Life‐history traits and fitness of plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) in alpine meadow ecosystem
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) is an endemic mammal living in the alpine meadow ecosystem in Qinghai–Tibet Plateau. We studied life history of plateau pika by mark–recapturing method.

YOLO-Pika: a lightweight improved model of YOLOv8n incorporating Fusion_Block and multi-scale fusion FPN and its application in the precise detection of plateau pikas [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceThe plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) is a keystone species on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, and its population density—typically inferred from burrow counts—requires rapid, low-cost monitoring.

Spatiotemporal Distribution Patterns of Plateau Foxes and Their Lagomorph Prey in Baqing County, Tibet [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionPredation by carnivores is a fundamental driver of species evolution, shaping interspecific spatiotemporal dynamics and prey behavior. To examine predator–prey‐driven spatiotemporal coexistence patterns between foxes and pikas on the Qinghai‐Tibetan ...
