Specific objectives of this study include: 1) assess the influence of season on male giant panda reproduction by determining annual changes in testis size, body size, testosterone production, sperm quality and production, and reproductive behaviors throughout the year; 2) characterize the onset of ...
Giant Panda reproduction and survival rates are very low, because Panda mother doesn't know how to take care of baby Panda, one of the reasons this is the Panda an endangered. 翻译结果4复制译文编辑译文朗读译文返回顶部 The giant panda breeding rate and survival rates are very low, because Pa...
A total of 18 adult giant pandas at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding were selected as subjects; information about the pandas is presented in Table 1. The 9 females and 9 males were in good health during the research phase, which began in September 2015 and ended in Februar...
In recent years, research in a variety of species has demonstrated that environmental enrichment can be an effective tool to promote animal welfare, enhance captive reproduction efforts, and elicit species-appropriate behaviors that might otherwise not be observed in captivity. The San Diego Zoo is ...
Although it is generally agreed that the giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is a member of the order Carn颅vora, there has long been disagreement over wh... SJ O'Brien,WG Nash,DE Wildt,... - 《Nature》 被引量: 421发表: 1985年 Ethology and Reproduction of Captive Giant Pandas (Ailurop...
Considerable efforts have been put on panda conservation and reproduction, offering the promising outcome of maintaining the population size of pandas. To evaluate the effectiveness of conservation and management strategies, recognizing individual pandas is critical. However, it remains a challenging task ...
The giant panda is one of the world's most recognized animals. With the environment undergoing unprecedented change at a rapid and accelerating rate, can such a highly specialized species survive? This 2006 book summarizes panda biology and encompasses topics such as reproduction, behaviour, nutrition...
Of the many peculiarities that enable the giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca), a member of the order Carnivora, to adapt to life as a dedicated bamboo feeder, its extra “thumb” is arguably the most celebrated yet enigmatic. In addition to the normal f
In addition, the design of conservation strategies for the wild panda population is also limited by the lack of information on the population's genetics. Although microsatellite loci ana- lyses [3-8] have been used to assess the genetic variability and evaluate the population size for giant ...
Here we investigate the effects of female, male and mutual mate preference on reproductive outcomes using dichotomous choice tests in the giant panda. We find breeding female and male giant pandas to a preferred mate increases intromission success from as low as 0% where both partners are non-...
