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 ...

Adaptation of migratory Tibetan antelope to infrastructure development

Ecosystem Health and Sustainability, 2021
The Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii) is a migratory ungulate species that inhabits the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau. In recent years, the population of Tibetan antelope has steadily increased owing to rigorous protection measures to safeguard the species

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

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.

The putatively high‐altitude adaptation of macaque monkeys: Evidence from the fecal metabolome and gut microbiome

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 16, Issue 10, Page 1708-1720, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Animals living in high‐altitude environments, such as the Tibetan Plateau, must face harsh environmental conditions (e.g., hypoxia, cold, and strong UV radiation). These animals' physiological adaptations (e.g., increased red cell production and turnover rate) might also be associated with the gut microbial response.

Mitochondrial DNA analyses revealed distinct lineages in an alpine mammal, Siberian ibex (Capra sibirica) in Xinjiang, China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2023., 2023
Intriguingly, we found that the mtDNA sequences of Capra sibirica split into two main lineages in both phylogenetic and network analyses: the southern lineage, sister to Capra falconeri, and the northern lineage further divided into four monophyletic clades A–D corresponding to their geographic origins.
