Marked Variation Between Winter and Spring Gut Microbiota in Freeranging Tibetan Macaques (Macaca thibetana) [PDF]
, 2016 Variation in the availability and distribution of food resources is a strong selective pressure on wild primates. We explored variation in Tibetan macaque gut microbiota composition during winter and spring seasons.

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

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.

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

Sequences of Tibetan Macaque (Macaca thibetana) and Tourist Behaviors at Mt. Huangshan, China [PDF]
, 2009 Previous research on Tibetan macaques (Macaca thibetana) at Mt. Huangshan, China, suggested that ecotourism can have detrimental consequences. This study identified sequences of behaviors that typically occur in macaque-tourist interactions to examine ...

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.

Seasonal Change in Activity Rhythms and Time Budgets of Tibetan Macaques
Biology, 2022 Activity rhythms and time budgets are important to understand behavioral variability and adaptation in primates because animals normally use a behavioral adjustment as a preferential choice in response to environmental changes. Therefore, we observed a group of un-provisioned Tibetan macaques (Macaca thibetana) in Tianhu Mountain County Nature Reserve,

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
