• Range-wide analysis of wildlife habitat: Implications for conservation (2010, background): “This is the case of the endangered giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca), which is considered a global icon of biodiversity conservation (Liu et al., 2001; Loucks et al., 2001; Mackinnon and De Wulf, 1994).”
• Ecological and socioeconomic effects of China's policies for ecosystem services (2008, unknown): “, poverty alleviation, social conflicts, and economic development) (1, 4, 5).”
• Climate Change Threatens Giant Panda Protection in the 21st Century (2015, background): “Giant pandas historically lived in warmer regions at lower elevations and consumed many other species of bamboo that the giant pandas no longer feed on because they have moved to higher elevations to avoid anthropogenic stresses (Loucks et al., 2001).”
• Impact of China's Large-Scale Ecological Restoration Program on the Environment and Society in Arid and Semiarid Areas of China: Achievements, Problems, Synthesis, and Applications (2011, background): “The NFCP policy also strengthened conservation of the panda and other endangered animal and plant species in China by enhancing the protection and restoration of corridors among remaining forest fragments and increasing habitat preservation (Loucks et al., 2001).”
• Climate change‐induced decline in bamboo habitats and species diversity: implications for giant panda conservation (2015, background): “Human destruction to the bamboo forests is one of the major causes of the drastic reduction in the number and distribution of giant pandas in the past decades (Liu et al., 2001; Loucks et al., 2001; Shen et al., 2008; Ran et al., 2009).”
• Modeling Impacts of Climate Change on Giant Panda Habitat (2012, background): “Enhancing their chance for survival will depend on improving connectivity by increasing protection of suitable habitat and establishing corridors to connect isolated populations [4, 68, 76].”
• Panda Downlisted but not Out of the Woods (2018, background): “2016): China’s extraordinary protection and restoration measures for forests in the panda’s range (Loucks et al. 2001; Liu et al. 2016) are indisputably the conservation measures most responsible for this downlisting milestone (Swaisgood et al.”
• Shared resources between giant panda and sympatric wild and domestic mammals (2015, background): “The landscapes have been significantly altered by agriculture, commercial logging, highway construction, and other human activities in the past decades (Loucks et al., 2001).”
• Divergent responses of sympatric species to livestock encroachment at fine spatiotemporal scales (2017, methodology): “Elevationwas extracted fromaDigital ElevationModel obtainedby mission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER). wildlife habitat degradation and wildlife population decline in the reserve (Liu et al., 2001; Loucks et al., 2001; Sichuan Provincial Forestry Department, 2015).”
• Giant panda distributional and habitat‐use shifts in a changing landscape (2018, background): “This finding is a strong endorsement of China's forestry policies, such as the logging ban and reforestation programs (Liu et al., 2008, 2016; Loucks et al., 2001; Xu et al., 2017), and suggests that having set these ecological processes in motion, habitat will continue to improve.”
