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.

Surveys at a Tibetan antelope Pantholops hodgsonii calving ground adjacent to the Arjinshan Nature Reserve, Xinjiang, China: decline and recovery of a population [PDF]

Oryx, 2009
Abstract Females in most populations of chiru or Tibetan antelope Pantholops hodgsonii migrate each year up to 350 km to summer calving grounds, and these migrations characterize the Tibet/Qinghai Plateau. We studied the migratory chiru population at the Ullughusu calving grounds south-west of the Arjinshan Nature Reserve in Xinjiang, China. The 750–

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‐

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.

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 ...

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.
