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 ...

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 EvolThis 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.
