CTNNB1 and CDH1 Regulate Trophoblast Cell Adhesion and Junction Formation in Yak Placental Tissue at Different Gestational Stages

Animals
Yaks (Bos grunniens), which are distributed across the Tibetan Plateau and other high-altitude regions, are vital livestock that provide essential resources for local herders and have significant economic and ecological value [...]

Dietary Glutamine Supplementation Alleviated Rumen Epithelium Oxidative Damage and Apoptosis Induced by Feed Restriction via Maintaining Mitochondrial Homeostasis in Female Yaks

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Dietary glutamine (Gln) supplementation increased the ATP levels and promoted cell proliferation in the rumen epithelium of feed‐restricted yaks. Besides, Gln inhibited ROS accumulation and reduced oxidative damage and apoptosis in the rumen epithelium of feed‐restricted yaks.

Genetic Diversity, Adaptation, Wild Introgression, and Coat Color Mutation of Golden Yak

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Genetic diversity, adaptation, wild introgression, and coat color mutation of golden yak from two populations on the Qinghai‐Xizang Plateau. ABSTRACT The golden yak lives on the Qinghai‐Xizang Plateau with a golden coat and adapts to high altitudes and strong ultraviolet environment. The golden coat is a prominent phenotype in many domesticated species,

The Yak genome database: an integrative database for studying yak biology and high-altitude adaption

BMC Genomics, 2012
Background The yak (Bos grunniens) is a long-haired bovine that lives at high altitudes and is an important source of milk, meat, fiber and fuel. The recent sequencing, assembly and annotation of its genome are expected to further our understanding of ...

Cardiovascular Plasticity and Adaptation of High‐Altitude Birds and Mammals

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This schematic depicts the cardiovascular adaptations of mammals and birds to high‐altitude hypoxia. It highlights key phenotypic changes in oxygen transport and cardiac responses, driven by molecular mechanisms including transcriptional regulation and genetic modifications.

Polygenic and Pleiotropic Adaptation of Yaks to High Altitudes: A Genome‐Wide Study of Hematological and Physiological Traits

Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Hematological adaptation is critical for oxygen transport at high altitudes. While hemoglobin concentration is well‐studied, yak (Bos grunniens) hematology versus lowland cattle remains under‐explored. We analyzed blood phenotypes from 1244 plateau yaks and 154 lowland cattle.

Livestock Depredations and Prevention Strategies to Foster Human‐Carnivore Coexistence in Western Mongolia's High Mountain Systems

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
The implementation of visual deterrents (i.e., Foxlights) proved to be effective in reducing the number of night‐time livestock depredations by both snow leopards and wolves. ABSTRACT The decline of large carnivores and the overabundance of livestock practices contribute significantly to ecosystem degradation.

A Comparison of the Gut Microbiome of Two Sympatric Macropods Along an Urbanisation Gradient in Tasmania

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Our study is the first to explore how macropod gut flora vary across levels of urbanisation, exploring the faecal microbiomes of the red‐bellied pademelon (Thylogale billardierii) and the red‐necked wallaby (Notamacropus rufogriseus rufogriseus). There is some evidence of urbanisation's impacts on the macropod microbiome, although there appear to be ...

Food System Change, Development, and Vulnerability in Semi‐Agricultural Areas of Tibet

Culture, Agriculture, Food and Environment, Volume 48, Issue 1, June 2026.
ABSTRACT With social and economic development, food systems have significantly changed on the Tibetan plateau over the last two decades. However, the impact of dietary change on Tibetans and their communities remains less well known. This article examines how food change happens in semi‐agricultural areas of eastern Tibet within the context of ...
