Inter-specific competition can play a large role in determining the dynamics of carnivore populations.Snow leopard (Pantheraunica) inhabit rocky high altitude mountain ranges across Central Asia along
Shortridges capped Langurs (Trachypithecus shortridgei),categorized as endangered in the IUCN Red list,only occur in southwestern China and northeastern Myanmar.Until now,little is known on living con
Snow leopards range across 1.1 million km2 of Chinas mountain ecosystems,in the western provinces of the country.The range coincides with over 10,000km of national border adjoining 11 neighbouring sno

Carnivore surveys were undertaken in Taxkorgan Nature Reserve,China in 2009 and 2011.Surveys on 64 line transects were conducted in order to identify field signs and collect scats of the Snow leopard
国内对野生猫科动物的生态研究较多应用宏观调查指标,利用分子生物学技术手段的生态学研究还较少。本研究利用mtDNA、性别基因以及微卫星座位等分子标记手段,对东北虎(Panthera tigris altaica)、欧亚猞猁(Lynx lynx)、豹猫(Prionailurus bengalensis)、兔狲(Otocolobus manul)开展了非损伤采集粪样识别物种、鉴定性别和区分个体的研究,并
行为谱是动物所表现的所有行为序列,为准确表述动物的行为特征,需对动物行为进行归类、命名和分析.PAE 编码系统是迄今较为有效的一种动物行为描述方法.该系统把动物行为分解为姿势(postures,P)、动作(acts,A)和行为发生的环境(environments,E),已被广泛用于动物行为谱分析.学者们已报道了部分哺乳动物如麋鹿(Elaphurus davidianus)、太行山猕猴(Macaca
