Diet Overlap Between Livestock and Wild Herbivores in the Greater Himalaya
Understanding the niche usage and dietary habits of wild ungulate populations is crucial to monitoring their response to livestock grazing and changes in habitat quality. Livestock grazing is common throughout the Himalaya and may reduce available forage

Morphology of the lingual papillae of the bharal (Pseudois nayaur).
We examined the dorsal lingual surfaces of an adult bharal (Pseudois nayaur) by scanning electron microscopy. The filiform papillae of the lingual apex and body consisted of a main papilla and smaller secondary papillae. The filiform papilla of the lingual body was big as compared to that of the lingual apex. The connective tissue cores of the filiform

Cardiopulmonary Hemodynamics of Blue-Sheep, Pseudois nayaur, as High-Altitude Adapted Mammals
The blue-sheep, pika, and yak live in the Tibetan highlands at an altitude of 6,100 m and are typical mammals adapted to high-altitudes. These animals have a long history of habitation at high-altitudes and are considered to be "animals completely adapted to high-altitudes" because of their physiological and morphological traits that are well adapted ...
