The giant panda is unique as one of the most studied endangered species. Interestingly, despite this, little is known about basic male reproductive physiology. Behavioral problems have posed challenges for reproductive success in the captive population, while geographical isolation and habitat ...
Images of an adult wild giant panda were captured in an artificially constructed birthing den for the very first time in Deyang City, southwest China's Sichuan Province, marking a new breakthrough in the conservation of small panda populations.
Experts from the Deyang Management Bureau of the park explained that while the overall situation for giant panda conservation is positive, one of the current challenges is that wild giant pandas are divided into several populations that have difficulty interacting with each other, leading to a lack...
Canine distemper virus (CDV) is a known threat to the Giant panda in the wild and captivity. Modified live CDV vaccines historically may have been partly responsible along with poor nutrition for the runting-stunting syndrome seen in many pandas, often accompanied by dental enamel defects. Succes...

The effectiveness of ex situ breeding programs for endangered species can be limited by challenges in mimicking mating competitions that natur...
Thus, panda survival and reproduction are closely related to the climatic conditions of their habitats. Vegetation is often used to estimate habitat suitability and vegetation preference of giant pandas (Qi et al., 2012). Studies have shown that giant pandas tend to prefer primary forests with ...
Based on the updated Repbase library, we re-annotated transposable elements (TEs) in four Caniformia genomes (giant panda, polar bear, domestic dog, and domestic ferret) and performed a systematic, genome-wide comparison focusing on the Carnivora-specific SINE family, Can-SINEs. Results We found...
we evaluate the relationship between stereotypy performance and reproduction in the giant panda,Ailuropoda melanoleuca. Giant pandas, once Endangered but now Vulnerable47, are held in a network of zoos and breeding centres as insurance populations and as a source for conservation translocations to re-...
