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

Toroviruses (ToVs) are enteric pathogens and comprise three species, equine torovirus (EToV), bovine torovirus (BToV), and porcine torovirus (PToV). In this study, a novel torovirus (antelope torovirus, AToV) was discovered from fecal samples of Tibetan ...

Grassland functional zoning and spatial optimization scheme on the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau. Based on multifunctionality assessment, the scheme proposes allocating 32% of regional grassland as nature reserve grasslands (biodiversity focus), 63% as livestock grazing grasslands (smart ecological–production management), and 5% as cultivated grasslands (high‐

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

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.

The effect of the Qinghai-Tibet railway on the migration of Tibetan antelope Pantholops hodgsonii in Hoh-xil National Nature Reserve, China [PDF]
Abstract The Tibetan antelope or chiru Pantholops hodgsonii is endemic to the Tibetan plateau and was once abundant over vast areas of high elevation grassland habitat. During the 20th century, however, the population declined greatly in numbers.

Two Gram-stain-negative, catalase- and oxidase-positive, non-spore-forming, aerobic, motile, flagellated, and coccus-shaped strains (Z23T and Z24) were isolated from faeces of Tibetan antelopes (Pantholops hodgsonii) on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, PR China.

Operation Soft Gold – Integration of cyber intelligence in curbing illegal Shahtoosh trade in India
The fine wool Shahtoosh obtained from the Tibetan Antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii Abel, 1826) which is endemic to Tibetan Plateau, is highly valued for its rarity, warmth and lightness. The illegal trade in Shahtoosh may lead to extinction of this species.

Two novel, Gram-stain-positive, non-motile, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (strains 2129T and 2119) were isolated from the faeces of Tibetan antelopes (Pantholops hodgsonii) on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, PR China. The 16S rRNA gene sequences of the strains showed highest similarity values to Actinomyces timonensis DSM 23838T (92.9 and 92 ...
