The Science Underlying Giant Panda Conservation Translocations. [PDF]

Animals (Basel), 2023
The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is the flagship species of animal conservation worldwide, and the number of captive pandas reached 673 in 2021. According to the Fourth National Survey Report on the Giant Panda, there are 1864 wild pandas, segregated into 33 local populations, and 25 of these populations are too small to be self-sustaining.

Intestinal acetic acid regulates the synthesis of sex pheromones in captive giant pandas [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
As a typical solitary animal, adult giant pandas rely on chemical signals (sex pheromones) to transmit reproductive information during oestrous. Although researchers have confirmed that the gut microbiota is related to the emission and reception of sex ...

Changes in the milk metabolome of the giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) with time after birth: Three phases in early lactation and progressive individual differences [PDF]

, 2015
Ursids (bears) in general, and giant pandas in particular, are highly altricial at birth. The components of bear milks and their changes with time may be uniquely adapted to nourish relatively immature neonates, protect them from pathogens, and support ...
