Habitat Use and Selection by Giant Pandas

PLOS ONE, 2016
Animals make choices about where to spend their time in complex and dynamic landscapes, choices that reveal information about their biology that in turn can be used to guide their conservation. Using GPS collars, we conducted a novel individual-based analysis of habitat use and selection by the elusive and endangered giant pandas (Ailuropoda ...

Biochemical Characteristics of Urine Metabolomics in Female Giant Pandas at Different Estrous Stages

Animals
The composition of urinary metabolites can reflect the physiological state of animals. Investigating the alterations in urine metabolomics during the estrus stage can provide valuable insights for enhancing the efficacy of estrus monitoring.

Single‐cell mRNA sequencing of giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) seminoma reveals the cellular and molecular characteristics of tumour cells

Veterinary Medicine and Science
Testicular tumours are zoonoses that can occur in not only human, but other animals, include giant pandas. A middle‐aged male giant panda named Fufu was diagnosed with a testicular tumour and underwent surgery to remove the entire left testis. The testis

Phase Structure of Compact Star in Modified Quark-Meson Coupling Model

, 2007
The K$^-$ condensation and quark deconfinement phase transitions are investigated in the modified quark-meson coupling model. It is shown that K$^-$ condensation is suppressed because of the quark deconfinement when $B^{1/4}$1.68M$_{\odot}$ is confirmed,

Research on the Changes in Distribution and Habitat Suitability of the Chinese Red Panda Population

Animals
The study of the dynamics of species habitat is of great significance for maintaining or adjusting the current habitat protection management strategy. However, the current research on the Chinese red panda’s habitat is limited to the analysis of a single
