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

open access: yesGlobal 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 ...

Transcriptome sequencing of Crucihimalaya himalaica (Brassicaceae) reveals how Arabidopsis close relative adapt to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The extreme environment of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) provides an ideal natural laboratory for studies on adaptive evolution. Few genome/transcriptome based studies have been conducted on how plants adapt to the environments of QTP compared to ...

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

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

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

open access: yesGlobal 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

open access: yesEcology 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

open access: yesGrassland 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]

open access: yesSCIENTIA 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.

Less is more: rarity trumps quality in luxury markets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The international market for luxury goods has almost doubled since 1990, with a worldwide increase of 10% annually. This trade is fuelled by a great deal of legally and illegally exploited wildlife species, putting enormous pressure on many of them, with
