DataSheet2_Differential Expression of Metabolism-Related Genes in Plateau Pika (Ochotona curzoniae) at Different Altitudes on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau.zip

, 2022
According to life history theory, animals living in extreme environments have evolved specific behavioral and physiological strategies for survival. However, the genetic mechanisms underpinning these strategies are unclear.

Prediction of Suitable Distribution Area of Plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau under Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs)

, 2022
The Qinghai–Tibet Plateau is one of the regions most strongly affected by climate change. The climate feedback of the distribution of plateau pika, a key species, is closely related to the trophic structure of the plateau ecosystem and the ...

Small Semi-Fossorial Herbivores Affect the Allocation of Above- and Below-Ground Plant Biomass in Alpine Meadows

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Small semi-fossorial herbivores can affect plant aboveground biomass (AGB) in grasslands and possibly alter the allocation of AGB and belowground biomass (BGB).

USING A CELLULAR-AUTOMATA MODEL TO INVESTIGATE THE EFFECTS OF GRAZING ON PLATEAU PIKA POPULATION DYNAMICS

, 2011
The plateau pika is a keystone species of Qinghai–Tibet plateau, but its overabundance aggravates the degradation of alpine meadow. Grazing is the most convenient manner to utilize alpine meadow.

Decades of Enclosure Protection Exert Composite Effects on Grassland Grasshopper Communities

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Decades of enclosure protection have altered grasshopper community structure, with species‐specific effects on population dynamics. For the low‐mobility grasshopper Chorthippus fallax, abundance did not differ strongly between exclosure‐protected and overgrazed areas, but its egg development duration was longer in exclosures. The two C.

Mitochondrial physiology in cardiac muscle of deer mice native to high altitude

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend High‐altitude deer mice exhibited evolved changes in mitochondrial energy metabolism and reactive oxygen species (ROS) management that may support cardiac performance under cold hypoxic conditions. High‐altitude mice had increased activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in the heart, probably enhancing the capacity for lactate ...

Plant Functional Groups Mediated the Effects of Plateau Pika Disturbance and Mowing on the Community Stability of Alpine Meadow Plants

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
The response mechanisms of plant community composition, functional group biomass, vegetation‐soil properties, and community stability to plateau pika and mowing disturbance intensity exhibited distinct differences. Gramineae and Sedge aboveground biomass and soil nutrient content demonstrated more pronounced responses to both disturbances and their ...

Transcriptome analysis of pika heart tissue reveals mechanisms underlying the adaptation of a keystone species on the roof of the world

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
High-altitude environments impose intense stresses on living organisms and drive striking phenotypic and genetic adaptations, such as hypoxia resistance, cold tolerance, and increases in metabolic capacity and body mass. As one of the most successful and
