both environmental factors and host genetic background. However, the mechanisms through which these factors interact to shape microbial communities remain poorly understood.

Seasonal and Species-Specific Variations in Gut Microbiota of Wild Ungulates in Captivity [PDF]

Animals
Seasonal variation can strongly restructure the gut microbiota of herbivores, but under captive conditions it remains unclear whether these shifts outweigh host-species effects when diet is standardized.

Gut microbiome and diet contribute to ecological niche differentiation between argali (Ovis ammon hodgsoni) and blue sheep (Pseudois nayaur) on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau [PDF]

Communications Biology
The gut microbiota plays a critical role in plant digestion, nutrient absorption, and ecological adaptation in herbivores. However, how gut microbiota and diet jointly influence ecological niche differentiation in sympatric species remains unclear. Here,

Cardiopulmonary Hemodynamics of Blue-Sheep, Pseudois nayaur, as High-Altitude Adapted Mammals

The Japanese Journal of Physiology, 2003
The blue-sheep, pika, and yak live in the Tibetan highlands at an altitude of 6,100 m and are typical mammals adapted to high-altitudes. These animals have a long history of habitation at high-altitudes and are considered to be "animals completely adapted to high-altitudes" because of their physiological and morphological traits that are well adapted ...

Predicting the distributions of predator (snow leopard) and prey (blue sheep) under climate change in the Himalaya. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2016
Future climate change is likely to affect distributions of species, disrupt biotic interactions, and cause spatial incongruity of predator–prey habitats.

Prediction of potential habitat suitability of snow leopard (Panthera uncia) and blue sheep (Pseudois nayaur) and niche overlap in the parts of western Himalayan region

Geo: Geography and Environment, 2023
The snow leopard (Panthera uncia) and blue sheep (Pseudois nayaur) are the inhabitants of remote areas at higher altitudes with extreme geographic and climatic conditions.

Snow Leopard Dietary Preferences and Livestock Predation Revealed by Fecal DNA Metabarcoding: No Evidence for Apparent Competition Between Wild and Domestic Prey

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Accurate assessments of the patterns and drivers of livestock depredation by wild carnivores are vital for designing effective mitigation strategies to reduce human-wildlife conflict. Snow leopard’s (Panthera uncia) range extensively overlaps pastoralist

The Discontinuous Elevational Distribution of an Ungulate at the Regional Scale: Implications for Speciation and Conservation

Animals, 2021
The elevational range where montane species live is a key factor of spatial niche partitioning, because the limits of such ranges are influenced by interspecies interaction, abiotic stress, and dispersal barriers.

Potential impact of trophy hunting on vigilance and flight behaviour in Blue Sheep (Bharal: Pseudois nayaur)

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022
Conservation management is often integrated into a broader tourism context, and under some conditions allows wildlife trophy hunting to support its goals.
