Life history of the plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) in alpine meadows of the Tibetan Plateau

Mammalian Biology, 2013
The life history of a species is a result of natural selection and reflects how the species is adapted to its environment. Knowledge of life history is crucial for further ecological studies and conservation management. This paper presents aspects of the life history of the plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae), a small mammal native to alpine meadows of ...

Modeling dispersal of the plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) using a cellular automata model

Ecological Modelling, 2007
The plateau pika is a keystone species of the Qinghai-Xizang plateau. We ought to intensify the inspection and management about its population dynamics in order to bring it to appropriate spatio-temporal distribution, play the role of keystone species, and do not destroy the alpine grasslands.

[Cloning and characterization of lactate dehydrogenase C4 from pika ochotona curzoniae].

Molekuliarnaia biologiia, 2015
Lactate dehydrogenase C4 (LDH-C4) is considered to be a good target protein for the development of contraceptive drugs. To develop contraceptive rodenticide against pika (Ochotona curzoniae) LDH-C4, the pika LDH-C gene was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant protein was purified and characterized.

Effects of temperature and photoperiod on thermogenesis in plateau pikas ( Ochotona curzoniae ) and root voles ( Microtus oeconomus )

Journal of Comparative Physiology B: Biochemical, Systemic, and Environmental Physiology, 1999
We examined the effects of temperature and photoperiod on metabolic thermogenesis and the thermogenic characteristics of brown adipose tissue in plateau pikas (Ochotona curzoniae) and root voles (Microtus oeconomus), the dominant species of small mammals in the alpine meadow ecosystems on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau.

Dietary niche of Ochotona curzoniae in alpine meadows based on stable isotope analysis.

Ying yong sheng tai xue bao = The journal of applied ecology
Understanding the dietary niche characteristics of Ochotona curzoniae across different population densities is of great significance for correctly recognizing its function and position in grasslands and scientifically evaluating their harmfulness. Using Bayesian stable isotope mass balance mixing model, we analyzed the dietary habits and ecological ...
