Study of the Relationship Between Natural Mating Expression and Intestinal Resistance Genes in Captive Adult Giant Pandas

Microbiology Research
A growing body of evidence indicates that the gut microbiota has a role in the mating preference process in mammals. This likely occurs through the modulation of various mating signals induced by symbiotic bacteria, thereby leading to variations in ...

Museomics Deciphers the Phylogeographic Differentiation and Conservation Status of a Montane Pheasant

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Museum specimens provide a rich source of historical DNA, enabling insights into phylogenetic relationships and demographic history of the endangered Koklass Pheasant. Our findings uncovered a previously unrecognized population in Guizhou province and highlighted elevated extinction risk in populations from Anhui province and Southern China, informing ...

Updated Chorotypes of Terrestrial Vertebrates Shed New Light on Zoogeographical Regions in China

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Chorotype represents a fundamental concept for identifying groups of species that share similar distribution patterns. However, the last comprehensive revision of animal chorotypes in China was performed more than a decade ago. Here, we update the chorotype classifications for 1040 species and propose an updated zoogeographical regionalization scheme ...

Gut Microbiota of Gray Snub‐Nosed Monkeys: Adaptation to Seasonal Variations Through Energy Compensation and Thermogenesis

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Based on metagenome‐assembled genomes (MAGs), the gut microbiota of the gray snub‐nosed monkeys recovered 1229 non‐redundant MAGs. The gut microbiota showed an enhanced capacity to produce energy substrates with increased conversion activity of these substrates during winter.

Perfluorooctanesulfonate and Perfluorooctanoate in Red Panda and Giant Panda from China

, 2016
Perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) are important perfluorochemicals (PFCs) in various applications. Recently, it has been shown that these compounds are widespread in the environment, wildlife, and humans.

Spatial Patterns of Avian Stable Isotopes Reveal Ecological Impacts of Climate and Land‐Use Change

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Increased feather δ15N values with pasture coverage reveal an elevated baseline δ15N in grazing landscapes, while broader isotopic niches in farmland habitats reflect agricultural expansion's significant influence on resource use patterns of the avian community.

A Decadal Home‐Range Dynamics and Habitat Shift in Golden Snub‐Nosed Monkey (Rhinopithecus roxellana)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study provides novel insights into the biogeographic patterns of the Sichuan golden snub‐nosed monkey, particularly in terms of habitat suitability and spatial‐use strategies. We found that habitat suitability has expanded over the past decade, with substantial shifts in the environmental factors influencing habitat suitability, from terrain and ...
