Characteristics of the gut microbiome vary synchronously with changes in host diet. However, underlying effects these fluctuations remain unclear. Here, we performed fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) diet-specific feces from an endangered mammal (the giant panda) into a germ-free mouse model. We demonstrated that butyrate-producing bacterium Clostridium butyricum was more abundant during shoot-eating season than leaf-eating season, congruent significant increase body mass. Following...
Inbreeding can have negative consequences on population and individual fitness, which could be counteracted by inbreeding avoidance mechanisms. However, the risk mechanisms in endangered species are less studied. The giant panda, a solitary threatened species, lives many small populations suffers from habitat fragmentation, may aggravate of inbreeding. Here, we performed long-term observations reproductive behaviour, sampling mother-cub pairs large-scale genetic analyses wild pandas....
Abstract Background Flavonoids are important plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) that have been widely used for their health-promoting effects. However, little is known about overall flavonoid metabolism and the interactive effects between flavonoids gut microbiota. The flavonoid-rich bamboo giant panda provide an ideal system to bridge this gap. Results Here, integrating metabolomic metagenomic approaches, in vitro culture experiment, we identified 97 most of them not previously; utilization...
Abstract Marine biodiversity plays important roles in ocean ecosystem services and has substantial economic value. Species diversity, genetic diversity phylogenetic which reflect the number, evolutionary potential history of species functioning, are three dimensions biodiversity. Marine-protected areas have been demonstrated as an effective area-based tool for protecting marine biodiversity, but only 2.8% fully protected. It is urgent to identify global conservation priority percentage...
Brown-and-white giant pandas (hereafter brown pandas) are distinct coat color mutants found exclusively in the Qinling Mountains, Shaanxi, China. However, its genetic mechanism has remained unclear since their discovery 1985. Here, we identified basis for this variation using a combination of field ecological data, population genomic and CRISPR–Cas9 knockout mouse model. We de novo assembled long-read-based panda genome resequenced genomes 35 pandas, including two family trios associated...
Sea turtles are marine flagship species and most of them currently in a threatened state. Long-term surviving the ocean has driven significant morphological physiological changes for this group, which makes an ideal model studying adaptive evolution environments. Herein, we present chromosome-scale genome Lepidochelys olivacea with size 2.22 Gb contig N50 97.3 Mb. Comparative genomic analyses uncovered suite genes related to olfaction, vision, virus defense, longevity, may help explain...
The accurate perception and prediction of traffic parameters like vehicles is essential to transportation land planning management. Video satellites launched in recent years have brought promising opportunities into this field, providing a wide perspective high frame frequency for extracting moving vehicles. However, detecting remains challenge due their small size, which diminishes shape texture details, often causing them blend with noise or other objects. To address issue, we propose an...
Abstract Mesoscale eddies are prevalent in the global oceans and known to influence oceanic atmospheric conditions. This study aims assess how impact of mesoscale on air–sea CO 2 fluxes varies throughout their lifecycle. We compared six machine learning models, including light gradient boosting machine, support vector XGBoost construct an FCO evaluation model. Among these, model performed best, with validation yielding coefficient determination ( R ) value 0.9046 a root mean square error...
Previously, the ricefield eel ( Monopterus albus ) was speculated to have only one cytochrome p450 aromatase gene. In this study, however, cDNAs encoding two distinct aromatases, cyp19a1a and cyp19a1b, were isolated. The genomic organizations of both cyp19 genes conserved when compared with other teleosts. Northern blot detected an abundant expression in ovary, cyp19a1b hypothalamus. RT-PCR coupled Southern showed that expressed predominantly gonads sexes, higher levels ovary than testis,...
Abstract Mammalian chemosignals—or scent marks—are characterized by astounding chemical diversity, reflecting both complex biochemical pathways that produce them and rich information exchange with conspecifics. The microbiome of glands was thought to play prominent role in the signal synthesis, diverse microbiota metabolizing glandular products odorants may be used as chemosignals. Here, we use gas chromatography–mass spectrometry metagenomic shotgun sequencing explore this phenomenon...
A critical function of animal movement is to maximize access essential resources in temporally fluctuating and spatially heterogeneous environments. Seasonally mediated resource fluctuations may influence movements, enabling them track changing distributions, resulting annual migration patterns. The conservation-dependent giant panda ( Ailuropoda melanoleuca) displays seasonal patterns; however, the key factor driving these patterns remains poorly understood. Here, we used GPS tracking...
Abstract The activation of P2 purinoceptors induces Ca 2 mobilization in the earlyembryonic chick neural retina. This purinergic response declines parallel with thedecrease mitotic activity during retinal development. To investigate role P2purinoceptors regulation cell proliferation, we studied effects P2purinoceptor antagonists suramin and pyridoxalphosphate‐6‐azophenyl‐2′,4′‐disulphonic acid (PPADS), agonist ATP on DNA synthesis organcultures from embryonic day 3 (E3) chick. Suramin...
Microplastics (MPs) are important exempla of the Anthropocene and exerting an increasing impact on Earth’s carbon cycle. The huge imbalance between MPs floating marine surface those that estimated to have been introduced into ocean necessitates a detailed assessment MP sinks. Here, we demonstrate cold seep sediments, which characterized by methane fluid seepage chemosynthetic ecosystem, effectively capture accommodate small-scale (< 100 μm) MPs, with 16 types being detected. abundance is...
Abstract Thermal priming of reef corals can enhance their heat tolerance; however, the legacy effects stress during parental brooding on larval resilience remain understudied. This study investigated whether preconditioning adult coral Pocillopora damicornis to high temperatures (29°C and 32°C) could better prepare larvae for stress. Results showed that heat‐acclimated adults brooded with reduced symbiont density shifted thermal performance curves. Reciprocal transplant experiments...
Abstract Aim Global warming is threatening species survival worldwide. Cold‐adapted montane ungulates may be among the first to affected by global warming. Here, we investigate behavioural thermoregulation hypothesis that buffer effects of climate through adjustment. Location Foping National Nature Reserve (FNNR) on southern slopes Qinling Mountains, Shaanxi, China. Methods We used infrared camera traps over six consecutive years monitor responses seasonal and diurnal changes in ambient...
DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification that plays a crucial role in various regulatory processes, including gene expression regulation, transposable element repression, and genomic imprinting. However, most studies on have been conducted humans other model species, whereas the dynamics of across mammals remain poorly explored, limiting our understanding epigenomic evolution evolutionary impacts conserved lineage-specific methylation. Here, we generated gathered comparative data from...
