Y‐Chromosome Genetic Characterization Supports the Establishment of Calving Centered Protected Areas for Tibetan Antelope Conservation [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii), the flagship species of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, is renowned for its hardiness and resistance to low oxygen. Most of the previous studies focused on mitochondria and autosomes, with fewer studies related to the ...

Uncovering rearrangements in the Tibetan antelope via population-derived genome refinement and comparative analysis with homologous species [PDF]

Frontiers in Genetics
Introduction: The Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii) is a remarkable mammal thriving in the extreme Qinghai-Tibet Plateau conditions. Despite the availability of its genome sequence, limitations in the scaffold-level assembly have hindered a ...

Climate Change and Biotic Interactions Will Change the Distributions of Ungulates on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau [PDF]

Animals
Species interactions are crucial for understanding how species will respond to future climate change. Incorporating interspecific relationships into mammalian distribution prediction models will significantly impact model outcomes, especially those for ...

In vivo and in vitro development of Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii) interspecific cloned embryos [PDF]

Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering, 2014
The Tibetan antelope is endemic to the Tibetan Plateau, China, and is now considered an endangered species. As a possible rescue strategy, the development of embryos constructed by interspecies somatic cell nuclear transfer (iSCNT) was examined.

Total population reports are ill-suited for global biomass estimation of wild animals. [PDF]

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
Greenspoon et al. (1) used of global population estimates of 392 mammal species to predict the global biomass of mammals. We caution against important limitations in their approach, which likely results in gross underestimations of biomass and its ...

A mitochondrial genome sequence of the Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii). [PDF]

Genomics Proteomics Bioinformatics, 2005
Abstract To investigate genetic mechanisms of high altitude adaptations of native mammals on the Tibetan Plateau, we compared mitochondrial sequences of the endangered Pantholops hodgsonii with its lowland distant relatives Ovis aries and Capra hircus, as well as other mammals. The complete mitochondrial genome of P. hodgsonii (16,498 bp)
