Primitive Tibetan antelope, Qurliqnoria hundesiensis (Lydekker, 1881) (Bovidae, Artiodactyla), from Pliocene Zanda and Kunlun Pass basins and paleoenvironmental implications [PDF]

, 2023
Well adapted to extremely cold winters (hypothermia) and low oxygen (hypoxia), the Tibetan antelope (or chiru), Pantholops hodgsonii Abel, is an iconic species in the Tibetan Plateau.

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 ...

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.

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 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.

Paracoccus liaowanqingii sp. nov., isolated from Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii)

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2020
Two strains, designated 2251T and 3058, that were aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, coccoid or short rod-shaped bacilli, have recently been isolated from Tibetan antelopes on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The results of phylogenetic analyses of 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strains 2251T and 3058 represent a new species within the genus

Characterization and Identification of a Novel Torovirus Associated With Recombinant Bovine Torovirus From Tibetan Antelope in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau of China

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Toroviruses (ToVs) are enteric pathogens and comprise three species, equine torovirus (EToV), bovine torovirus (BToV), and porcine torovirus (PToV). In this study, a novel torovirus (antelope torovirus, AToV) was discovered from fecal samples of Tibetan ...

Cloning in action: can embryo splitting, induced pluripotency and somatic cell nuclear transfer contribute to endangered species conservation?

Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 4, Page 1225-1249, August 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT The term ‘cloning’ refers to the production of genetically identical individuals but has meant different things throughout the history of science: a natural means of reproduction in bacteria, a routine procedure in horticulture, and an ever‐evolving gamut of molecular technologies in vertebrates.
