Updated Chorotypes of Terrestrial Vertebrates Shed New Light on Zoogeographical Regions in China

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Chorotype represents a fundamental concept for identifying groups of species that share similar distribution patterns. However, the last comprehensive revision of animal chorotypes in China was performed more than a decade ago. Here, we update the chorotype classifications for 1040 species and propose an updated zoogeographical regionalization scheme ...

Pangenome analysis reveals the genetic mechanism underlying high‐altitude adaptation in Qinghai–Xizang (Tibet) Plateau Rhododendron

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Pan‐genome analysis reveals that high‐altitude Rhododendron species resist alpine cold stress by rapidly sensing and engaging the chilling response pathway and genes that directly and indirectly protect the plant from UV radiation. Heritable genomic features such as long terminal repeats contribute to the adaptive diversification of Rhododendron ...

A wildlife corridor site selection method based on the habitat suitability assessment of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

Global Ecology and Conservation
The development of transportation infrastructure disrupts wildlife movement, leading to habitat fragmentation and roadkill. While the establishment of wildlife corridors is a global strategy to mitigate these impacts, research on the intersections ...

Diversity Patterns of Domestic Herbivore Viruses in China Reveal Transmission Dynamics with Disease Management Implications

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 32, 9 June 2026.
This study performs pan‐viromic profiling of 14,529 samples from 5,710 domestic herbivores across five Chinese provinces, establishing the DhCN‐Virome (1,085,360 viral metagenomes). It reveals species/sample‐specific viromic signatures and cross‐species transmission dynamics, aiding unified disease control.

Dynamic Lake Ice Conditions Shape Caribou Water‐Crossing Behavior in the Arctic

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 4, April 2026.
Seasonally dynamic ice conditions regulate migratory connectivity in Arctic caribou. In spring, intermediate ice conditions permit direct lake crossings until a behavioral threshold in surface albedo is reached (APR ≈0.56), whereas in fall, ice‐free conditions act as barriers and promote circumnavigations around lakes.

Safeguarding a Flagship Species: Integrated Surveillance of Cross‐Species Pathogen Transmission in Giant Panda Ecosystems

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Emerging infectious diseases increasingly threaten giant pandas and cohabiting species. This review analyzes pathogen transmission risks from domestic animals, wildlife, and vectors and proposes an integrated genomic surveillance framework for early warning and biodiversity conservation.

Transformative changes of pastoral livestock production and its consequences on the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau

Grassland Research, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 35-43, March 2026.
Grassland functional zoning and spatial optimization scheme on the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau. Based on multifunctionality assessment, the scheme proposes allocating 32% of regional grassland as nature reserve grasslands (biodiversity focus), 63% as livestock grazing grasslands (smart ecological–production management), and 5% as cultivated grasslands (high‐

Estimating abundance of Tibetan wild ass, Tibetan gazelle and Tibetan antelope using species distribution model and distance sampling [PDF]

SCIENTIA SINICA Vitae, 2019
There is an urgent need of understanding the distribution and abundance of the key species, Tibetan wild ass ( Equus kiang ), Tibetan gazelle ( Procapra picticaudata ) and Tibetan antelope ( Pantholops hodgsonii ) in the Three-River-Source National Park, especially after the first national park in China established there.

Evolutionary History of the Adult β‐Globin Gene in Wild Sheep: First Sequences From the Argali (Ovis ammon) and the Urial (Ovis vignei)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study addresses a key gap in the understanding of molecular adaptation by providing the first complete adult β‐globin gene sequences for two ecologically significant wild sheep species, the Argali (Ovis ammon) and the Urial (Ovis vignei). ABSTRACT The β‐globin gene cluster is a key model for studying molecular adaptation and gene family evolution ...
