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 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.

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 Evol
This 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.

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

Microbiology 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 ...

Plant Functional Groups Mediated the Effects of Plateau Pika Disturbance and Mowing on the Community Stability of Alpine Meadow Plants. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
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 ...

The plateau pika has multiple benefits for alpine grassland ecosystem in Qinghai–Tibet Plateau

Ecosystem Health and Sustainability, 2020
The plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) has been engaged in pest control for many years based on the logic that the plateau pika is responsible for alpine grassland degradation and competes with livestock for forage resources.

Corrigendum: The distribution and behavioral characteristics of plateau pikas (Ochotona curzoniae). ZooKeys 1059: 157–171. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.1059.63581 [PDF]

ZooKeys, 2022
With the help of Wen-Jing Li, the authors realized there was a mistake of surface temperature in the paper above. The surface temperature in the paper refers to the temperature recorded in images which was detected by the temperature receptors of the ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of Daurian pika (Ochotona dauurica)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
In this study, we sequenced and uploaded the complete mitochondrial genome of Daurian pika (Ochotona dauurica) for the first time using tissue obtained from a wild female sample captured from Inner Mongolia, China. This mitochondrial genome is a circular

The Utilization of Artificial Burrows by Plateau Pikas Under Rapid Vegetation Restoration. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Vegetation 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.
