Ecological‐Linguistic Overlap: The Spatial Congruence Between Giant Panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) Habitats and Southwestern Mandarin [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Our analysis reveals a significant spatial congruence between the distribution of giant pandas and Southwestern Mandarin in China. Based on the national census, 93.62% of wild pandas reside in counties where this dialect predominates, a pattern supported by strong statistical evidence (Schoener's D = 0.92).
