Re-evaluating climate as the best predictor of pika (Ochotona princeps) surface activity [PDF]
, 2016 Alpine and subalpine ecosystems are expected to experience a disproportionate amount of warming in the coming decades. Rising temperatures in these ecosystems threatens biodiversity and water resources globally. The American pika (Ochotona princeps) is a

Faecal Pellets as a Non‐Invasive Source for DNA‐Based Monitoring of Lagomorphs
Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.We review the use of faecal DNA to investigate wild lagomorph populations. In so doing, we examined ASPECTS like sampling design, storage medium, DNA extraction protocol, molecular markers, and the final yield of the analysis. We provide a valuable starting point for researchers who intend to conduct non‐invasive genetic investigations.

Assessment of Ruminal Bacterial and Archaeal Community Structure in Yak (Bos grunniens) [PDF]
, 2017 The aim of this study was to determine the microbial community composition in the rumen of yaks under different feeding regimes. Microbial communities were assessed by sequencing bacterial and archaeal 16S ribosomal RNA gene fragments obtained from yaks (

Ecosphere, 2020 Plateau pikas (Ochotona curzoniae) and plateau zokors (Myospalax baileyi) occur naturally in the alpine meadow of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP). Their feeding and burrowing activities affect plant composition and soil properties (e.g., soil carbon ...

Architecture Characteristics of Burrow System of Plateau Pika, Ochotona curzoniae
Pakistan Journal of Zoology, 2018 Burrows serve many functions for animals by providing a place for rearing young, sleeping, hibernation, food storage, protection from predators and extreme environment, and the function of burrows varies with the degree of burrow complexity. We studied the burrow architecture (length, internal dimensions, fractal dimension of tunnel systems, number of ...

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 322-338, February 2026.Abstract The biodiversity crisis necessitates spatially extensive methods to monitor multiple taxonomic groups for evidence of change in response to evolving environmental conditions. Programs that combine passive acoustic monitoring and machine learning are increasingly used to meet this need. These methods require large, annotated datasets, which are
