Quantifying the Evolution of Giant Panda Habitats in Sichuan Province under Different Scenarios

Diversity, 2022
The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is a relic species in China and a flagship species in the field of endangered wildlife conservation. The conservation of the giant panda’s habitat has gained widespread attention for this reason.

Wolf howls encode both sender- and context-specific information [PDF]

, 2018
Loud, long-distance calls serve varied functions across animal species including marking territory, attracting mates and signalling one's identity. Here, we examined the types of sender- and context-specific information encoded in the howls of captive ...

Unveiling Novel Viral Diversity, Biogeography, and Host Networks in Wildlife Through High‐Throughput Sequencing Data Mining

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 46, December 11, 2025.
Analysis of 57 536 high‐throughput sequencing datasets uncovers a vast, hidden world of viruses in wildlife. The researchers reveal significant geographic and host‐specific patterns of viruses, and their surprising cross‐species transmissions, such as avian flu viruses infecting goats.

Morphology and function of pinniped necks: The long and short of it

The Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 12, Page 3175-3185, December 2025.
Abstract Terrestrial vertebrates from at least 30 distinct lineages in both extinct and extant clades have returned to aquatic environments. With these transitions came numerous morphological adaptations to accommodate life in water. Relatively little attention has been paid to the cervical region when tracking this transition.

Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor Stimulates the Proliferation of Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Giant Panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca).

PLoS ONE, 2015
It has been widely known that the giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is one of the most endangered species in the world. An optimized platform for maintaining the proliferation of giant panda mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is very necessary for current ...

Vocal discrimination of potential mates by female giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) [PDF]

Biology Letters, 2009
In the current study, we used male giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) bleats in a habituation–discrimination paradigm to determine whether females discriminate between the vocalizations of different males. We found that females habituated to the bleats of a specific male showed a significant dishabituation when they were presented with bleats from a ...

Downlisting and recovery of species assessed by the IUCN

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2025.
Abstract Despite the increasing number of species assessed for extinction risk by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) (163,040 species as of 2024), only about 1 in 1,000 have been downlisted due to genuine population improvement. Although this rare conservation achievement has been widely celebrated in several recent cases, some ...

Prospective study on the excretion of mucous stools and its association with age, gender, and feces output in captive giant pandas [PDF]

, 2019
The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) has evolved a large number of mucous glands in the intestinal lining to adapt to the digestion of high-fiber foods.

Deriving the functional significance of olfaction in a solitary non‐territorial herbivore: The bare‐nosed wombat Vombatus ursinus

Journal of Zoology, Volume 327, Issue 4, Page 386-397, December 2025.
We investigated communication in the bare‐nosed wombat (Vombatus ursinus), which is distinctive for depositing its cube‐shaped scats in latrines. We found that bare‐nosed wombats possess a vomeronasal organ for olfactory signal reception, associate their latrines with features in their landscape (particularly rocks, logs, and burrow entrances), have ...
