Transcriptome analysis of pika heart tissue reveals mechanisms underlying the adaptation of a keystone species on the roof of the world

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2022
High-altitude environments impose intense stresses on living organisms and drive striking phenotypic and genetic adaptations, such as hypoxia resistance, cold tolerance, and increases in metabolic capacity and body mass. As one of the most successful and

Species-Level Taxonomic Characterization of Uncultured Core Gut Microbiota of Plateau Pika

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2023
Rarely has the vast diversity of bacteria on Earth been profiled, particularly on inaccessible plateaus. These uncultured microbes, which are also known as “microbial dark matter,” may play crucial roles in maintaining the ecosystem and are linked to ...

Identifying Conservation and Conflict Zones for Tibetan Brown Bears Under Climate Change Through Integrated Habitat and Prey Modeling on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
This 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.

Effects of Plateau Pika Disturbance on the Spatial Heterogeneity of Vegetation in Alpine Meadows

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Herbivory is one of the important factors that influence spatial heterogeneity of vegetation in grasslands. In this study, we focused on plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) to investigate the effects of the presence of small semi-fossorial herbivores and ...
