Abstract
Population size, sex ratio, and age structure are basic parameters of population ecology and are fundamental for studying population dynamics and viability analysis. The population dynamics (increase or decline) of giant pandas has long been a concern. The traditional view suggested that population collapse and low genetic diversity were important drivers that led to pandas’ endangerment. Is this really the case?
