Divergent gut microbial metabolism supports niche partitioning in giant and red pandas Open
Introduction The gut microbiota plays a pivotal role in regulating the host's physiological functions and behavior. The coevolutionary relationship between the host and its gut microbiota facilitates adaptation to specific ecological niche…

Mitogenome Diversity and Phylogeny of Felidae Species Open
As apex predators, felids (Felidae) face unresolved phylogenetic controversies due to their recent rapid speciation and remarkable morphological conservatism. Previous studies, often relying on a limited number of genetic markers, were con…

Adaptive changes in the intestinal microbiota of giant pandas following reintroduction Open
The biggest challenge during the reintroduction of captive giant pandas into the wild is their ability to adapt to the natural environment, and the role of gut microbiota in this process remains unknown. Here, the gut microbiota was analyz…

The bacterial diversity and potential pathogenic risks of giant panda-infesting ticks Open
As common parasites in the wild, ticks significantly limit the population growth of wild giant pandas and hinder the process of reintroducing captive giant pandas into their natural habitats. Research on microbial communities and pathogens…

Genetic status assessment and future development forecast for an isolated giant panda population Open
The giant panda is a critical species for biodiversity conservation, yet the majority of its subpopulations are at high risk of extinction. To effectively guide conservation efforts and avert local extinctions, ongoing genetic monitoring i…

Low Reproductivity of Giant Pandas May Be Associated with Increased Vaginal Escherichia-Shigella Open
The poor reproductive capacity of giant pandas significantly hinders the development of captive populations, with 80.88% of adult individuals being unable to successfully become pregnant and deliver offspring. The disturbance of vaginal mi…

Symbiotic microbiota and odor ensure mating in time for giant pandas Open
To achieve reproduction, male solitary mammals need to locate females using chemical communication with high levels of precision. In the case of giant pandas, the total estrus period of females was usually 15 days each year, however, succe…

Complete Mitogenomes of Ticks Ixodes acutitarsus and Ixodes ovatus Parasitizing Giant Panda: Deep Insights into the Comparative Mitogenomic and Phylogenetic Relationship of Ixodidae Species Open
Ticks rank second in the world as vectors of disease. Tick infestation is one of the factors threatening the health and survival of giant pandas. Here, we describe the mitogenomes of Ixodes acutitarsus and Ixodes ovatus parasitizing giant …
View article: Virome of Giant Panda-Infesting Ticks Reveals Novel Bunyaviruses and Other Viruses That Are Genetically Close to Those from Giant Pandas
Virome of Giant Panda-Infesting Ticks Reveals Novel Bunyaviruses and Other Viruses That Are Genetically Close to Those from Giant Pandas Open
Ticks rank only second to mosquitoes as blood-feeding arthropods, capable of spreading pathogens (including viruses, bacteria, and parasites) to hosts during a blood meal. To better understand the relationship between viruses carried by ti…
