Giant pandas in captivity undergo short-term adaptation in nerve-related pathways

BMC Zoology
Background Behaviors in captive animals, including changes in appetite, activity level, and social interaction, are often seen as adaptive responses. However, these behaviors may become progressively maladaptive, leading to stress, anxiety, depression ...

Velociraptor Machine Learning Quantifies Similarity to Known Cell Types and Matches Cells Across Flow and Imaging Cytometry Platforms

Cytometry Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Suspension flow cytometry enables high‐throughput cellular profiling at the single cell level, but these data lack positional information. Conversely, tissue‐based imaging cytometry techniques reveal a cell's location within the tissue architecture and can provide insight into cell biology.

Patterns of Genetic Diversity in Remaining Giant Panda Populations

, 2001
The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is among the more familiar symbols of species conservation. The protection of giant panda populations has been aided recently by the establishment of more and better-managed reserves in existing panda habitat ...
