TL;DR: Evidence indicated that, whereas global changes in climate were the primary drivers of population fluctuation for millions of years, human activities likely underlie recent population divergence and serious decline in pandas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative genomics reveals convergent evolution between the bamboo-eating giant and red pandas.

TL;DR: Comparative genomic analyses revealed adaptively convergent genes potentially involved with pseudothumb development and essential bamboo nutrient utilization and found that the umami taste receptor gene TAS1R1 has been pseudogenized in both pandas.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Morphological, behavioral, physiological, and genetic adaptations allow pandas to survive on their low-energy bamboo diet, and a unique mutation in the DUOX2 gene might explain these low thyroid hormone levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Progress in the ecology and conservation of giant pandas.
TL;DR: The major advancements in ecological science for the giant panda are reviewed, examining how these advancements have contributed to panda conservation and form a foundation for increasing the application of adaptive management approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI
Giant Pandas Are Not an Evolutionary cul-de-sac: Evidence from Multidisciplinary Research
TL;DR: The latest and most advanced research shows that giant pandas are successful animals highly adapted to a specialized bamboo diet via morphological, ecological, and genetic adaptations and coadaptation of gut microbiota.
