Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.Our study suggests pronounced spatiotemporal niche differentiation as a mechanism facilitating two mesocarnivores' coexistence, and enhances our understanding of the mechanisms underlying sympatric coexistence on the Tibetan Plateau. ABSTRACT Predation by carnivores is a fundamental driver of species evolution, shaping interspecific spatiotemporal ...

How do plateau pikas use burrows during population reestablishment?
Global Ecology and ConservationThe construction of burrow systems is one of the most important challenges for burrowing animals, especially during population reestablishment. Efficient use of the existing resources could help improve the survival chances.

Genomic Analysis and Population Divergence Driven by Geographic Isolation in Neotetracus sinensis
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.We generated the first chromosome‐level reference genome for Neotetracus sinensis and resequenced populations from the Gaoligong and Wuliang Mountains to investigate divergence across the Hengduan “sky‐island” landscape. Genomic data reveal strong population structure with negligible gene flow and parallel demographic histories shaped by Pleistocene ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.Emerging infectious diseases increasingly threaten giant pandas and cohabiting species. This review analyzes pathogen transmission risks from domestic animals, wildlife, and vectors and proposes an integrated genomic surveillance framework for early warning and biodiversity conservation.

Grassland Research, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 24-34, March 2026.Tiny “ecosystem engineers,” plateau pikas range across 1600 m², about two basketball courts, mixing soil and nutrients that sustain Tibet's fragile grasslands. Custom‐made trackers and drone imagery show dawn‐to‐dusk surface foraging and nested‐scale patch choices, offering fresh guidance for wildlife‐friendly grazing management.

野生动物学报, 2013 高原鼠兔作为青藏高原上广泛分布的小型穴居植食性哺乳动物受到了人们的广泛关注。其植食性特点和挖掘活动对高寒草地植被、生物多样性、物质循环等方面具有重要影响,但这种影响对青藏高原草地生态系统的利弊还存在较大争议。一方面认为,高原鼠兔可提高栖息地植被的丰度;维持生态系统的多样性,为捕食者提供食物资源,也为许多其他动物提供栖息地;同时,其挖掘活动会对土壤产生扰动,增加土壤的渗透力和含水量,促进物质循环。另一方面,有学者认为,高原鼠兔会破坏植物根系和土壤结构,加快土壤的侵蚀速度,降低栖息地的植被质量 ...

Microorganisms, 2020 Animal gut microbiomes can be clustered into “enterotypes” characterized by an abundance of signature genera. The characteristic determinants, stability, and resilience of these community clusters remain poorly understood.

Grassland Research, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 35-43, March 2026.Grassland functional zoning and spatial optimization scheme on the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau. Based on multifunctionality assessment, the scheme proposes allocating 32% of regional grassland as nature reserve grasslands (biodiversity focus), 63% as livestock grazing grasslands (smart ecological–production management), and 5% as cultivated grasslands (high‐
