Specialized Feeding Behavior of an Endangered Primate Enhances Forest Health in China
The endangered black‐and‐white snub‐nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus bieti) exhibits a specialized diet on the lichen Usnea longissima. We proved that the U. longissima is harmful to trees and the monkey mitigates overgrowth of the lichen, as well as promotes its regeneration to maintain population, thereby promoting ecosystem health and resilience.

This study analyzed the habitat suitability of the tufted deer, a rare and endemic ungulate in China, using the MaxEnt model and found that suitable habitats are mainly concentrated in Sichuan, Guizhou, and Yunnan provinces. However, the majority of these areas are not covered by existing protected areas, highlighting the urgent need to expand ...

Relationship Between Testosterone and Movement Patterns in Male Asian Black Bear (Ursus thibetanus)
Comparisons of mean fecal testosterone metabolite concentrations (mFTM) and behavioral variables between the breeding (May–July) and post‐breeding (August–November) seasons. The asterisks indicate significant differences. ABSTRACT In male mammals, reproduction and reproductive behavior are strongly influenced by testosterone. While some species exhibit

An Energetic Tradeoff Best Explains Parturition Timing in Grizzly Bears
Capitalizing on latitudinal denning‐chronology variation among four grizzly bear populations in interior North America, and using grizzly bear parturition dates (27 Dec–28 Feb) previously predicted from anomalous daily motion counts, we found evidence supporting the hypothesis that birth is optimally timed relative to den exit to balance an energetic ...
