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

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

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

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

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

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.
