Contagious Caprine Pleuropneumonia in Endangered Tibetan Antelope, China, 2012 [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2013
To the Editor: Contagious caprine pleuropneumonia is a severe respiratory disease of goats caused by Mycoplasma capricolum subsp. capripneumoniae (Mccp), a member of the M. mycoides cluster (1). Mccp infection is associated with a 60% mortality rate and 90% illness rate, and the disease can cause substantial losses of livestock (1,2).

Comprehensive profiling of antibiotic resistance, virulence genes, and mobile genetic elements in the gut microbiome of Tibetan antelopes [PDF]

mSystems
Tibetan antelopes, native to high-altitude plateau regions, play an important role in the local ecosystem. Their gut harbors antimicrobial-resistant microbes, including potential pathogens. To explore this, we analyzed 33,925 metagenome-assembled genomes

Identifying Conservation and Conflict Zones for Tibetan Brown Bears Under Climate Change Through Integrated Habitat and Prey Modeling on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study evaluates the future habitat dynamics of the Tibetan brown bear on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau under climate change by integrating predator–prey relationships and environmental variables using the MaxEnt model. Results show significant habitat contraction and shifting patterns, increasing the risk of human‐bear conflict.

Differences in Dietary Composition and Interspecific Competition Among Large Carnivores on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study elucidated the mechanisms underlying regional coexistence among the snow leopard (Panthera uncia), wolf (Canis lupus), and brown bear (Ursus arctos) through the analysis of their trophic niches. The findings provide a scientific foundation for further investigation into the mechanisms that maintain carnivore communities in high‐altitude ...

Microsatellite Loci Analysis Reveals Post-bottleneck Recovery of Genetic Diversity in the Tibetan Antelope. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2016
The Tibetan antelope (chiru, Pantholops hodgsoni) is one of the most endangered mammals native to the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. The population size has rapidly declined over the last century due to illegal hunting and habitat damage. In the past 10 years,
