Sympatric Distribution of Giant Pandas and Red Pandas in Sichuan Province: Habitat Overlap Patterns and Implications for the Giant Panda's Umbrella Effect [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
In the context of limited biodiversity conservation resources, the umbrella species strategy is considered an efficient conservation approach. This study focuses on the sympatric distribution areas of the giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) and the red ...

Multispin giants [PDF]

Physical Review D, 2004
We examine spherical p-branes in AdS_m x S^n, that wrap an S^p in either AdS_m (p=m-2) or S^n (p=n-2). We first construct a two-spin giant solution expanding in S^n and has spins both in AdS_m and S^n. For (m,n)={(5,5),(4,7),(7,4)}, it is 1/2 supersymmetric, and it reduces to the single-spin giant graviton when the AdS spin vanishes.

Possible Effects of Early Maternal Separation on the Gut Microbiota of Captive Adult Giant Pandas

Animals, 2022
Maternal deprivation (MD) in early life induces dysbiosis in the host gut microbiota, which is a key determinant of abnormal behavior in stress model individuals.

Contrasting Vaginal Bacterial Communities Between Estrus and Non-estrus of Giant Pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca)

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Bacterial infection and imbalance of bacterial community in the genitourinary system of giant panda could affect the reproductive health. In severe cases, it can also lead to abortion.

The Impact of Bamboo Consumption on the Spread of Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Giant Pandas

Veterinary Sciences, 2023
The spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the environment exacerbates the contamination of these genes; therefore, the role plants play in the transmission of resistance genes in the food chain requires further research.

Isolation and characterization of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) from red panda (Ailurus fulgens)

BMC Veterinary Research, 2020
Background Disease prevention and control is a significant part in the ex-situ conservation of the endangered red panda (Ailurus fulgens), being bacterial infection is one of the most important health threats to the captive population.
