The giant panda gut microbiome
Trends in Microbiology, 2015Giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) are bamboo specialists that evolved from carnivores. Their gut microbiota probably aids in the digestion of cellulose and this is considered an example of gut microbiota adaptation to a bamboo diet. However, this issue remains unresolved and further functional and compositional studies are needed.

Oikos, 1987
The phylogeny of the pandas has recently been actively debated (O'Brien et al. 1985, Kurten 1985, Tagle et al. 1986, Van Valen 1986). Mayr (1986), in a review, argued that the evidence in favour of assigning the giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) to the family Ursidae (bears) is overwhelming, even in the light of ostensibly conflicting data from ...

The metabolic rates of giant panda and red panda
2021The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is one of the most endangered vertebrates and an iconic symbol of conservation. While progress has been made in understanding its genome, landscape ecology and anthropogenic effects on its populations, many aspects of its biology are unknown.

Fine-Grained Giant Panda Identification
ICASSP 2020 - 2020 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP), 2020The image-based fine-grained identification of individual giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is an emerging technology, and it is extraordinarily challenging due to the extremely subtle visual differences between individual giant pandas and limited annotated training data.

Perfluorooctanesulfonate and Perfluorooctanoate in Red Panda and Giant Panda from China
Environmental Science & Technology, 2006Perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) are important perfluorochemicals (PFCs) in various applications. Recently, it has been shown that these compounds are widespread in the environment, wildlife, and humans. The giant panda and the red panda belong to the order Carnivora, but are highly specialized as bamboo feeders.

HABITAT USE AND SEPARATION BETWEEN THE GIANT PANDA AND THE RED PANDA
Journal of Mammalogy, 2000Habitat use and separation between 2 sympatric species, the giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) and the red panda (Ailurus fulgens), were studied in Yele Natural Reserve, Mianning County of Sichuan Province, China, to elucidate the coexistence of these specialized carnivores.

Nature, 1973
EXOTIC habitat, rarity, striking coloration, and an appealing countenance have combined to surround the giant panda (Ailuropda melanoleuca) with an aura of mystery unmatched by most other mammals. Nonetheless, we really know little about the species, a lack perhaps best exemplified by the long-standing controversy about the giant panda's phylogenetic ...

Molecular analysis of dispersal in giant pandas
Molecular Ecology, 2007AbstractAlthough dispersal in the giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is a demographic mechanism which can potentially counteract the negative effect of habitat fragmentation, little is known about dispersal in this species because of difficulties in observing individuals.

The giant panda is one of the world's most recognized animals. With the environment undergoing unprecedented change at a rapid and accelerating rate, can such a highly specialized species survive? This 2006 book summarizes panda biology and encompasses topics such as reproduction, behaviour, nutrition, genetics and veterinary medicine. It also provides

Eco-Compensation for Giant Panda Habitat
Science, 2013China's achievements in giant panda conservation ([ 1 ][1]) are now jeopardized by recent tenure reform of its 167 million hectares of collective forest ([ 2 ][2]). The reform enables individual farming households to transfer or lease operation rights to outside enterprises.
