The red panda (Ailurus), a rare and endangered mammal native to the Himalayan-Hengduan Mountains, has a specialized bamboo diet. Combining morphological and genomic evidence, red pandas have been classified as and . However, previous studies focused on ecological aspects such as foraging behaviors, habitat use and threats within specific distributions; hence, there is still a gap in quantitative comparative studies on the trophic niches of these two species.

State Key Laboratory of Systematic and Evolutionary Botany, Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100093, China.
Article Synopsis
- - Polyploidy, a condition where an organism has more than two sets of chromosomes, is important for plant evolution and genetic diversity, especially highlighted in the study of a fern species endemic to the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau and Hengduan Mountains.
- - The researchers sampled 586 individuals and found three ploidy levels: diploid, tetraploid, and hexaploid, discovering that tetraploids had a broader geographic range, while diploids were mainly limited to one area.
- - The study revealed that polyploid populations had higher migration rates between regions and thrived better post-glacial periods, suggesting they are more adaptable to environmental changes compared to diploids, which is key for

, a herb from southeastern Xizang, China, has its first complete chloroplast genome sequenced using next-generation sequencing. The genome is 151,814 bp, consisting of inverted repeats (IRs; 26,323 bp), small single-copy (SSC; 17,524 bp), and large single-copy regions (LSC; 81,644 bp). It encodes 112 unique genes: 78 protein-coding, 30 tRNA, and 4 rRNA genes.

Article Synopsis
- - The Hengduan Mountains, known for their rich biodiversity, host the endemic butterfly Minois aurata, which thrives in arid valley environments, making it a key species for studying evolutionary adaptations to such conditions.
- - A comprehensive genome assembly for M. aurata revealed it has a genome size of about 609.17 Mb containing over 16,000 protein-coding genes, with a significant number linked to adaptations for ultraviolet radiation, heat, and low oxygen levels.
- - Phylogenomic and demographic analyses showed M. aurata’s evolutionary relationships within its genus and indicated a significant population decline occurring roughly 400,000 and 40,000 years ago, likely due to past climatic changes.
