Survival Risk Analysis for Four Endemic Ungulates on Grasslands of the Tibetan Plateau Based on the Grazing Pressure Index

Remote Sensing
Ungulates are essential for maintaining the health of grassland ecosystems on the Tibetan plateau. Increased livestock grazing has caused competition for food resources, threatening ungulates’ survival.

The roles of calving migration and climate change in the formation of the weak genetic structure in the Tibetan antelope ( Pantholops hodgsonii )

Integrative Zoology, 2019
AbstractGeographical barriers and distance can reduce gene exchange among animals, resulting in genetic divergence of geographically isolated populations. The Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii) has a geographical range of approximately 1600 km across the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, which comprises a series of tall mountains and big rivers.

<i>Blastocystis</i> infection in Tibetan antelopes (<i>Pantholops hodgsonii</i>) alters gut microbiota composition and function. [PDF]

Front Cell Infect Microbiol
Introduction The gut microbiota plays an important role in host environmental adaptation, including defense against pathogens. Parasite infections can disrupt gut microbial communities and thus influence host adaptability.

<i>Blastocystis</i> presence alters gut archaeal communities and metabolic functions in Tibetan antelopes (<i>Pantholops hodgsonii</i>). [PDF]

Front Vet Sci
Background Archaea are vital members of the gut microbiota, yet their diversity and functions in high-altitude wildlife remain poorly understood. Understanding their ecological roles can provide insights into host health and microbial community dynamics ...

Qurliqnoria (Mammalia: Bovidae) fossils from Qaidam Basin, Tibetan Plateau and deep-time endemism of the Tibetan antelope lineage [PDF]

, 2022
The Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii) is an endemic bovid of the Tibetan Plateau, which was, until recently, considered an endangered species. Researchers have long speculated on the evolutionary origin of Pantholops, suggesting a connection to the

Genetic diversity of the Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii) population of Ladakh, India, its relationship with other populations and conservation implications. [PDF]

BMC Res Notes, 2016
The Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii), or chiru, is an endangered antelope, distributed in China [Xinjiang, Xizang, Qinghai, Zhuolaihu Lake (Breeding habitat)], and India (Aksai Chin and Ladakh). There is a global demand for the species prized wool, which is used in weaving shahtoosh shawls.

Convergent Genomic Signatures of Cashmere Traits: Evidence for Natural and Artificial Selection. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci, 2023
Convergent evolution provides powerful opportunities to investigate the genetic basis of complex traits. The Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii) and Siberian ibex (Capra sibirica) belong to different subfamilies in Bovidae, but both have evolved ...

Four steps to strengthen connectivity modeling

Ecography, Volume 2023, Issue 11, November 2023., 2023
Maintaining and restoring ecological connectivity is considered a global imperative to help reverse the decline of biodiversity. To be successful, practitioners need to be guided by connectivity modeling research that is rigorous and reliable for the task at hand.

The four antelope species on the Qinghai-Tibet plateau face habitat loss and redistribution to higher latitudes under climate change

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Climate change is predicted to directly or indirectly affect species distribution and abundance, especially the species that live on the Qinghai-Tibet plateau that is highly sensitive to climate change.
