mitochondrial phylogeography and genetic diversity of tibetan gazelle (procapra picticaudata): implications for conservation.	the tibetan gazelle (procapra picticaudata) is a threatened species and distributed on the qinghai-tibet plateau of china (qinghai province, tibet autonomous region and the adjacent gansu province, sichuan province, and xinjiang uigur autonomous region). small peripheral populations of tibetan gazelle were once found in northern sikkim and ladakh, but now these are close to extinction. to describe the evolutionary history and to assess the genetic diversity within this monotypic species and popu ...	2006	16837214
studies of "unsteady gait disease" of the tibetan gazelle (procapra picticaudata).	clinical signs of a disease locally referred to as "unsteady gait disease" for the tibetan gazelle (procapra picticaudata) were observed in the qinghai lake watershed area, china. the objective of this study was to determine if there was a relationship between the disease and copper (cu) deficiency. chemical examinations showed that cu concentrations in soil and forage samples were similar from areas where gazelles were affected and unaffected. however, concentrations of sulfur (s) and molybdenu ...	2010	20688650
[food habits and hunting patterns of tibetan brown bear during warm seasons in kekexili region on qinghai-tibetan plateau].	tibetan brown bear (ursus arctos pruinosus) is an endemic subspecies of brown bear on the qinghai-tibetan plateau. we once reported a preliminary study on the summer food habit of tibetan brown bear from july to august, 2005 in the kekexili (hoh xil).. however, the hunting modes of the tibetan brawn bear have not been reported. from july to august, 2009, we collected additional data on food habits and hunting patterns of tibetan brown bear in the kekexili region. we found tibetan brown bears are ...	2010	21174359
