Abstract Homeostatic responses of animals to environmentally induced changes in nutrient requirements provide a powerful basis for predictive ecological models, and yet, such are virtually unstudied the wild. We tested macronutrient‐specific compensatory feeding by free‐ranging golden snub‐nosed monkeys ( Rhinopithecus roxellana ) inhabiting high altitude temperate forests, where they experience substantial difference ambient temperature cold winters vs. warmer springs. The had free access...
There is a great deal of spatial and temporal variation in the availability nutritional quality foods eaten by animals, particularly temperate regions where winter brings lengthy periods leaf fruit scarcity. We analyzed availability, dietary composition, macronutrients northern-most golden snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus roxellana) population Qinling Mountains, China to understand food choice highly seasonal environment dominated deciduous trees. During warm months between April November,...
Shift of ingestive behavior is an important strategy for animals to adapt change the environment. We knew that shifts in animal dietary habits lead changes structure gut microbiota, but we are not sure about if composition and function microbiota respond nutrient intake or food items. To investigate how feeding strategies affect intakes thus alter digestion selected a group wild primate study. quantified their diet macronutrients four seasons year, instant fecal samples were analyzed by...
Abstract The majority of human infectious diseases originate from mammals and are inherently zoonotic. Non-human primates (NHPs) not only carriers many zoonotic pathogens, but also the best intermediary for virus shift harmless to harmful due their similar phylogenetic relationship with humans. Knowledge NHP viral composition its underlying information can therefore provide an assessment risk cross-species transmission spillover diseases. However, studies that have successfully eliminated...
ABSTRACT Competition within primate groups often translates to a social hierarchy, with high‐rank individuals gaining privileged access resources, especially food. Golden snub‐nosed monkeys Rhinopithecus roxellana live in multi‐level society, multiple one‐male units (OMUs), each containing single adult male and several females, forming breeding‐band. High‐rank males have increased high‐value foods spend less time feeding more being groomed by potentially enhancing cohesion their OMUs. The...
Social animals often have dominance hierarchies, with high rank conferring preferential access to resources. In primates, competition among males is assumed occur predominantly over reproductive opportunities. However, for food may during shortages, such as in temperate species winter. Higher-ranked thus gain high-profitability food, which would enable them spend longer engaged activities other than feeding.We performed a field experiment breeding band of golden snub-nosed monkeys, that...
The morphological characteristics of metamorphosis in stamens Anemone barbulata Turcz. were investigated using and histological analyses. results showed that transformed into either white sepaloid organs or more frequently green leaflike structures with successive variations. extreme metamorphic stamen was represented as a three-lobed structure long stalk, highly consistent the characters normal leaves plant. It hypothesized connective two pollen sacs anther three lobes metamorphosed stamen,...

Polyploids are cells or organisms with a genome consisting of more than two sets homologous chromosomes. Polyploid plants have important traits that facilitate speciation and thus often model systems for evolutionary, molecular ecology agricultural studies. However, due to their unusual mode inheritance double-reduction, diploid models population genetic analysis cannot properly be applied autopolyploids. To overcome this problem, we developed software package entitled vcfpop perform variety...
Infanticide by unrelated individuals is widely reported in the animal kingdom; however, little known about cases perpetrated a parent, particularly mother. This article reports on three of mother-initiated infanticide Qinling golden takins (<i>Budorcas taxicolor bedfordi</i>) recorded from video and camera images. Based previous other animals, we propose that events observed were related to parental manipulation mechanism – i.e., killing an unhealthy infant allow mother invest more care...
The golden snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus roxellana) is a typical arboreal group-living Old World primate. While limb preference has been extensively studied in this species, consistency not yet explored. Here, based on 26 R. roxellana adults, we investigated whether individuals exhibit consistent motor biases manual- (e.g., unimanual feeding and social grooming) foot-related bipedal locomotion) tasks influenced by increased interactions during grooming. Results showed no the direction or...
