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 ...

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

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.

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

, 2019
Abstract Population 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 ...

Assessment of the control measures for category A diseases of Animal Health Law: Contagious Caprine Pleuropneumonia

EFSA Journal, Volume 20, Issue 1, January 2022., 2022
Abstract EFSA received a mandate from the European Commission to assess the effectiveness of some of the control measures against diseases included in the Category A list according to Regulation (EU) 2016/429 on transmissible animal diseases (‘Animal Health Law’).

Impacts of linear transport infrastructure on terrestrial vertebrate species and conservation in China

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022
Two strategic documents issued by the Chinese Central Government projected that, by the mid-21st century, the linear transport infrastructure (LTI) network of China will rank at the forefront of ecological and sustainable transport networks globally ...

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

, 2020
Abstract The 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

Sexually differentiated decision-making involves faster recruitment in the early stages for the Tibetan antelopes Pantholops hodgsonii. [PDF]

Curr Zool
Abstract Group living is widespread across diverse taxa, and the mechanisms underlying collective decision-making in contexts of variable role division are critical for understanding the dynamics of group stability. While studies on collective behavior in small animals such as fish and insects are well-established, similar research on ...

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 ...
