Recent geological events and intrinsic behavior influence the population genetic structure of the chiru and tibetan gazelle on the tibetan plateau. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The extent to which a species responds to environmental changes is mediated not only by extrinsic processes such as time and space, but also by species-specific ecology.

Cardiac adaptive mechanisms of Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii) at high altitudes

American Journal of Veterinary Research, 2012
Abstract Objective—To identify cardiac mechanisms that contribute to adaptation to high altitudes in Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii). Animals—9 male Tibetan antelope and 10 male Tibetan sheep (Ovis aries). Procedures—Tibetan antelope and Tibetan sheep inhabiting a region with an altitude of 4,300 m were captured, and several cardiac variables ...

Mycetocola zhujimingii sp. nov., isolated from faeces of Tibetan antelopes (Pantholops hodgsonii)

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2019
Strains 449T and 622 are both aerobic, Gram-stain-positive, short, rod-shaped bacilli that were recently isolated from the faeces of Tibetan antelopes on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau in China. Their 16S rRNA gene sequences were most similar to those of Mycetocola zhadangensis

Back to Water: Signature of Adaptive Evolution in Cetacean Mitochondrial tRNAs [PDF]

, 2016
The mitochondrion is the power plant of the eukaryotic cell, and tRNAs are the fundamental components of its translational machinery. In the present paper, the evolution of mitochondrial tRNAs was investigated in the Cetacea, a clade of Cetartiodactyla ...

Streptococcus pantholopis sp. nov., isolated from faeces of the Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii)

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2016
Two bacterial strains were isolated from faecal samples of Tibetan antelopes. The isolates were Gram-stain-positive, catalase-negative, coccus-shaped organisms that were tentatively identified as representing a novel streptococcal species based on their morphological features, biochemical test results and phylogenomic findings.

Cellulomonas shaoxiangyii sp. nov., isolated from faeces of Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii) on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2020
Two Gram-stain-positive, catalase-positive and oxidase-negative, aerobic, non-motile, cellobiose-utilizing, short-rod-shaped strains (Z28T and Z29) were isolated from faeces of Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii) collected on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau.
