They only consume bamboo a poor quality diet low in fat. But
18、the creatures appear to have evolved to get the most out of what they do eat, according to a new study.Their gut (肠道) bacteria change in late spring and early summer when bamboo is at its most nutritious while protein-rich green shoots are coming out. The bacteria make the panda gain more weight and
19、 store more fat, which researchers said may compensate for a lack of nutrients later in the year, when bamboo plants have only fibrous leaves to chew.“Weve known these pandas have a different set of gut microbiota during the shoot-eating season for a long time, and its very obvious that they are chu
20、bbier during this time of the year,” said lead study author Guangping Huang, a researcher for the Institute of Zoology at the Chinese Academy of Sciences.To investigate how the gut bacteria could affect a pandas digestion, the team first collected the wastes of eight wild giant pandas in Chinas Qinl
21、ing Mountains during both leaf eating season and shoot-eating season and then examined how the waste samples differed. They found a bacterium called Clostridium butyricum was more abundant in the pandas guts during the season when they enjoy the fresh bamboo shoots.To understand whether this bacteri

Then they fed the mice for three weeks with a bamboo-based diet that simulated (模仿) what pandas eat. Researchers found the mice which were transplanted with panda wastes collected during sho

However, Felix Sommer at Christian-Albrechts-University in Kiel, Germany, noted the number of pandas s

But men and those without a college degree were particularly affected because they seem to have experienced a much more dramatic
29、 decline over that period.”The Center questioned 5,054 people this past summer. It found Americans with a college degree feel more socially connected and are more active in their communities than people who didnt go to college. As a result, those who completed college report feeling less lonely.Prev

A 2012 study found that college-educated women were much more likely to get married than women who dropped out of high school. A 2013 study of people born between 1957 and 1964 found that both men and women who did
31、nt finish high school were less likely to marry than those with more education.Today, 65 percent of college-educated Americans over age 25 are married. About 50 percent of people with a high school diploma, or who dropped out of high school, are married. Those numbers were different in 1990, when ma
