Intermittent fasting driven different adaptive strategies in Eothenomys miletus (Red-backed vole) at different altitudes: based on the patterns of variations in intestinal microbiota [PDF]
BMC MicrobiologyIn the face of global warming, the Eothenomys miletus (Red - backed vole), a species dwelling in highland mountainous regions, is likely to encounter difficulties. Given its restricted mobility, it may struggle with the uncertainty of food resources.

Molecular Epidemiology and Genetic Diversity of Orientia tsutsugamushi From Patients and Small Mammals in Xiangyun County, Yunnan Province, China [PDF]
Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 5, September 2025.Scrub typhus is caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi (OT). In this study, the detection rates of OT in patients and small mammals were 28.13% (18/64) and 13.98% (13/93), respectively. Nine full‐length 56‐kDa TSA genes were identified, comprising four distinct genotypes: Karp‐like (n = 3), Kato‐like (n = 3), Gilliam (n = 2), and TA763 (n = 1). Recombination

Variation in Small Mammal Species Composition and the Occurrence of Parasitic Mites in Two Landscapes in a Scrub Typhus Endemic Region of Western Yunnan Province, China [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.Yunnan Province, the most serious scrub typhus endemic areas in China, provides abundant ecological resources that sustain parasite and host populations. The distribution of vector‐borne diseases is driven by interactions between hosts, vectors and the environment, revealing critical ecological dynamics.

Genomic Analysis and Population Divergence Driven by Geographic Isolation in Neotetracus sinensis [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.We generated the first chromosome‐level reference genome for Neotetracus sinensis and resequenced populations from the Gaoligong and Wuliang Mountains to investigate divergence across the Hengduan “sky‐island” landscape. Genomic data reveal strong population structure with negligible gene flow and parallel demographic histories shaped by Pleistocene ...

Characteristics comparative of gut microbiota in four small mammal species co-occurring in the Hengduan Mountains: differences in environmental adaptation strategies between alien and endemic species [PDF]
BMC MicrobiologyThe composition of gut microbiota is jointly determined by the host’s food habit, ecological niche, and genetic background, serving as a direct reflection of the host’s adaptation to its environment and evolutionary pressures. To investigate the distinct
