Conservation: Threatened by Luxury. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
When animals are traded in lucrative international luxury markets, individuals really do matter to conservation. Identifying the intrinsic and extrinsic factors that make some species especially vulnerable to this kind of threat helps set guidelines for ...

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

open access: yesEcology 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.

Streptococcus chenjunshii sp. nov. isolated from feces of Tibetan antelopes

open access: yesInternational Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2019
Three Gram-stain-positive, catalase-negative, α-haemolytic, chain-forming and coccus-shaped microorganisms (strains Z15T, Z1 and Z2) were isolated from feces of Tibetan antelopes collected from the Qinghai–Tibet plateau, PR China. The results of 16S rRNA gene sequence studies indicated that Z15T shared 94.5, 93.1 and 92.2 % similarity with

An Experimental Study on the Influence of Tibetan Antelope Conservation Documentary on Audience

open access: yesIOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2020
Abstract From the perspective of human activities, survival and development, the documentary on the protection of Tibetan antelope reveals the current situation of the survival crisis of rare and wild Tibetan antelope, and shows the panoramic ecology of the competition between hunters and guardians.

Paracoccus liaowanqingii sp. nov., isolated from Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii)

open access: yesInternational Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2020
Two strains, designated 2251T and 3058, that were aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, coccoid or short rod-shaped bacilli, have recently been isolated from Tibetan antelopes on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The results of phylogenetic analyses of 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strains 2251T and 3058 represent a new species within the genus

Civilising the Citizens: Political Slogans and the Right to the City [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This paper focuses on the artwork of Chinese artist Zhang Dali entitled ‘The Slogan Series.’ Zhang uses a particular technique of text and image juxtaposition to engage with the civic political slogans that were plastered on the streets of Beijing on the

The accelerating influence of humans on mammalian macroecological patterns over the late Quaternary [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The transition of hominins to a largely meat-based diet ~1.8 million years ago led to the exploitation of other mammals for food and resources. As hominins, particularly archaic and modern humans, became increasingly abundant and dispersed across the ...

Studying collective animal behaviour with drones and computer vision

open access: yesMethods 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 ...

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

open access: yes, 2019
Abstract Population 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 ...
