Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.We challenge a major paradigm in mammalian ecology by demonstrating female‐biased dispersal in an artiodactyl, the endangered Chinese water deer. This key behavioral mechanism drives high gene flow across a fragmented landscape, effectively creating a genetic rescue effect that maintains population connectivity and counters inbreeding.

How Does the Phasianidae Maintain Its Diversity in Central China?
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT The hypothesis of allopatric speciation suggests that spatial separation is the major driver to speciation. The ecological niche theory suggests that differentiations in niche dimensions allow more species to co‐exist in ecological communities.

Personality, Stereotypy, and Responses to Crate Entry in Captive Giant Pandas
AnimalsUnderstanding how individual personality traits relate to stress and abnormal behaviors is essential for improving animal welfare and management. However, few studies have quantitatively examined these relationships in giant pandas.

Giant panda behavior across a coupled human and natural system
, 2014 Animals interact with their environments in complex ways across space and time. These interactions are in turn influenced by human activities that take place across dynamic coupled human and natural systems.

Ubiquitous Love or Not? Animal Welfare and Animal-Informed Consent in Giant Panda Tourism
, 2023 Scholars argue that the ubiquity of the “virtual panda”—the panda people meet in zoos and consume as souvenirs, online memes, or videos—exists in a state of hybridity between wild and domesticated.

Early Post‐Release Movement Convergence in Reintroduced Giant Pandas
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.We used high‐frequency GPS tracking of eight reintroduced giant pandas (474 tracking days) to test how extreme energetic constraints shape movement during early post‐release adjustment. Principal component analysis of ten daily movement metrics revealed two independent movement axes (exploration–exploitation and tortuosity–consistency), and an ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.This study, through a large‐scale survey, reveals a close relationship between plateau pika habitat use preferences and geomorphic and soil characteristics. The findings indicate that pikas prefer flat, sun‐facing terrain near water sources, as well as specific ranges of soil depth, organic matter, and moisture.
