Dynamical Analysis of a Plateau Pika with Cross-Diffusion under Contraception Control [PDF]
Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2014 A plateau pika model with spatial cross-diffusion is investigated. By analyzing the corresponding characteristic equations, the local stability of an coexistence steady state is discussed whend21is small enough. However, whend21is large enough, the model shows Turing bifurcation ifB2 -4AC > 0.

Function of Lactate Dehydrogenase in Cardiac and Skeletal Muscle of Phrynocephalus Lizard in Relation to High-Altitude Adaptation [PDF]
, 2018 Poikilothermic animals living in high-altitude environments can be greatly affected by the anaerobic metabolism and lactate recycling, which are catalyzed by an enzyme called lactate dehydrogenase (LDH).

Cardiovascular Plasticity and Adaptation of High‐Altitude Birds and Mammals
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.This schematic depicts the cardiovascular adaptations of mammals and birds to high‐altitude hypoxia. It highlights key phenotypic changes in oxygen transport and cardiac responses, driven by molecular mechanisms including transcriptional regulation and genetic modifications.

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 ...

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April/June 2026.Our study evaluates two non‐lethal methods for managing Columbian ground squirrels in Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada. We demonstrate that translocated squirrels exhibited lower survival than controls and that a deterrence methodology that includes blocking burrows may be an appropriate alternative, especially when combined with other tools ...

Direct observation of the band gap transition in atomically thin ReS$_2$
, 2017 ReS$_2$ is considered as a promising candidate for novel electronic and sensor applications. The low crystal symmetry of the van der Waals compound ReS$_2$ leads to a highly anisotropic optical, vibrational, and transport behavior.

Genomic Analysis and Population Divergence Driven by Geographic Isolation in Neotetracus sinensis
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.We generated the first chromosome‐level reference genome for Neotetracus sinensis and resequenced populations from the Gaoligong and Wuliang Mountains to investigate divergence across the Hengduan “sky‐island” landscape. Genomic data reveal strong population structure with negligible gene flow and parallel demographic histories shaped by Pleistocene ...
