Conservation: Threatened by Luxury. [PDF]

, 2016
When animals are traded in lucrative international luxury markets, individuals really do matter to conservation. Identifying the intrinsic and extrinsic factors that make some species especially vulnerable to this kind of threat helps set guidelines for ...

Projected impacts of climate change on snow leopard habitat in Qinghai Province, China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 23, Page 17202-17218, December 2021., 2021
Climate change challenges current snow leopard conservation efforts; identify refugia and corridors under climate change for species; and provide adaptation strategies to mitigate climate‐related threats to the species. Abstract Assessing species’ vulnerability to climate change is a prerequisite for developing effective strategies to reduce emerging ...

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‐

Effectiveness of wildlife underpasses and culverts in connecting elephant habitats: a case study of new railway through Kenya’s Tsavo National Parks

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 59, Issue 3, Page 624-640, September 2021., 2021
Abstract Transportation networks can be a major impediment to wildlife movements. We assessed the use of wildlife underpasses and culverts along a newly constructed railway in Kenya's Tsavo National Parks by African elephants (L. africana). We collared ten elephants with GPS satellite transmitters within 20 km of the railway in March 2016 and analysed ...

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

, 2020
AbstractThe 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) provide a unique system to address this issue because their

Draft genome sequence of the Tibetan antelope [PDF]

, 2013
The Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii) is endemic to the extremely inhospitable high-altitude environment of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, a region that has a low partial pressure of oxygen and high ultraviolet radiation.

A chromosome‐scale reference genome and genome‐wide genetic variations elucidate adaptation in yak

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 21, Issue 1, Page 201-211, January 2021., 2021
Abstract Yak is an important livestock animal for the people indigenous to the harsh, oxygen‐limited Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau and Hindu Kush ranges of the Himalayas. The yak genome was sequenced in 2012, but its assembly was fragmented because of the inherent limitations of the Illumina sequencing technology used to analyse it.

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

, 2019
AbstractPopulation 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 species.
