Climate Tolerances and Habitat Requirements Jointly Shape the Elevational Distribution of the American Pika (Ochotona princeps), with Implications for Climate Change Effects. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Some of the most compelling examples of ecological responses to climate change are elevational range shifts of individual species, which have been observed throughout the world.

Experimental Stomach-ulcer on Pika
Experimental Animals, 1990 Experimental gastric ulcer formation was performed in the pika and compared with that in the rat. Gastric ulcers were formed in pika that were subjected to water restraint for 4-5 days for 2 hours each day. Gastric ulcers were also formed under conditions of 1-4 days for 3 hours each day and 1-2 days for 5 hours each day.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Domesticated European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) have long been chosen as laboratory model organisms. Despite this, there has been no definitive study of the vertebral musculature of wild rabbits. Relevant descriptions of well‐studied veterinary model mammals (such as dogs) are generally applicable, but not appropriate for a species ...

Animal empathy reconsidered: a multidimensional profile account
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Empathy is the glue that holds societies together and yet several fundamental questions about empathy persist. What is empathy (the definitional question)? Is it uniquely human and, if not, which nonhuman animals possess empathy (the distribution question)? Which type or quality of empathy is realized in different species (the quality question)
