Interactions between host sex and seasonal changes shape the gut microbial communities of wild blue sheep (Pseudois nayaur) [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
The construction of gut microbial communities in wildlife is influenced by both environmental factors and host genetic background. However, the mechanisms through which these factors interact to shape microbial communities remain poorly understood.

Ensemble Modeling Reveals Severe Contraction of Dhole's (<i>Cuon alpinus</i> Pallas, 1811) Suitable Habitat and Future Climate Refugia Across China. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The dhole (Cuon alpinus), an endangered carnivore species and one of China's highest‐level protected animals, faces significant threats from both climate change and human disturbance. Since the 1980s, dhole habitat has dramatically shrunk by approximately half, with the current main stronghold being the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau.

Climate Change and Human Pressure: Assessing the Vulnerability of Snow Leopard (Panthera uncia) Habitat Integrated With Prey Distribution on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Climate change is significantly altering the distribution of large carnivores and their primary prey species, with particular emphasis on the changing prey distribution in high‐altitude regions. The Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau, known for its rich biodiversity,

Why should a grazer browse? Livestock impact on winter resource use by bharal Pseudois nayaur

Oecologia, 2010
Many mammalian herbivores show a temporal diet variation between graminoid-dominated and browse-dominated diets. We determined the causes of such a diet shift and its implications for conservation of a medium-sized ungulate-the bharal Pseudois nayaur ...
