The Utilization of Artificial Burrows by Plateau Pikas Under Rapid Vegetation Restoration

Ecology and Evolution
ABSTRACT Vegetation changes often elicit adaptive responses in herbivores. However, how burrow‐dwelling animals utilize the potential underground spatial resource in response to rapid aboveground vegetation changes remains poorly understood.

Effect of bioturbation by plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) on soil carbon and nitrogen stocks in alpine meadows

Global Ecology and Conservation
The plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) is a predominant small burrowing herbivore that plays a vital role within the alpine meadow ecosystem of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Ecological threshold and the mechanisms of plateau pika (

Ecological Indicators
Plateau pika ( Ochotona curzoniae , hereafter pika) is a keystone species and allogenic engineer on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP). However, excessive pika density adversely affects alpine grasslands.
