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.

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.

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 ...

Social Relationships in Free-Ranging Male [PDF]

, 2009
Macaque social relationships differ greatly between species. Based on captive studies that focus mainly on females, researchers have classified stumptail macaque (Macaca arctoides) social relationships as tolerant, as indicated by a high rate of ...

Mitochondrial DNA variation in Tibetan macaque (Macaca thibetana)

Folia Zoologica, 2010
Tibetan macaques (Macaca thibetana) are a threatened primate species endemic to China. The current taxonomy of the species is based on external morphological and anatomical variations. To further understand the intraspecific variation and relationships among populations, we analyzed 44 mitochondrial DNA control region sequences (475 bp fragment) from ...

The High‐Altitude Adaptation Characteristics of Microbiota‐Host Cross‐Talk in Yak Gastrointestinal Track

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
