A New Species of Mustura Discovered from the Chindwin–Irrawaddy River Basin, Myanmar
The genus Mustura (Cypriniformes: Nemacheilidae) is distributed from the Yarlung Tsangpo River to the Mekong River basin, occurring mainly in northeastern India, Myanmar, northern Thailand, and Laos. During ichthyological surveys conducted in the Chindwin–Irrawaddy River basin, the research team collected a series of nemacheilid loach specimens. Detailed morphological comparisons combined with... more


40-Hz Auditory Stimulation Shows Long-Term Efficacy in Aged Monkeys, Offering Potential for Non-Invasive Alzheimer’s Therapy


A research team from the Kunming Institute of Zoology (KIZ) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has demonstrated for the first time in non-human primates that auditory stimulation at 40-Hz significantly elevates β-amyloid levels in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of aged rhesus monkeys, with this effect persisting for over five weeks.The study, published in PNAS on January 5, provides the first n... more
eDNA Breakthrough Enables Unprecedented Biodiversity Monitoring in Chinese Mountains
A groundbreaking study led by Prof. Douglas W. Yu at the Kunming Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has ushered in a new era for biodiversity monitoring in complex mountain ecosystems. Published in Ecology Letters, the research demonstrates how environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding can deliver high-quality, large-scale species distribution data efficiently—addressing a critica... more


New Study Reveals the Mechanism of Lactoferrin-Mediated Regulation of Perinatal Coagulation Homeostasis


The perinatal period is characterized by a critical physiological challenge: the high risk of hemorrhage during delivery. Simultaneously, pregnancy-associated venous thromboembolism (VTE) remains a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality, with risks increasing significantly during pregnancy and the early postpartum period. This creates a complex "bleeding-thrombosis" trade-off regardi... more
Bird-Friendly Tourism: A Conversation between Biodiversity Conservation and Rural Development
A study published in Avian Research demonstrates that the Hide-in-Bird Pond (HIBP) model—a community-based grassroots avitourism initiative where local communities establish artificial ponds and feeding stations to attract avian species for non-invasive observation and photography—has proliferated rapidly across China. This model supports substantial avian diversity while concurrently generat... more
