Gut region influences the diversity and interactions of bacterial communities in pikas (Ochotona curzoniae and Ochotona daurica) [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2017
The mammalian microbial communities in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) play important roles in host nutrition and health. However, we still lack an understanding of how these communities are organized across GIT in natural environments. Here, using 16S rRNA gene sequencing, we analyzed the bacterial community diversity, network interactions and ...

The plant secondary compound swainsonine reshapes gut microbiota in plateau pikas (Ochotona curzoniae). [PDF]

Appl Microbiol Biotechnol, 2021
Abstract Plants produce various plant secondary compounds (PSCs) to deter the foraging of herbivorous mammals. However, little is known about whether PSCs can reshape gut microbiota and promote gut homeostasis of hosts.

Cardiac adaptation to high altitude in the plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae). [PDF]

Physiol Rep, 2013
The aim of this study was to assess maximal heart rate (HR) and heart morphological changes in high altitude living "plateau pikas" and rats bred at 2260 m. Rats and pikas were catheterized to measure HR (2260 m). After baseline measurements, 1 mg/kg of atropine (AT) and increasing doses of isoproterenol (IsoP) (0.1, 1, 10, and 100 μg kg) were injected

Animal Activities of the Key Herbivore Plateau Pika (Ochotona curzoniae) on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau Affect Grassland Microbial Networks and Ecosystem Functions [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 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.

A homotetrameric hemoglobin expressed in alveolar epithelial cells increases blood oxygenation in high-altitude plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae)

Cell Reports, 2022
Summary: The plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) is native to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. In this study, the gene that encodes a heme-binding protein in the pulmonary surfactant (PS) of the pika is identified. The protein is a homotetrameric hemoglobin (δ4)

Effect of chronic traffic noise on behavior and physiology of plateau pikas (Ochotona curzoniae)

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
During the last two decades, numerous studies have shown the effects of traffic noise on animal vocal communication. However, studies on the influences of traffic noise on wildlife behavior and physiology are scarce.

Infections and genetic diversity of Cryptosporidium spp. and Giardia spp. in small wild mammals on the Eastern Tibetan plateau: public health implications [PDF]

BMC Microbiology
Background Cryptosporidium and Giardia are protozoan parasites that cause significant diarrheal diseases. Small mammals are potential reservoirs for their zoonotic transmission. The Tibetan Plateau alpine ecosystem harbors diverse and abundant small wild
