Only a few primate species thrive in temperate regions characterized by relatively low temperature, rainfall, diversity, high elevation, and especially an extended season of food scarcity during which they suffer from dietary stress. We present data case study strategies fallback foods snub-nosed monkeys (Rhinopithecus bieti) the Samage Forest, Northwest Yunnan, PRC. The adjusted intake plant items corresponding with changes phenology deciduous trees forest specifically showed strong...
Article Abstract Background: Escitalopram, the therapeutically active isomer of racemic selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor antidepressant citalopram, has shown significant anxiolytic effects in placebo-controlled clinical trials social anxiety disorder, generalized and symptoms associated with major depression. This study evaluated safety efficacy escitalopram outpatients diagnosed panic disorder. Method: Male female between 18 80 years age meeting DSM-IV criteria for or without...
Snub-nosed monkeys (genus Rhinopithecus) are a group of endangered colobines endemic to South Asia. Here, we re-sequenced the whole genomes 38 snub-nosed representing four species within this genus. By conducting population genomic analyses, observed similar load deleterious variation in living both smaller and larger populations found that diversity was lower than reported other primates. Reconstruction Rhinopithecus evolutionary history suggested episodes climatic over past 2 million...
While crypsis is a prominent antipredator adaptation, the role of brain in predator-driven evolution remains controversial. Resolving this controversy requires contextualizing with established traits and predation pressure. We hypothesize that reduced risk through relaxes predation-driven selection on provide comparative evidence across 102 Chinese frog species for our hypothesis. Specifically, phylogenetic path analysis reveals an indirect relationship between mediated by size. This result...
Brain sizes vary substantially across vertebrate taxa, yet, the evolution of brain size appears tightly linked to life histories. For example, larger brained species generally live longer than smaller species. A requires more time grow and develop at a cost exceeded gestation period delayed weaning age. The slower development may be compensated by better homeostasis control increased cognitive abilities, both which should increase survival probabilities hence span. To date, this relationship...
Abstract Weather, predation, and social organization are hypothesized to influence sleeping habits of nonhuman primates at night. To investigate how the Yunnan snub‐nosed monkey ( Rhinopithecus bieti ) prepares for behaves during cold nights in their harsh alpine forest habitat (above 3,000 m), we studied 171 one‐male units (OMU) one group 12 months Xiangguqing Baimaxueshan Nature Reserve, China. It took 20.2 min from time study entered a site until they fell asleep. This duration was...
To enhance our understanding of dietary adaptations and socioecological correlates in colobines, we conducted a 20-mo study wild group Rhinopithecus bieti (Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys) the montane Samage Forest. This forest supports patchwork evergreen broadleaved, coniferous, mixed deciduous broadleaved/coniferous assemblages with total 80 tree species 23 families. The most common plant families by basal area are predominantly Pinaceae Fagaceae, comprising 69% biomass. Previous work has shown...
The gut microbiomes of non-human primates have received a great deal attention due to their close relationship humans. In recent years, these studies mainly focused on the microbiome wild primates, which will be helpful understanding evolution and (e.g., plasticity diet flexibility). However, there is still lack basic information from populations. Here, we investigated microbial composition (16S rRNA gene) function (metagenome metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs)) Yunnan snub-nosed monkey...
Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is a highly prevalent and disabling condition. Escitalopram venlafaxine extended release (XR) both are indicated for the treatment of GAD. Outpatients (ages 18-65 years) with DSM-IV-defined GAD (Hamilton Anxiety Scale [HAMA] >or=20) were eligible to participate in this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, flexible-dose trial. Following randomization, patients received 8 weeks double-blind escitalopram (10-20 mg/day; N=127), XR (75-225...
Ex situ (captivity in zoos) is regarded as an important form of conservation for endangered animals. Many studies have compared differences the gut microbiome between captive and wild animals, but few explained those at functional level due to limited amount 16S rRNA data. Here, we Rhinopithecus roxellana , whose high degree dietary specificity makes it a good subject observe effects environment on their microbiome, by performing metagenome-wide association study (MWAS). The Chao1 index was...
Background Allomaternal nursing, common in several species of social mammals, also has been reported nonhuman primates. However, the function this behavior enhancing infant survivorship remains poorly understood. Methodology and Principal Findings The study was conducted on a free-ranging group Yunnan snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus bieti) Baimaxueshan Natural Reserve. Direct observation ad libitum sampling were used to record allocare during 20 month field study. R. bieti exhibits...
In this study, we integrate data from field investigations, spatial analysis, genetic and Generalized Linear Models (GLMs) to evaluate the effects of habitat fragmentation on population dynamics, diversity, range shifts in endangered Yunnan snub-nosed monkey ( Rhinopithecus bieti ). The results indicate that 1994 2016, R. size increased less than 2,000 approximately 3,000 individuals. A primary factor promoting recovery was establishment protected nature reserves. We also found subpopulation...
Abstract Over the past 40 years, climate has been changing and human disturbance increased in vast Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP). These 2 factors are expected to affect distribution of a large number endemic vertebrate species. However, quantitative relationships between range shifts change these species QTP have rarely evaluated. We used occurrence records 19 terrestrial (birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles) occurring from 1980 2020 quantify effects anthropogenic impacts on 4 taxonomic...
Abstract Studying the ecological risk of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) to wild animals from human disturbance (HD) is an important aspect “One Health”. The highest level ARGs reflected in pathogenic antibiotic‐resistant bacteria (PARBs). Metagenomics was used analyze characteristics PARBs river sediments. Then, total contribution and virulence factors (VFs) were assessed determine health rivers. Results showed that HD increased diversity relative abundance ARG groups, as well kinds...
High-altitude dwelling primates have to optimize navigating a space that contains both vertical and horizontal component. Black-and-white or Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys ( Rhinopithecus bieti ) are extreme by primate standards in inhabiting relatively cold subalpine temperate forests at very high altitudes where large seasonal variation climate food availability is expected profoundly modulate their ranging strategies so as ensure positive energy balance. A “semi-nomadic” group of R. was...
