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 ...

Morphology, genetic characterization and molecular phylogeny of pinworm Skrjabinema longicaudatum sp. n. (Oxyurida: Oxyuridae) from the endangered Tibetan antelope Pantholops hodgsonii (Abel) (Artiodactyla: Bovidae) [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Abstract Background: The Tibetan antelope Pantholops hodgsonii (Abel) (Artiodactyla: Bovidae) is an endangered species of mammal endemic to the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. Parasites and parasitic diseases are considered to be important threats in the conservation of the Tibetan antelope.

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 ...

Cardiac adaptive mechanisms of Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii) at high altitudes [PDF]

American Journal of Veterinary Research, 2012
Abstract Objective—To identify cardiac mechanisms that contribute to adaptation to high altitudes in Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii). Animals—9 male Tibetan antelope and 10 male Tibetan sheep (Ovis aries). Procedures—Tibetan antelope and Tibetan sheep inhabiting a region with an altitude of 4,300 m were captured, and several cardiac variables ...

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

, 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 ...

Estimating the population size of migrating Tibetan antelopesPantholops hodgsoniiwith unmanned aerial vehicles [PDF]

Oryx, 2018
AbstractData on the distribution and population size of the Near Threatened Tibetan antelopePantholops hodgsoniiare necessary to protect this species. Ground-based count surveys are usually carried out from a long distance to avoid disturbing the sensitive animals, and on calving grounds or along migration routes where they are seasonally concentrated.

Shift of maternal gut microbiome of Tibetan antelope ( Pantholops hodgsonii ) during the perinatal period [PDF]

, 2020
Abstract The maternal gut microbiome can influence and be affected by the substantial physiological changes taking place during the perinatal period. However, little information is known about the changes in the maternal gut microbiome during this period. Tibetan antelope ( Pantholops hodgsonii

Population increase at a calving ground of the Endangered Tibetan antelope Pantholops hodgsonii in Xinjiang, China [PDF]

Oryx, 2012
AbstractFemales in most populations of chiru or Tibetan antelope Pantholops hodgsonii migrate up to 350 km each year to summer calving grounds. These migrations characterize the Tibet–Qinghai Plateau. The Ullughusu calving grounds adjacent to the Arjinshan Nature Reserve in Xinjiang, China, are used by multiple chiru populations and this calving ground
