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

Animals (Basel)
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 ...

Ensemble Modeling Reveals Severe Contraction of Dhole's (<i>Cuon alpinus</i> Pallas, 1811) Suitable Habitat and Future Climate Refugia Across China. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The dhole (Cuon alpinus), an endangered carnivore species and one of China's highest‐level protected animals, faces significant threats from both climate change and human disturbance. Since the 1980s, dhole habitat has dramatically shrunk by approximately half, with the current main stronghold being the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau.

Seasonal Migration and Home Ranges of Tibetan Antelopes (Pantholops hodgsonii) Based on Satellite Tracking

International Journal of Zoological Research, 2016
ArticleBackground: Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii) , an endemic species of the Tibetan Plateau listed on IUCN Red List, migrates over the long distances for calving. It has an unequal feature that only females do seasonal migration.

Identifying Conservation and Conflict Zones for Tibetan Brown Bears Under Climate Change Through Integrated Habitat and Prey Modeling on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study evaluates the future habitat dynamics of the Tibetan brown bear on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau under climate change by integrating predator–prey relationships and environmental variables using the MaxEnt model. Results show significant habitat contraction and shifting patterns, increasing the risk of human‐bear conflict.

Differences in Dietary Composition and Interspecific Competition Among Large Carnivores on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study elucidated the mechanisms underlying regional coexistence among the snow leopard (Panthera uncia), wolf (Canis lupus), and brown bear (Ursus arctos) through the analysis of their trophic niches. The findings provide a scientific foundation for further investigation into the mechanisms that maintain carnivore communities in high‐altitude ...

Recent geological events and intrinsic behavior influence the population genetic structure of the chiru and tibetan gazelle on the tibetan plateau. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The extent to which a species responds to environmental changes is mediated not only by extrinsic processes such as time and space, but also by species-specific ecology.

Multi-omics reveal the gut microbiota-mediated severe foraging environment adaption of small wild ruminants in the Three-River-Source National Park, China. [PDF]

Integr Zool
This research reveals the gut microbiota‐mediated severe foraging environment adaptation of wild small ruminants in the Three‐River‐Source National Park. Unlike Tibetan sheep (TS), blue sheep (PN and Tibetan antelope (TA) often grazed low‐quality herbage in a wildness environment, and the higher microbial diversity and resilient network characteristics

Climate Change and Human Pressure: Assessing the Vulnerability of Snow Leopard (<i>Panthera uncia</i>) Habitat Integrated With Prey Distribution on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
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‐
