Impact of Climate Change and Human Activities on Suitable Distribution of Rhodiola Species in the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau: Modeling Insights for Conservation Prioritization

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Using the MaxEnt model with climatic, topographical, soil, and human activity factors, this study predicted suitable habitats for eight Rhodiola species in the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau (QTP) and analyzed conservation gaps via ArcGIS overlay analysis. ABSTRACT Using the MaxEnt model with climatic, topographical, soil, and human activity factors, this study

Impacts of \u3ci\u3eYartsa Gunbu\u3c/i\u3e Harvesting on Alpine Ecosystems in the Barun Valley, Makalu-Barun National Park, Nepal [PDF]

, 2020
Around 2003, the highly valuable medicinal fungi Ophiocordyceps sinensis (Nepali: yartsa gunbu) began to be commercially harvested in the remote Barun valley of the Makalu-Barun National Park and Buffer Zone, eastern Nepal. Since then, an estimated 3,000

The Response of Krascheninnikovia ceratoides (L.) Gueldenst. to Environmental Changes Since the Mid‐Holocene in the Tibetan Antelope Breeding Ground of the Western Kunlun Mountains

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
We analyzed changes in the suitable habitat of K.ceratoides, which is the main food source of Tibetan antelopes, within the Tibetan antelope breeding grounds in the Western Kunlun Mountains. The study covered the period from the Mid‐Holocene to future projections and also examined the driving factors and shifting directions of the suitable habitat ...

The pitfalls of pastoralism and grazing's hidden threat: Exacerbation of rainfall erosion in semi‐arid areas of China

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 198-211, January 2026.
The steppe is facing an increase in soil erosion, which is threatening the ecosystem and agricultural production. Our study reveals how grazing intensity and rainfall exacerbate soil erosion that is leading to a gradual loss of soil nutrients. This study raises a warning to both herders and policymakers that focusing on grazing without considering the ...

Comprehensive Analysis of PAPPA2 Expression and Genetic Variants in Sheep and Their Association With Litter Size

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Background The PAPPA2 gene encodes a metalloproteinase critical for regulating insulin‐like growth factor (IGF) bioavailability through cleavage of insulin‐like growth factor‐binding protein 5 (IGFBP5). While its role in human and murine reproduction is documented, its function in sheep reproductive traits remains underexplored. Objective This

Drivers of plant phenolic concentration across global drylands

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study advances the understanding of how biotic and abiotic stressors shape plant defence strategies in global drylands. The findings shed novel insights about how plant secondary metabolites and their associated functions shift in response to changes in climate and grazing pressure, two key global change drivers with significant implications for ...

Multiomics Analyses Provide New Insight into Genetic Variation of Reproductive Adaptability in Tibetan Sheep

Molecular biology and evolution
Domestication and artificial selection during production-oriented breeding have greatly shaped the level of genomic variability in sheep. However, the genetic variation associated with increased reproduction remains elusive.
