Slight change of glaciers in the Pamir over the period 2000–2017
Glaciers in the Pamir are the water tower of arid Central Asia, and more than 50 million people depend on meltwater from them. Many studies have reported glacier changes in the Pamir, but the glacier inventories employed in the previous investigations ...

Unraveling the Evolutionary History of Snow Sheep (<i>Ovis nivicola</i>): Genome-Wide Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Analysis Reveals Genetic Diversity and Clarifies Taxonomy. [PDF]
This study chronicles all described subspecies of snow sheep (Ovis nivicola) since 1829, reviewing taxonomic assessments by key systematists. Using genome‐wide SNP genotyping on 337 samples from 15 populations, we validate and refine subspecies classifications, revealing eight genetic clusters and proposing a new subspecies (O. n. ernsti).

Two Mw ≥ 6.5 Earthquakes in Central Pamir Constrained by Satellite SAR Observations
The Pamir, situated in central Asia, is a result of the ongoing northward advance of the Indian continent, leading to compression of the Asian landmass. While geodetic and seismic data typically indicate that the most significant deformation in Pamir is ...
