Can Herbivore Feeding Preferences Reinforce the Female‐Biased Sex Ratio in an Alpine Willow? [PDF]
Ecol EvolSex‐biased herbivory can vary among co‐occurring herbivores and across the season. Sequential herbivory by species with different feeding preferences may influence the population dynamics of dioecious plants, particularly if early‐season herbivory alters plant traits that affect subsequent foraging decisions.

Habitat Utilization Preference by Small Mammals Is Associated With Geomorphic and Soil Properties: A Case Study of the Plateau Pika From the Eastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study, through a large‐scale survey, reveals a close relationship between plateau pika habitat use preferences and geomorphic and soil characteristics. The findings indicate that pikas prefer flat, sun‐facing terrain near water sources, as well as specific ranges of soil depth, organic matter, and moisture.

Plant Functional Groups Mediated the Effects of Plateau Pika Disturbance and Mowing on the Community Stability of Alpine Meadow Plants. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe response mechanisms of plant community composition, functional group biomass, vegetation‐soil properties, and community stability to plateau pika and mowing disturbance intensity exhibited distinct differences. Gramineae and Sedge aboveground biomass and soil nutrient content demonstrated more pronounced responses to both disturbances and their ...
