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.

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.

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.

Preliminary study on migration pattern of the Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii) based on satellite tracking

Preliminary study on migration pattern of the Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii) based on satellite tracking
Article The spatial and temporal patterns of the endangered Tibetan antelope or chiru (Pantholops hodgsonii) have been studied using satellite-based ARGOS platform transmitter terminal (PTT) tracking data. The data was obtained from the satellite tracking of two female Tibetan antelopes that were collared with satellite transmitters and have been ...

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 ...

Mountain ungulate mating systems: patterns and processes

Mammal Review, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 206-222, July 2023., 2023
Mountain ungulates, including wild sheep, goats and goat‐antelopes, show remarkable diversity in habitat preferences, social organisations and morphological features. We review how this diversity relates to their mating behaviour. From forest‐dwelling, solitary, monogamous and monomorphic goat‐antelopes, to highly dimorphic, polygynous and social wild ...

Identifying priority reserves favors the sustainable development of wild ungulates and the construction of Sanjiangyuan National Park

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 11, November 2022., 2022
Two strategies were used to analyze the overlap of suitable habitats.Core suitable areas of herbivores were similar in SNP and SNNR based on both strategies.SNP is the most suitable distribution area for six herbivores in SNNR. Abstract Sanjiangyuan National Park (SNP), the first national park in China, is one of the most important biodiversity ...

The role of herbivores in the grassland carbon budget for Three‐Rivers Headwaters region, Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau, China

Grassland Research, Volume 1, Issue 3, Page 207-219, September 2022., 2022
The herbivore carbon budget was estimated by an animal metabolic model developed in the Three‐Rivers Headwaters region. The livestock contributed 88% of the total consumed carbon that was returned 44% to grassland as feces and urine, and 40% through respiration and the remaining 4% in wildlife and 13% in livestock.
