Emergence of an ancient and pathogenic mammarenavirus
Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2023 Emerging zoonoses of wildlife origin caused by previously unknown agents are one of the most important challenges for human health. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau represents a unique ecological niche with diverse wildlife that harbours several human pathogens

Differences in Dietary Composition and Interspecific Competition Among Large Carnivores on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study elucidated the mechanisms underlying regional coexistence among the snow leopard (Panthera uncia), wolf (Canis lupus), and brown bear (Ursus arctos) through the analysis of their trophic niches. The findings provide a scientific foundation for further investigation into the mechanisms that maintain carnivore communities in high‐altitude ...

Agromyces badenianii sp. nov., isolated from plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae)
International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2020 Two aerobic, Gram-stain-positive, catalase-positive, non-motile and rod-shaped bacterial strains, designated MF30-AT and MF845, were isolated from the intestinal contents of plateau pika collected from the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau. Optimal growth of these two strains was observed under aerobic conditions at pH 7.0 and 28 °C. The 16S rRNA gene sequences of

Architecture Characteristics of Burrow System of Plateau Pika, Ochotona curzoniae
Pakistan Journal of Zoology, 2018 Burrows serve many functions for animals by providing a place for rearing young, sleeping, hibernation, food storage, protection from predators and extreme environment, and the function of burrows varies with the degree of burrow complexity. We studied the burrow architecture (length, internal dimensions, fractal dimension of tunnel systems, number of ...

Decades of Enclosure Protection Exert Composite Effects on Grassland Grasshopper Communities
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Decades of enclosure protection have altered grasshopper community structure, with species‐specific effects on population dynamics. For the low‐mobility grasshopper Chorthippus fallax, abundance did not differ strongly between exclosure‐protected and overgrazed areas, but its egg development duration was longer in exclosures. The two C.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.The 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 ...

Data_Sheet_1_Animal Activities of the Key Herbivore Plateau Pika (Ochotona curzoniae) on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau Affect Grassland Microbial Networks and Ecosystem Functions.docx [PDF]
, 2022 Plateau pikas (Ochotona curzoniae) are high-altitude model animals and famous “ecosystem engineers” on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Pika activities may accelerate the degradation of alpine meadows.
