Identifying Conservation and Conflict Zones for Tibetan Brown Bears Under Climate Change Through Integrated Habitat and Prey Modeling on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study evaluates the future habitat dynamics of the Tibetan brown bear on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau under climate change by integrating predator–prey relationships and environmental variables using the MaxEnt model. Results show significant habitat contraction and shifting patterns, increasing the risk of human‐bear conflict.

The Utilization of Artificial Burrows by Plateau Pikas Under Rapid Vegetation Restoration. [PDF]
Ecol EvolVegetation changes often elicit adaptive responses in herbivores. Plateau pikas do not prefer to cope with rapid vegetation changes by adjusting the use of spatial resources. Instead, burrow accessibility and scent‐marking potential—driven by morphological preferences—are the primary determinants shaping their spatial resource selection.

Molecular identification of Echinococcus multilocularis infection in small mammals from Northeast, Iran. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2013 BACKGROUND: Alveolar echinococcosis is a zoonotic disease caused by the metacestode of Echinococcus multilocularis. Many species of small mammals, including arvicolid rodents or Ochotona spp., are natural intermediate hosts of the cestode.
