Observing giant panda habitat and forage abundance from space [PDF]

, 2009
Giant pandas are obligate bamboo grazers. The bamboos favoured by giant pandas are typical forest understorey plants. Therefore, the availability and abundance of understorey bamboo is a key factor in determining the quantity and quality of giant ...

Dietary microbiota-mediated shifts in gut microbial ecology and pathogen interactions in giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca)

Communications Biology
The impact of dietary microorganisms on host microbiota is recognized, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study examined the effects of bamboo surface microbiota, including virulence factors, antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), and mobile

Putative trait‐based retention of oral‐derived microbes along the oral–gut axis in bamboo‐eating pandas

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Compared with the two herbivorous comparison species, pandas showed higher estimated oral‐source contributions and enrichment of microbial traits associated with facultative anaerobiosis, biofilm formation, and stress tolerance. These patterns are consistent with a model in which greater oral microbial input and putative host filtering may jointly ...

The WTP for property rights for the Giant Panda: can a charismatic species be an instrument for conservation of natural habitat? [PDF]

, 2002
The paper presents the results from a stated preference study to address issues concerning the potential for using flag-ship species, such as the Giant Panda, to purchase the property rights for the conservation of natural habitat. The study finds, first,

Inferring Brown Bear Hair Snare Interactions by Automatically Detecting Bipedalism on Camera Trap Images Using Pose Estimation and a Multilayer Perceptron

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This study proposes an automated method to infer brown bear hair snare interactions by detecting bipedal behavior in camera‐trap images using a pose estimation model and a multilayer perceptron (MLP). A YOLO‐based model, fine‐tuned from humans and dogs to a custom dataset, achieved high performance (≈93% keypoint precision and ≈96% classification ...

Giant panda behaviour recognition using images

, 2021
Monitoring giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) behaviour is critical for their conservation and understanding their health conditions. Currently, captive giant panda behaviour is usually monitored by their caregivers.

Citizen Science for Individual Identification of Pine Martens Martes martes From Camera Trap Footage

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Camera traps generate large volumes of wildlife footage, but identifying animals to the individual level remains challenging and time‐consuming. Using European pine martens in the Forest of Dean as a case study, we assessed whether citizen scientists could identify individuals from camera trap photos and videos.

Regional Prediction of Soil Nutrient Availability and Management Using Portable X‐Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry

X-Ray Spectrometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Portable x‐ray fluorescence (pXRF) spectroscopy has emerged as a rapid and cost‐effective technique for soil elemental analysis; however, its application for predicting available nutrients and supporting agronomic decision making remains insufficiently evaluated under field conditions.
