DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2020.108414
Abstract: Abstract Giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is an iconic species of conservation. However, long-term monitoring of wild giant pandas has been a challenge, largely due to the lack of appropriate method for the identification of target… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2019.04.021
Abstract: Historically, the giant panda was widely distributed from northern China to southwestern Asia [1]. As a result of range contraction and fragmentation, extant individuals are currently restricted to fragmented mountain ranges on the eastern margin… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2019.105886
Abstract: Abstract Climate change has been predicted as a major threat to giant panda habitat. While modelling prediction of the impact of climate change on habitat quality may overlook or underestimate biological interactions and adaptations, long-term… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.gecco.2019.e00644
Abstract: Abstract Since 2005, 12 captive pandas have been translocated into the wild. Of these, three were killed by conditional pathogen infections after release. Given that the gut microbiome is important to host health and environmental… read more here.
