Re-Evaluating the Demographic History of, and Inferring the Fine-Scale Recombination Landscape For, Wild Chinese Rhesus Macaques (Macaca mulatta). [PDF]
Am J PrimatolWe here re‐evaluate the demographic history of rhesus macaques within China, finding support for a single, interbreeding subpopulation. Utilizing this population history, we infer a fine‐scale recombination rate map across the genome, and compare it to previously published fine‐scale maps from rhesus macaques of Indian‐origin. ABSTRACT As a major model

Effects of Hierarchical Steepness on Grooming Patterns in Female Tibetan Macaques (Macaca thibetana)
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Hierarchical steepness, defined as status asymmetries among conspecifics living in the same group, is not only used as a main characteristic of animal social relationships, but also represents the degree of discrepancy between supply and demand within ...

The Temporal and Spatial Responses of Large and Medium Mammals to Anthropogenic Disturbances in Montane Southwest China. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study provides new insights for conserving rare wildlife in southwest China's mountainous regions, highlighting the importance of using camera traps to directly monitor anthropogenic disturbance and quantify its impact on species survival. The varying responses of threatened medium and large mammals to human activities emphasize the spatiotemporal

Effect of primate protection on threatened and endemic vertebrates, plants, ecosystem services, and future climate refugia. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Primates, 69% of which are threatened with extinction, are the third most specious order of mammals. We used primates as model taxa to examine the umbrella effects of primates on ecosystem services and the protection of other vertebrates and seed plants in Yunnan Province, China.

Significant differences in intestinal fungal community of hooded cranes along the wintering periods
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 The intestinal microbiota play vital roles for health of wild birds in many ways. Migratory birds with unique life history might increase the risk of pathogenic transmission across the regions.
