Preference for ground cover when selecting burrow entrances in plateau pikas

Ecology and Evolution
Burrow‐dwelling animals such as the plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) often seek sturdy entrances for their burrows, which can reduce the need for frequent maintenance.

高原鼠兔对极端低氧环境的生理、行为和分子生物学适应研究进展

野生动物学报, 2022
从生理学、行为学及分子生物学等方面对高原鼠兔（Ochotona curzoniae）的低氧适应机制进行阐述，发现高原鼠兔血液与血红蛋白的结合、释放氧的能力较高，这对低氧时体内氧的传递是有利的；肺小动脉壁变薄，这有利于在低氧条件下进行气体交换，使更多的氧进入肺部，同时高原鼠兔的右心室重量低于常氧环境中的大鼠。这就最大限度防止了高原鼠兔在低氧环境中出现右心室衰竭。行为学研究主要集中在其繁殖行为方面，分子生物学研究主要集中在其血管生成、能量代谢和携氧蛋白的携氧能力方面。

Simulation and response mechanism of potential geographical distribution of plateau pika Ochotona curzoniae under climate change

Global Ecology and Conservation
With global warming, climate change had significant impacts on the distribution of species and their habitats. As one of the keystone species of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP), the plateau pika Ochotona curzoniae plays a vital role in the alpine ...

Dual detection and novel genotypes of Giardia and Leishmania in Ochotona curzoniae from Zoige County, Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
IntroductionGiardia and Leishmania are important zoonotic parasites, yet their transmission dynamics in wildlife hosts on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau remain unclear. As a keystone species on the Plateau, Ochotona curzoniaes overlap spatially with livestock
