Mitochondrial Genomes Reveal an Explosive Radiation of Extinct and Extant Bears near the Miocene-Pliocene Boundary [PDF]

, 2008
Background: Despite being one of the most studied families within the Carnivora, the phylogenetic relationships among the members of the bear family (Ursidae) have long remained unclear.

Giant panda behaviour recognition using images

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021
Monitoring giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) behaviour is critical for their conservation and understanding their health conditions. Currently, captive giant panda behaviour is usually monitored by their caregivers.

Fecal near infrared spectroscopy to discriminate physiological status in giant pandas. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) monitoring and research often require accurate estimates of population size and density. However, obtaining these estimates has been challenging.

MHC-associated Baylisascaris schroederi load informs the giant panda reintroduction program

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2020
Reintroducing captive giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) to the wild is the ultimate goal of their ex situ conservation. Choosing higher fitness candidates to train prior to release is the first step in the giant panda reintroduction program.

Evolution of major histocompatibility complex class I and class II genes in the brown bear [PDF]

, 2012
International audienceBackground: Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) proteins constitute an essential component of the vertebrate immune response, and are coded by the most polymorphic of the vertebrate genes. Here, we investigated sequence variation
