Climate change has significant impacts on species' distributions and diversity patterns. Understanding range shifts changes in richness gradients under climate is crucial for conservation. The Tibetan Plateau, home to wild yak, chiru, kiang, contains a biome with many endemic ungulates. It highly sensitive region that merits particular attention regard the of global its biomes. Maximum entropy approaches were used estimate current future potential distributions, response change, 22 ungulate...

Periodontitis is a globally prevalent disease that clinically diagnosed when the periodontal tissues are pathologically affected. Therefore, it vital to identify novel periodontitis-associated biomarkers will aid in diagnosing or treating potential patients with periodontitis. The GSE16134 and GSE10334 datasets were downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus database differentially expressed genes between periodontitis healthy samples. Single-sample gene set enrichment analysis was performed...

A wide array of wildlife species, including many animals, are used in traditional medicines across medicinal systems, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Due to over-exploitation and habitat loss, the populations animals commonly TCM have declined unable meet market demand. number measures been taken try reduce impact that this large growing for may on wild animal species. Consumer preferences behavior known play an important role consumption protection medicine, thus likely be factor...

Abstract Background Pleistocene climatic oscillations and historical geological events may both influence current patterns of genetic variation, the species in southern China that faced unique topographical have complex evolutionary histories. However, relative contributions geographical to variation these remain undetermined. To investigate test hypotheses about factors shaped distribution this China, mitochondrial genes (cytochrome b NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2) nine microsatellite loci...

Abstract Animal skin, which is the tissue that directly contacts external surroundings, has evolved diverse functions to adapt various environments. Amphibians represent transitional taxon from aquatic terrestrial life. Exploring molecular basis of their skin function and adaptation important understand survival evolutionary mechanisms vertebrates. However, comprehensive studies on in amphibians are scarce. In this study, we sequenced transcriptomes seven anurans belonging three families...

In order to effectively conserve a species and manage its population, it is critical understand the impact of climate change on habitat quality connectivity. The sika deer (Cervus nippon) ungulate endemic East Asia listed as Category I State Key Protected Wild Animals under Chinese law. C. nippon population was established in Shennongjia area 30 years ago, there an urgent need analyse environmental quality. this study, we compared suitable habitats connectivity by utilizing ecological niche...

Abstract Background Comparison of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes across vertebrate species can reveal molecular mechanisms underlying the evolution adaptive immunity-related proteins. As first terrestrial tetrapods, amphibians deserve special attention because their exposure to probably increased spectrum microorganisms compared with ancestral aquatic fishes. Knowledge regarding evolutionary patterns and associated amphibian MHC remains limited. The goal present study was...

Background Explaining species richness patterns is a central issue in biogeography and macroecology. Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the mechanisms driving biodiversity patterns, but causes of gradients remain unclear. In this study, we aimed impacts energy, environmental stability, habitat heterogeneity factors on variation vertebrate (VSR), based VSR pattern China, so as test energy hypothesis, stability hypothesis.

Abstract The karst area of southwest China (KASC) is the largest piece landscape on earth and a global biodiversity hot-spot with high concentrations endemic species. Although number nature reserves (NRs) have been established across region, representativeness NR system still unknown. Based comprehensive literature field surveys intensive consultations zoologists wildlife managers, we compiled distributions 1,204 terrestrial vertebrate species 271 NRs in KASC. We found Jinxiu, Mengla, Hekou...

Understanding the effects of climate change on primate ranging patterns is crucial for conservation planning. Rhinopithecus roxellana an endangered species distributed in mountainous forests at elevation 1500–3500 m a.s.l. China. Our study site, Shennongjia National Nature Reserve, represents eastern‐most distribution this species. This area has experienced significant habitat loss and fragmentation because human population growth, increased farming logging, change. To estimate how changes...

Abstract Background Understanding the impacts of past and contemporary climate change on biodiversity is critical for effective conservation. Amphibians have weak dispersal abilities, putting them at risk habitat fragmentation loss. Both anthropogenic disturbances exacerbate these risks, increasing likelihood additional amphibian extinctions in near future. The giant spiny frog ( Quasipaa spinosa ), an endemic species to East Asia, has faced a dramatic population decline over last few...

The global trade in live wildlife elevates the risk of biological invasions by increasing colonization pressure (the number alien species introduced to an area). Yet, our understanding traded as aliens remains limited. We created a comprehensive database on terrestrial vertebrate and use it investigate species, correlates establishment richness for aliens. identify 7,780 involved this globally. Approximately 85.7% these are aliens, 12.2% establish populations. Countries with greater trading...

As human population increase, human‐wildlife conflicts have reached unprecedented levels, often resulting in negative attitudes toward regional conservation initiatives, and thus are of concern for communities. From April to May 2011, we carried out a survey quantify carnivore‐induced livestock losses perceived by local pastoralists the Qinghai Lake region on pastoral Qinghai—Tibetan Plateau examined ecological socio‐economic dimensions conflict. We finished 286 in‐person interviews using...

Although conventional wisdom considers knowledge of threatened species’ ecology and status essential for conservation, few studies demonstrate this in a quantitative way across many species within the same political entity. Here, we evaluated impacts scientific research against conservation interventions (including funding) species-level correlates, accounting phylogenetic relatedness, on 162 mammal China. We did so at three levels: global (all papers published species), regional (a subset...
