Of pandas, fossils, and bamboo forests: ecological niche modeling of the giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) during the Last Glacial Maximum

Journal of Mammalogy, 2021
The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is the most basal living species in the phylogeny of the family Ursidae, with a specialized diet composed of a variety of bamboo species.

CUTANEOUS HEMANGIOMA IN A GIANT PANDA (AILUROPODA MELANOLEUCA)

Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2006
An adult male giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) was presented with a cutaneous mass ventral to the eye. The animal was anesthetized and the mass was surgically excised. Histopathologic examination determined that the mass was a benign cavernous hemangioma, the first reported case in a giant panda.

Single-cell RNA-sequencing analysis and characterisation of testicular cells in giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca).

Reproduction, Fertility and Development, 2022
CONTEXT The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is a rare and endangered species to be preserved in China. The giant panda has a low reproductive capacity, and due to the scarcity of samples, studies on testes from giant panda are very limited, with ...

Giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) neonates use broadband calls to communicate with their mothers.

Integrative Zoology, 2023
Infant call structure should have evolved to elicit maximum maternal attention and investment. Neonates of giant pandas produce three types of vocalizations reported to be vitally important in the context of mother-infant communications.

Microbial species from multiple maternal body sites shape the developing giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) cub gut microbiome

Molecular Ecology, 2023
The gut microbiome of the giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) plays a vital role in nutrient acquisition from its specialized bamboo diet. Giant panda cubs harbour significantly different gut microbiota during their growth and development when feeding ...

Pharmacology of the giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) melanocortin-3 receptor

General and Comparative Endocrinology, 2019
The melanocortin-3 receptor (MC3R) is a member of the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily that plays a critical role in controlling energy balance and metabolism. Although pharmacological characterization of MC3R has been reported previously in several other species, there is no report on the MC3R from giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca).

The vocal repertoire of infant giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca)

Bioacoustics, 2013
Infant giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) are highly vocal during the first fewweeks of their life. Despite this, no previous studies have attempted to systematically categorize infant giant panda vocalizations into different call types. In this study, we used acoustic and video analyses to split infant giant panda vocalizations into three distinct ...

Progress on miRNA in giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca).

Yi chuan = Hereditas, 2021
MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a family of endogenous non-coding RNAs with a length of about 22 nucleotides, are widely found in eukaryotes. miRNAs can affect gene expression through specific bindings with mRNAs of target genes and participate in the regulation of a variety of biological processes.

Physiological Ecology of Soft-released Giant Pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca)

2021
As a researcher and staff of the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding (CRB), I participated in the development of a program to prepare and release captive-born giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) into the wild. The method we have applied, the Assisted Soft Release (ASR), is utilized by conservation translocation programs for a variety of ...
