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.

Gastrointestinal Parasites in Humans and Rhesus Macaques: A Cross-Sectional Study in Bhaktapur, Nepal. [PDF]

Health Sci Rep
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Gastrointestinal parasitism in wild animals at the human‐wildlife interface may be a warning concern both for wildlife health and human health. The current study was conducted to determine the prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites in humans and rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) in the Nilbarahi area, an area with ...

Ecotourism Disturbance on an Endemic Endangered Primate in the Huangshan Man and the Biosphere Reserve of China: A Way to Move Forward

Biology, 2022
The primary purpose of the Man and the Biosphere Program is the sustainable development of both the economy and nature conservation activities. Although the effectiveness of eco-tourism to reach this goal has been proposed, due to the lack of long-term ...

Expression of Human Thrombomodulin Prevents Early Thrombocytopenia and Thrombotic Microangiopathy in Pig-to-Nonhuman Primate Orthotopic Liver Xenotransplantation. [PDF]

Xenotransplantation
ABSTRACT Background Severe thrombocytopenia and coagulation dysregulation remain major barriers to survival in pig‐to‐primate liver xenotransplantation models. Methods Porcine livers with five genetic modifications (GTKO, CMAHKO, β4GalNT2KO, hCD55, and hTBM) were orthotopically transplanted into four Tibetan macaques under two conventional ...

Re-Evaluating the Demographic History of, and Inferring the Fine-Scale Recombination Landscape For, Wild Chinese Rhesus Macaques (Macaca mulatta). [PDF]

Am J Primatol
We 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

Sexual Interference Behaviors in Male Adult and Subadult Tibetan Macaques (Macaca thibetana) [PDF]

Animals, 2021
Male nonhuman primate sexual interference, which includes copulation interruption and copulation harassment, has been related to reproductive success, but its significance has been challenging to test. Copulation interruption results in the termination of a copulation before ejaculation, whereas copulation harassment does not.

Maternal and infantile gut mycobiome during the weaning period in free ranging Tibetan macaques (Macaca thibetana)

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Gut microbiome is critical to the health of mammals. Many previous studies have revealed the gut bacterial microbiomes of mother and infant changed significantly during the weaning period.

Recent Developments in Primatology and Their Relevance to the Study of Tibetan Macaques [PDF]

, 2019
AbstractGiven their shared evolutionary history with humans, nonhuman primates play an exceptional role in the study of animal behavior, ecology, and evolution. This close phylogenetic relationship has led scholars from a diverse set of disciplines (e.g., biological and social sciences, notably psychology and anthropology) and theoretical perspectives (

Infant attraction: why social bridging matters for female leadership in Tibetan macaques [PDF]

Current Zoology, 2020
Abstract Leadership is a key issue in the study of collective behavior in social animals. Affiliation–leadership models predict that dyadic partner preferences based on grooming relationships or alliance formation positively affect an individual’s decision to follow or support a conspecific.

The Temporal and Spatial Responses of Large and Medium Mammals to Anthropogenic Disturbances in Montane Southwest China. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This 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
