Effects of Plateau Pika Disturbance on the Spatial Heterogeneity of Vegetation in Alpine Meadows
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Herbivory is one of the important factors that influence spatial heterogeneity of vegetation in grasslands. In this study, we focused on plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) to investigate the effects of the presence of small semi-fossorial herbivores and ...

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

An Automatically Initialized Level Set Method for Ochotona Curzoniae Image Segmentation
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2021 Abstract In order to effectively solve this problem that that the traditional level set method needs to mark the initial contour manually, a novel method that automatic initialization by utilizing deep learning is proposed in this paper.

A modified enrichment method to construct microsatellite library from plateau pika genome (Ochotona curzoniae). [PDF]
Genomics Proteomics Bioinformatics, 2010 A microsatellite-enriched library of plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) was constructed according to the strong affinity between biotin and streptavidin. Firstly, genomic DNA was fragmented by ultrasonication, which is a major improvement over traditional

Agromyces badenianii sp. nov., isolated from plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae)
International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2020 Two aerobic, Gram-stain-positive, catalase-positive, non-motile and rod-shaped bacterial strains, designated MF30-AT and MF845, were isolated from the intestinal contents of plateau pika collected from the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau. Optimal growth of these two strains was observed under aerobic conditions at pH 7.0 and 28 °C. The 16S rRNA gene sequences of

Differences in Dietary Composition and Interspecific Competition Among Large Carnivores on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study elucidated the mechanisms underlying regional coexistence among the snow leopard (Panthera uncia), wolf (Canis lupus), and brown bear (Ursus arctos) through the analysis of their trophic niches. The findings provide a scientific foundation for further investigation into the mechanisms that maintain carnivore communities in high‐altitude ...

Architecture Characteristics of Burrow System of Plateau Pika, Ochotona curzoniae
Pakistan Journal of Zoology, 2018 Burrows serve many functions for animals by providing a place for rearing young, sleeping, hibernation, food storage, protection from predators and extreme environment, and the function of burrows varies with the degree of burrow complexity. We studied the burrow architecture (length, internal dimensions, fractal dimension of tunnel systems, number of ...
