These scientific stories systematically unveiled the evolutionary history, adaptive strategy, cause of endangerment, and evolutionary potential of the giant panda under environmental changes and anthropogenic pressure, highlighting its evolution in every aspect of its body and behavior to adapt the transition to specialized bamboo diet. With illustrative examples and plentiful photographs taken in the wild, the secret life of pandas and the science behind are sure to satisfy reader's curiosity. Among the other things, this book gives answers to the frequently asked questions of whether the panda is an "volutionary cul-de-sac" and whether there remains hope for them to survive and enjoy a brighter future. The giant panda is a well-known flagship species in the field of conservation science for its unique appeal and specialized characteristics. Besides, it is also an ideal model for researchers to understand adaptive evolution. Over the past thirty years, the author and leading conservation scientist Dr. Fuwen Wei, has been focusing on the research and conservation of wild pandas in China 001443718 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed January 18, 2022). 001443718 650_0 $$aGiant panda. 001443718 650_0 $$aGiant panda$$xConservation. 001443718 650_6 $$aPanda géant. 001443718 650_6 $$aPanda géant$$xConservation. 001443718 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001443718 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aWei, Fuwen.$$tHope for the Giant Panda.$$dSingapore : Springer Singapore Pte.
