How much do field mice prefer dwarf bamboo seeds? Two‐choice experiments between seeds of Sasa borealis and several tree species on the forest floor

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023
In this study, we evaluate the preference of field mice (Apodemus speciosus and A. argenteus) for dwarf bamboo (Sasa borealis) seeds, which are supplied once every 120 years by a mast seeding event, in comparison with seeds of four tree species in the forest ecosystem. The key results show a higher preference for S.

The complex genomic diversity of Yersinia pestis on the long‐term plague foci in Qinghai–Tibet plateau

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2023., 2023
We conducted genomic population and phylogenetic analyses of the Yersinia pestis collected from 12 natural plague foci in China with more than 20 kinds of hosts and vectors. The evolutionary history and correlation between the genetic groups and plague foci of this study provide new insights into the control of plague outbreaks and epidemics, deepened ...

Orientia tsutsugamushi Infection in Wild Small Mammals in Western Yunnan Province, China

Pathogens, 2023
Small mammals can transmit and serve as a reservoir for Orientia tsutsugamushi (Ot) in nature by carrying infected mites. In Yunnan, one of China’s main foci of scrub typhus, etiological evidence and genetic diversity for Ot is limited.
