Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.Our study investigated the microbiomes of suprapubic and sternal scent glands in two wild tamarin species to explore their putative roles in odor production and communication. Using metagenomic sequencing, we identified 18 odor‐associated microbial taxa and 26 related metabolic pathways, finding significant differences in microbial diversity and ...

The molecular determinants of small-molecule ligand binding at P2X receptors [PDF]
, 2018 P2X receptors are trimeric eukaryotic ATP-gated cation channels. Extracellular ATP - their physiological ligand - is released as a neurotransmitter and in conditions of cell damage such as inflammation, and substantial evidence implicates P2X receptors ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.Our findings provide a robust basis for future studies focused on revealing the mechanisms of animal–plant–soil interactions during the restoration of damaged ecosystems. Moreover, this study provides an example reference for guiding ecosystem restoration practices and makes up for the shortcomings of current research to promote the improvement of ...

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 6, November 2025.If an animal eats a large amount of a diet of a low content of a macronutrient, it can still ingest a considerable amount of that macronutrient. Various animals have been shown to balance nutrient content with intake in this way. We use the brown bear Ursus arctos as a model species, given their recent classification as ‘low protein omnivores', to show

Establish a special conservation zone for the captive giant panda
Ecosystem Health and Sustainability, 2018 The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is recognized worldwide as an icon for wildlife conservation. Since the introduction in 1992 of reliable methods for artificial insemination, the population of captive pandas has grown to approximately 350 ...

Highway increases concentrations of toxic metals in giant panda habitat [PDF]
, 2016 The Qinling panda subspecies (Ailuropoda melanoleuca qinlingensis) is highly endangered with fewer than 350 individuals inhabiting the Qinling Mountains. Previous studies have indicated that giant pandas are exposed to heavy metals, and a possible source
