Giant Panda Identification

IEEE Transactions on Image Processing, 2021
The lack of automatic tools to identify giant panda makes it hard to keep track of and manage giant pandas in wildlife conservation missions. In this paper, we introduce a new Giant Panda Identification (GPID) task, which aims to identify each individual panda based on an image.

Giant pandas are losing their edge: Population trend and distribution dynamic drivers of the giant panda

Global Change Biology, 2023
Comprehending the population trend and understanding the distribution range dynamics of species are necessary for global species protection. Recognizing what causes dynamic distribution change is crucial for identifying species' environmental preferences

Complex effects of habitat amount and fragmentation on functional connectivity and inbreeding in a giant panda population

, 2022
The relationships between habitat amount and fragmentation level and functional connectivity and inbreeding remain unclear. Thus, we used genetic algorithms to optimize the transformation of habitat area and fragmentation variables into resistance ...

The giant panda gut microbiome

Trends in Microbiology, 2015
Giant 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.

Functional responses of giant panda gut microbiota to high-fiber diets

Ursus
: Responses of diverse gut microbiota affect the host's nutrient metabolism and disease immunity. However, giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) have a low diversity of gut microbiota, and the reasons for this low diversity and its impact are poorly ...

Single-cell RNA-sequencing analysis and characterisation of testicular cells in giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca).

Reproduction, Fertility and Development, 2022
CONTEXT The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is a rare and endangered species to be preserved in China. The giant panda has a low reproductive capacity, and due to the scarcity of samples, studies on testes from giant panda are very limited, with ...

Eco-Compensation for Giant Panda Habitat

Science, 2013
China'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.

Innate Predator Recognition in Giant Pandas

Zoological Science, 2012
Innate predator recognition confers a survival advantage to prey animals. We investigate whether giant pandas exhibit innate predator recognition. We analyzed behavioral responses of 56 naive adult captive giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca), to urine from predators and non-predators and water control.
