Responses of Tibetan antelope population to environment changes during the Holocene

Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology
Tibetan antelope (Chiru, Pantholops hodgsonii), an endemic species of the Tibet Plateau, inhabits the open alpine and desert steppe areas ranging 3250 to 5500 m altitude. In the past decades, the antelope population has been significantly affected by human activities, including massive illegal hunting, followed by strict protection policies and ...

Evolutionary Analysis of Hypoderma Pantholopsum in Tibetan Antelopes on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau

Acta Parasitologica
Hypoderma pantholopsum is a parasite that parasitizes Tibetan antelopes (Pantholops hodgsonii). This study aims was to reveal the genetic diversity within H. pantholopsum and contribute to the protection of Tibetan antelope.H. pantholopsum was subjected to mitochondrial genome sequencing, annotation, and phylogenetic analysis. PhyloSuite and BEAST were

Georgenia faecalis sp. nov. isolated from the faeces of Tibetan antelope

Journal of Microbiology, 2020
Two aerobic, Gram-stain-positive, non-motile, non-sporulating coccoid strains, designated ZLJ0423T and ZLJ0321, were isolated from the faeces of Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii). Their optimal temperature, NaCl concentration and pH for growth were 28°C, 0.5% (w/v) NaCl and pH 7.5, respectively.

Measures to Protect the Tibetan Antelope Under the CITES Framework

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2007
The unique and beautiful Tibetan antelope, or chiru, is in imminent danger of extinction from illegal hunting. At current rates of hunting, the species may be extinct in the wild within two years. The chiru is hunted for its underfur, which is used to make a very fine wool called "shahtoosh." The problem is international: Chiru are hunted in China and ...

Interspecies nuclear transfer of Tibetan antelope using caprine oocyte as recipient

Molecular Reproduction and Development, 2006
AbstractInterspecies nuclear transfer is an invalulable tool for studying nucleus–cytoplasm interactions; and at the same time, it provides a possible alternative to clone endangered animals whose oocytes are difficult to obtain. In the present study, we investigated the possibility of cloning Tibetan antelope embryos using abattoir‐derived caprine ...

[Comparisons of endocrine hormones levels between Tibetan antelope and Tibetan sheep].

Sheng li xue bao : [Acta physiologica Sinica], 2013
The Tibetan antelope, a prototype mammal, has developed a unique adaptation to extreme high altitude-associated hypoxia. To investigate the role of the endocrine system in adaptation to high altitude in the Tibetan antelope, comparisons of endocrine hormones levels between Tibetan antelope (n = 9) and Tibetan sheep (n = 10) were performed.

Tibetan Antelope and Shahtoosh Shawl: A Brief History

2018
Shahtoosh shawl production in Kashmir has a long history. Various historical, political and social factors have influenced the present state of the shawl industry, now on the verge of decline due to the international ban on shahtoosh. While scientific knowledge traces the source of shahtoosh as the Tibetan antelope, the skilled craftspeople in Kashmir ...

[Study on mitochondrial DNA genetic diversity of Tibetan antelope].

Yi chuan = Hereditas, 2009
With noninvasive DNA genotyping technology, we investigated genetic diversity of Tibetan antelope by analyzing mitochondrial DNA variationìthose samples are collected from Hoh Xil National Nature Reserve, Qinghai province, China. A total of 444-446 bp of the mitochondrial control region was sequenced form 10 individuals. The results showed that A% + T%(
