Unraveling the Genetic Diversity of Asian Elephants (Elephas maximus) in China: Implications for the Conservation of Asian Elephants

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
The seven Asian elephant populations in China exhibit low genetic diversity and varying degrees of inbreeding. Mengla population exhibits the highest level of inbreeding and the most significant genetic differentiation from other Chinese populations.

Studying collective animal behaviour with drones and computer vision

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, Page 2229-2259, October 2025.
Abstract Drones are increasingly popular for collecting behaviour data of group‐living animals, offering inexpensive and minimally disruptive observation methods. Imagery collected by drones can be rapidly analysed using computer vision techniques to extract information, including behaviour classification, habitat analysis and identification of ...

Incipient Genetic Differentiation of the African Buffalo, Syncerus caffer Populations: Is Fencing Playing a Role?

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
Isolation by distance indicated that fences play a role in the genetic deterioration of confined species. The weak effects of fencing could be associated with the short period that effective fences have been in place to impact the genetics of the fenced population.

Cascading implications of a single climate change event for fragile ecosystems on the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau

Ecosphere, 2020
With changing climates globally, we see changes in not just average conditions, but also in extreme events, and such events require special attention due to their unpredictable yet significant impact on native biotas. One such event is the formation of a

Genetic Resilience of a Once Endangered Species, Tibetan Antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii) [PDF]

, 2019
AbstractPopulation reduction is generally assumed to reduce the population’s genetic diversity and hence its ability to adapt to environmental change. However, if life history traits that promote gene flow buffer populations from such impacts, conservation efforts should aim to maintain those traits in vulnerable species.

Piezoresistive Effect: A New Concept for Hearing Aids

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 25, July 3, 2025.
An MXene/PVA sound sensor utilizing piezoresistive effects has been proposed with a detection limit of 60 dB and a frequency response of 20–4000 Hz, which is comparable to the performance of commercial hearing aids. By combining the sensor with machine learning, the accuracy rate of voiceprint recognition of wildlife conservation can reach up to 99 ...

Climate Change and Human Pressure: Assessing the Vulnerability of Snow Leopard (Panthera uncia) Habitat Integrated With Prey Distribution on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.
Our study revealed the changing patterns of snow leopards and their main prey distribution areas under different climate change scenarios. ABSTRACT Climate change is significantly altering the distribution of large carnivores and their primary prey species, with particular emphasis on the changing prey distribution in high‐altitude regions. The Qinghai‐

DNA Metabarcoding Illuminates Seasonal Dietary Pattern and Niche Partitioning by Three Sympatric Herbivores

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.
In our research, we found extensive trophic niche overlap based on the trnL metabarcoding sequencing, while dietary partitioning may facilitate species coexistence. Our results provide new insights into seasonal diets and inter‐species relationships for sympatric herbivores.

Overcoming extinction: understanding processes of recovery of the Tibetan antelope

Ecosphere, 2015
Since the middle of the 20th century, the Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii) has been poached for its wool to make luxury shawls, shahtoosh. This direct overexploitation caused a drastic decline in their population, with a loss of more than 90% compared to the baseline population a few decades ago.

Mycetocola zhujimingii sp. nov., isolated from faeces of Tibetan antelopes (Pantholops hodgsonii)

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2019
Strains 449T and 622 are both aerobic, Gram-stain-positive, short, rod-shaped bacilli that were recently isolated from the faeces of Tibetan antelopes on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau in China. Their 16S rRNA gene sequences were most similar to those of Mycetocola zhadangensis
