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

Two novel aerobic, Gram-staining-positive and non-spore-forming bacterial strains, 194T and S1194, were isolated from faeces of Tibetan antelopes sampled at the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau of China. The strains were able to grow in medium up to 10 % NaCl, similar to the NaCl-resistant property of the genus ...

Two hitherto unknown bacteria (strains 313T and 352) were recovered from the faeces of Tibetan antelopes on the Tibet-Qinghai Plateau, PR China. Cells were rod-shaped and Gram-stain-positive. The optimal growth conditions were at 37 °C and pH 7. The isolates were closely related to Actinotignum sanguinis (92.6 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity ...

Microsatellites or simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are tandemly repeated tracts of DNA composed of 1–6 base pair (bp) units. The perfect SRRs were searched and computed by using bioinformatics methods in the complete genomes of goat (Capra hircus) and ...

Abstract Group living is widespread across diverse taxa, and the mechanisms underlying collective decision-making in contexts of variable role division are critical for understanding the dynamics of group stability. While studies on collective behavior in small animals such as fish and insects are well-established, similar research on ...

Living Caprini are dominant bovids in the pan-Tibetan area that are strongly adapted to dry steppe and high mountain meadow habitats. Some taxa with Holarctic distributions, such as Ovis, were thought to originate on the Tibetan Plateau and subsequently ...

The population of the Tibetan Antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii) has recently declined dramatically due to the illegal trade in its wool. The animal lives at high altitude and is protected from the extremely cold climate due to a coat of very fine wool ...

Introduction: The Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii) is a remarkable mammal thriving in the extreme Qinghai-Tibet Plateau conditions. Despite the availability of its genome sequence, limitations in the scaffold-level assembly have hindered a ...
