Estimating the population size of migrating Tibetan antelopesPantholops hodgsoniiwith unmanned aerial vehicles [PDF]

Oryx, 2018
AbstractData on the distribution and population size of the Near Threatened Tibetan antelopePantholops hodgsoniiare necessary to protect this species. Ground-based count surveys are usually carried out from a long distance to avoid disturbing the sensitive animals, and on calving grounds or along migration routes where they are seasonally concentrated.

A wildlife corridor site selection method based on the habitat suitability assessment of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

Global Ecology and Conservation
The development of transportation infrastructure disrupts wildlife movement, leading to habitat fragmentation and roadkill. While the establishment of wildlife corridors is a global strategy to mitigate these impacts, research on the intersections ...

Population increase at a calving ground of the Endangered Tibetan antelope Pantholops hodgsonii in Xinjiang, China [PDF]

Oryx, 2012
AbstractFemales in most populations of chiru or Tibetan antelope Pantholops hodgsonii migrate up to 350 km each year to summer calving grounds. These migrations characterize the Tibet–Qinghai Plateau. The Ullughusu calving grounds adjacent to the Arjinshan Nature Reserve in Xinjiang, China, are used by multiple chiru populations and this calving ground

Updated Chorotypes of Terrestrial Vertebrates Shed New Light on Zoogeographical Regions in China

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Chorotype represents a fundamental concept for identifying groups of species that share similar distribution patterns. However, the last comprehensive revision of animal chorotypes in China was performed more than a decade ago. Here, we update the chorotype classifications for 1040 species and propose an updated zoogeographical regionalization scheme ...

Less is more: rarity trumps quality in luxury markets [PDF]

, 2008
The international market for luxury goods has almost doubled since 1990, with a worldwide increase of 10% annually. This trade is fuelled by a great deal of legally and illegally exploited wildlife species, putting enormous pressure on many of them, with

Incipient Genetic Differentiation of the African Buffalo, Syncerus caffer Populations: Is Fencing Playing a Role?

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
Isolation by distance indicated that fences play a role in the genetic deterioration of confined species. The weak effects of fencing could be associated with the short period that effective fences have been in place to impact the genetics of the fenced population.

Natural selection supports escape from concerted evolution of a recently duplicated CEACAM1 paralog in the ruminant CEA gene family [PDF]

, 2020
Concerted evolution is often observed in multigene families such as the CEA gene family. As a result, sequence similarity of paralogous genes is significantly higher than expected from their evolutionary distance.
