Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.Emerging infectious diseases increasingly threaten giant pandas and cohabiting species. This review analyzes pathogen transmission risks from domestic animals, wildlife, and vectors and proposes an integrated genomic surveillance framework for early warning and biodiversity conservation.

Convergent evolution of metabolic functions: Evidence from the gut microbiomes of humans and dogs
iMetaOmics, Volume 3, Issue 1, March 2026.Dogs have undergone convergent evolution in their genome with humans in long‐term co‐living. Studies have shown that the gut microbiomes of dogs exhibit greater similarity to those of humans compared to mice and pigs. In our study, we first compared the gut microbiomes of macaques, three dog groups, and two wolf groups to those in humans.

Assessing Mammal Conservation Effectiveness in the World's Highest‐Elevation Protected Area Network
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Protected areas (PAs) are central to global biodiversity conservation, but their effectiveness in understudied regions, such as high‐altitude ecosystems, remains poorly understood. Tibet contains the world's highest‐elevation PA network and a remarkably diverse mammalian fauna, especially medium‐ and large‐bodied mammals (MLM) that are of ...

The vocal repertoire of Tibetan macaques (Macaca thibetana): A quantitative classification
American Journal of Primatology, 2016 Vocal repertoires are basic and essential components for describing vocal communication in animals. Studying the entire suite of vocal signals aids investigations on the variation of acoustic structure across social contexts, comparisons on the complexity of communication systems across taxa, and in exploration of the evolutionary origins of species ...

Social Relationships Impact Collective Decision-Making in Tibetan Macaques [PDF]
, 2019 In a group of animals, interests and needs among group members can be very different. To benefit from group-living, individuals must therefore coordinate each other’s activities when they perform collective actions. Collective decision-making is a key mechanism during coordination, and it allows all members of a social group to reach a consensus.

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 1, 5 January 2026.In this study, a single‐cell atlas of 117,019 yak gastrointestinal cells across 54 subtypes identified HNF4A and SREBF2 as key transcription factors targeting MYO6 gene. Cross‐species and multi‐omics analyses reveals epithelial cells as key regulators that, through interactions with microbes, particularly Bacillus, facilitate flexible energy supply and

Behavioral Contagion in Wild Ecuadorian White‐Fronted Capuchins (Cebus aequatorialis)
American Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 1, January 2026.White‐fronted capuchins exhibit scratching contagion, but neither the characteristics of the trigger, or of the partner's (sex, age class, or centrality), or of the dyad (combination of sex, combination of age class, or social bond) seem to modulate the likelihood of contagion.

Tibetan Macaque Social Style: Covariant and Quasi-independent Evolution [PDF]
, 2019 AbstractUnderstanding the evolutionary origins of group social structure is vital to understanding how individuals deal with the trade-offs of group living. In this chapter, we review our previous work related to social style in Tibetan macaques and across macaque species, focusing on whether, and the extent to which, indicators of social style covary ...

Social and Life History Strategies of Tibetan Macaques at Mt. Huangshan [PDF]
, 2019 Tibetan macaques (Macaca thibetana) are just beginning to be known in primatology, but some unique aspects of their morphology, ecology, behavior, and phylogeny indicate that they can play an important role in comparative studies of macaques. Here, we present a summary of their social and life history strategies based on continuous observation over ...
