Characteristics of cross transmission of gut fungal pathogens between wintering Hooded Cranes and sympatric Domestic Geese

Avian Research, 2023
Migratory birds travel long distance and link various pathogens. Due to habitat degradation, wintering waterfowls forage together with poultry, increasing the risk of pathogen transmission between hosts.

Spatiotemporal and Host Variations in Faecal Microbiomes of Hairy‐Nosed Wombats (Lasiorhinus spp.)

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The gut microbiome can play a critical role in humans and wildlife, assisting with digestion, immunity and detoxification. This community is often adapted to the animal's ecosystem and fluctuates with seasonal shifts in diet. The gut microbiome can also be altered by anthropogenic effects such as invasive species creating increasingly ...

Comparative analysis of genotypic diversity in Entamoeba nuttalli isolates from Tibetan macaques and rhesus macaques in China

Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2016
We have recently demonstrated the potentially virulent species Entamoeba nuttalli as one of the highly prevalent parasites in rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) in Mount Long-hu and Gui-yang in China. Tibetan macaque (Macaca thibetana) is a unique species living in China.

Altitude‐Associated Divergence of the Gut Microbiome in Endangered Forest Musk Deer: Evidence From Integrated Metagenomics, Metabolomics, and Culturomics

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT High‐altitude environments expose mammals and their gut symbionts to multifaceted stressors—hypoxia, cold, and intense UV radiation. Whether gut microbial communities undergo compositional restructuring in response to these stressors, and whether such restructuring carries translational value for captive conservation, remain unresolved ...

Evidence of Vocal Gradation in the Vocal Repertoire of Wild Moor Macaques (Macaca maura)

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 3, March 2026.
Social‐tolerant wild moor macaques produce graded vocalizations. ABSTRACT Nonhuman primates constitute an ideal model to study the evolutionary origins of human language, because of their close phylogenetic distance to humans and their reliance on complex communication systems that include different signal types.

Safeguarding a Flagship Species: Integrated Surveillance of Cross‐Species Pathogen Transmission in Giant Panda Ecosystems

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 ...

Prosodic tautomorphemicity in Sino-Tibetan [PDF]

, 2010
Sino-Tibetan is a prime example of how strongly a language family can typologically diversify under the pressure of areal spread features (Matisoff 1991, 1999). One of the manifestation of this is the average length of prosodic words.
