The next widespread bamboo flowering poses a massive risk to the giant panda [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The IUCN Red List has downgraded several species from “endangered” to “vulnerable” that still have largely unknown extinction risks. We consider one of those downgraded species, the giant panda, a bamboo specialist.

Contrasting Vaginal Bacterial Communities Between Estrus and Non-estrus of Giant Pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca)

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Bacterial infection and imbalance of bacterial community in the genitourinary system of giant panda could affect the reproductive health. In severe cases, it can also lead to abortion.

Prolonged transition time between colostrum and mature milk in a bear, the giant panda, Ailuropoda melanoleuca [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Bears produce the most altricial neonates of any placental mammal. We hypothesized that the transition from colostrum to mature milk in bears reflects a temporal and biochemical adaptation for altricial development and immune protection.

Fecal Metabolomics Reveals the Foraging Strategies of Giant Pandas for Different Parts of Bamboo

open access: yesAnimals, 2023
Climate change-induced food shortages pose major threats to wildlife conservation, and the exclusive reliance of giant pandas on bamboo makes them particularly vulnerable.

Intestinal acetic acid regulates the synthesis of sex pheromones in captive giant pandas

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2023
As a typical solitary animal, adult giant pandas rely on chemical signals (sex pheromones) to transmit reproductive information during oestrous. Although researchers have confirmed that the gut microbiota is related to the emission and reception of sex ...

Combined urine metabolomics and 16S rDNA sequencing analyses reveals physiological mechanism underlying decline in natural mating behavior of captive giant pandas

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The decline in natural mating behavior is the primary reason underlying in the poor population growth of captive giant pandas. However, the influencing factors and underlying mechanisms remain unclear to data. It is speculated that the decline in natural

Giant panda protection: challenges and hopes [PDF]

open access: yesEnvironmental Science and Pollution Research, 2019
In this paper, we discussed some major issues that hinder giant panda protection, such as diverse and mixed threats, habitat fragmentation, as well as the survey method to be improved, and some new protection actions appeared, such as the pilot program for the giant panda national park system and the administration of the giant panda national park was ...

Characterization of the complete mitogenome sequence of the giant panda tick Haemaphysalis hystricis

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
The blood-sucking tick Haemaphysalis hystricis is a common ectoparasite of the giant panda and represents a significant threat to both wild and captive populations. Herein, the complete mitogenome of H.

Learning to rank using privileged information [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Many computer vision problems have an asymmetric distribution of information between training and test time. In this work, we study the case where we are given additional information about the training data, which however will not be available at test ...
