Leaf Fungal Endophyte Differs Among Plant Functional Groups in an Alpine Meadow

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
The communities of leaf fungal endophyte had significant differences among plant functional groups and were affected by plant abundance and leaf functional traits among them in an alpine meadow. ABSTRACT Although numerous studies have documented the differences in leaf fungal endophyte (LFE) communities among various plant species inhabiting the same ...

Seasonal variation in wild pig (Sus scrofa) diet revealed by DNA metabarcoding

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 1, March 2026.
Using DNA metabarcoding of fecal samples, we investigated the diet of wild pigs at an extensive bottomland hardwood forest ecosystem within Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge in Southern Arkansas. We found that wild pig diet was highly diverse and included at least 74 plant families and 106 genera and 23 species of vertebrates.

Genomic Adaptation, Environmental Challenges, and Sustainable Yak Husbandry in High-Altitude Pastoral Systems

Veterinary Sciences
The yak (Bos grunniens) is a key species in high-altitude rangelands of Asia. Despite their ecological and economic importance, yak production faces persistent challenges, including low milk yields, vulnerability to climate changes, emerging diseases ...

Evolutionary History of the Adult β‐Globin Gene in Wild Sheep: First Sequences From the Argali (Ovis ammon) and the Urial (Ovis vignei)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study addresses a key gap in the understanding of molecular adaptation by providing the first complete adult β‐globin gene sequences for two ecologically significant wild sheep species, the Argali (Ovis ammon) and the Urial (Ovis vignei). ABSTRACT The β‐globin gene cluster is a key model for studying molecular adaptation and gene family evolution ...

Differences in Dietary Composition and Interspecific Competition Among Large Carnivores on the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study elucidated the mechanisms underlying regional coexistence among the snow leopard (Panthera uncia), wolf (Canis lupus), and brown bear (Ursus arctos) through the analysis of their trophic niches. The findings provide a scientific foundation for further investigation into the mechanisms that maintain carnivore communities in high‐altitude ...

Optimizing Cattle, Yak, Camel, and Horse Meat Processing: Species‐Sex Physicochemical Drivers

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
Species primarily determines the nutritional and processing traits of cattle, yak, camel, and horse meats; yak stands out for superior nutrition (high protein/EAA/MUFAs) but requires tenderization, while horse offers greater tenderness but has a darker color and low water‐holding capacity.

Mitochondrial Introgression With Potential Functional Effects in North American Yak

Ecology and Evolution
The domestic yak (Bos grunniens) has experienced introgression with domestic cattle in its native Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau and after introduction to North America (NA), although the extent to which the latter has occurred is not well documented.

The role of the gut microbiome in the regulation of high‐altitude adaptation

iMeta, Volume 5, Issue 1, February 2026.
This study is the first to elucidate mechanisms of high‐altitude adaptation from the perspective of the rumen ecosystem by using indigenous yaks and Holstein cows that have lived at high altitude since birth as comparative models. Through a systematic comparison of their rumen ecology using multi‐omics approaches—including rumen metagenomics ...
