Soil Organic Carbon Content and Density in Response to Pika Outbreaks Along the Altitudinal Gradient in Alpine Meadows of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, West China

Land
This study investigated the effects of plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) disturbances and altitude on soil organic carbon (SOC) storage characteristics, including SOC content and SOC density (SOCD).

The expression of Ldh-c in the skeletal muscle of plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) enhances adaptation to a hypoxic environment

Biology Open, 2017
The plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) is a species of sprint-running alpine animals in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which is a harsh highland hypoxic environment. Ldh-c is expressed in the testis, sperm and somatic tissues of plateau pika.

Social Drivers of Vocal Flexibility in Female Baboons

Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 6, Page 390-398, June 2026.
Female olive baboons selectively grunt when encountering females with dependent offspring. Grunting likelihood depends on rank differences and the strength of their social bond. This study adds to the evidence that nonhuman primates have evolved to use structurally‐inflexible vocalisations in population and context‐flexible ways.

Pseudogenization of CCL14 in the Ochotonidae (pika) family

Innate Immunity, 2015
The interaction between chemokines and their receptors is crucial for inflammatory cell trafficking. CCL14 binds with high affinity to CCR5. In leporids, CCR5 underwent gene conversion with CCR2. The study of CCR5 ligands in leporid species showed that CCL8 is pseudogenized, while CCL3, CCL4 and CCL5 are functional.

Burrowing-mammal-induced enhanced soil multifunctionality is associated with higher microbial network complexity in alpine meadows

Geoderma
The Plateau pika, a native burrowing mammal in alpine ecosystems, induces significant alterations in both the diversity and functions of the above-ground plant community; however, their effects on the below-ground soil microbial community and its ...
