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

Effect of Plateau Pika Disturbance on Plant Aboveground Biomass of Alpine Meadows at Two Different Scales [PDF]
Plants, 2022 Disturbance by small burrowing herbivores often has an impact on plant aboveground biomass of grassland because it makes grasslands into a mosaic of discrete vegetated surfaces and bare soil patches.

Consequences of plateau pika disturbance on plant-soil carbon and nitrogen in alpine meadows [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceThe presence of burrowing mammals can have extensive effects on plants and soils, creating bare soil patches in alpine meadows and potentially altering plant-soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N). This study focuses on the plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) to

Spatiotemporal Coupling Relationship Between Plateau Pika Disturbance and Alpine Meadow Degradation [PDF]
Shuitu baochi tongbao, 2023 [Objective] Plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) is a key species in the alpine meadow ecosystem of the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau. The coupling relationship between pika activity and meadow degradation was analyzed in order to further improve the observation ...

The plateau pika has multiple benefits for alpine grassland ecosystem in Qinghai–Tibet Plateau
Ecosystem Health and Sustainability, 2020 The plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) has been engaged in pest control for many years based on the logic that the plateau pika is responsible for alpine grassland degradation and competes with livestock for forage resources.

Effect of Hypoxia on Ldh-c Expression in Somatic Cells of Plateau Pika [PDF]
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2016 Sperm specific lactate dehydrogenases (LDH-C4) is a lactate dehydrogenase that catalyzes the conversion of pyruvate to lactate. In mammals, Ldh-c was originally thought to be expressed only in testes and spermatozoa.

Habitat Utilization Preference by Small Mammals Is Associated With Geomorphic and Soil Properties: A Case Study of the Plateau Pika From the Eastern Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.This study, through a large‐scale survey, reveals a close relationship between plateau pika habitat use preferences and geomorphic and soil characteristics. The findings indicate that pikas prefer flat, sun‐facing terrain near water sources, as well as specific ranges of soil depth, organic matter, and moisture.
