The decline of the Chinese giant salamander Andrias davidianus and implications for its conservation
The Chinese giant salamander Andrias davidianus is the largest living amphibian. Most wild populations are threatened and some are already extinct. The Chinese government has declared the species a…

Comparative genomic investigation of high-elevation adaptation in ectothermic snakes
TLDR
A de novo genome of the Tibetan hot-spring snake is provided and 308 putative genes that appear to be under positive selection in Thermophis are identified, including the genes for proteins involved in DNA damage repair (FEN1) and response to hypoxia (EPAS1).

Molecular Phylogeography and Evolutionary History of Poropuntius huangchuchieni (Cyprinidae) in Southwest China
TLDR
The results suggest that P. opisthoptera was a paraphyletic group of P. huangchuchieni and had keep long term large effective population sizes and demographic stability in the recent evolutionary history, which may be responsible for the high genetic diversity and incomplete lineages sorting of Poropuntius huangschuchiensi.

Testing Hypotheses of Pleistocene Population History Using Coalescent Simulations: Refugial Isolation and Secondary Contact in Pseudepidalea raddei (Amphibia: Bufonidae)
TLDR
Though the Pleistocene climatic events are known to have affected the historical distributions and intra-specific divergence of Chinese squamates, coalescent and non-coalescent demographic analyses indicated that the toad P raddei was not adversely affected by glacial cycling.
