Moderate plateau pika activity had minor effect on ecosystem C and N in alpine grasslands

Global Ecology and Conservation
Plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae, hereafter pika) is an ecosystem engineer on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP), whose activity exerts a profound effect on the ecosystem nutrient cycle of alpine grasslands.

Functional evolution of leptin of Ochotona curzoniae in adaptive thermogenesis driven by cold environmental stress.

PLoS ONE, 2011
BackgroundEnvironmental stress can accelerate the directional selection and evolutionary rate of specific stress-response proteins to bring about new or altered functions, enhancing an organism's fitness to challenging environments.

Plateau pika fecal microbiota transplantation ameliorates inflammatory bowel disease manifestations in a mouse model of colitis

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a serious global public health concern. Although the pathogenesis of the disease is currently unknown, it has been reported to be associated with both intestinal microbiota and inflammatory mediators. There is evidence

Lagomorph cranial biomechanics and the functional significance of the unique fenestrated rostrum of leporids

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The crania of leporid lagomorphs are uniquely fenestrated, including the posterior cranial bones and the lateral portion of the maxilla. The functional significance of the highly fenestrated rostrum has received considerably little attention, despite being absent in other mammalian herbivores with a long rostrum.
